Since my major is physiology, I have a tendency of physically "abuse" myself in the name of challenging my physical limits -- I have run two marathons, done some distance swimming. I'm waiting for chances to go up in the air (flying), or to go down (scuba diving). So far flying seems to give me much more fun than expected ....

LAST EDITED ON Apr-05-02 AT 03:39AM (EDT)[p]I got the best job in the world. I fly a corporate Super27. i.e.Boeing 727-200 with winglets, upgraded cockpit (EFIS, FMS etc.) and more powerful and 'quieter' engines (JT8D-219) on the pods =12000 lbs additional thrust.
Since I just can't get enough of flying, I fly FS2002!

That is why I am desperately looking for a Super27 for FS 2002!!!
Does anyone know where I could find one?

Ummm...I'm sorry, but you do. And I'm not really making fun. I love the Minnesota accent....seriously. I was on a Northwest flight connecting through MSP to SEA. A lady boarded and sat next to me. We chatted a bit. She had a pretty thick accent. I loved it...totally fell for her accent.

Sorry if you thought I was making fun...I was only having fun. I apologize.
