Hi @texasaviatrix sorry to hear you can no longer fly due to your health. It had to be awesome having your own airport. You can actually enjoy flying once again. Have you tried creating your own simulator? Using VR(virtual reality) goggles makes it even more interesting and SO real. You can see examples on youtube.com from people who review the different equipment. You can select a plane and any worldwide airport. If you prefer a carrier is also available. The control panel is the actual panel on the plane you select. With the goggles anywhere you look you will see an image. It makes you feel as though you are in the plane. Nice way to get away for a vacation especially in today’s world. This experience may distract you from the pain you are having. I hope this helps. Toni

Thank you, for the suggestion. I am familiar with the VR simulators. Although the technology came along long after I got my license, it is used in many flight schools today. I once had an opportunity to “fly” a commercial simulator, used to train airline pilots. They are full-motion exact replicas of the actual flight deck with incredible 180 degree views of the actual terrain you are simulating flying over. It’s fun and educational. But I’m afraid there’s nothing like pushing the plane out of the hangar, firing up the engine and watching the ground and your cares fall away. I guess I’m spoiled. I haven’t given up the hope of getting back in the cockpit someday. Everyone has to have a dream.
