Doesn't that title sound exciting.  The flight sure wasn't.  The terrain is barren and boring, hence the name Death Valley. Grin  No offense if you are from the valley.... Grin  The best part about the flight was that I was doing it in a Porter.... Grin

I think people that don't understand our addictions are crazy.  Us simmers are just fine, it is everyone else that is nuts... Grin

If it is your money that you earned, then you should be able to spend it anyway you want.  For example, I will ask my wife (because we all know who is in charge of the accounts... right men?)  are the bills paid.  "Yes" she says, then I say ,"Alright I am going to treat myself to a payware..."  She thinks I am crazy to, but I don't care, I am a flight sim addict and proud of it....

Yeah, but my parents are sort of communist...regulate all my spendings...plus I have an iPod mini to pay for as well as a nano-reef aquarium(if you ever need to spend loads of money, get a nano-reef).  Someday... Roll Eyes

Perhaps once I get a debit card or the like it will be the day...mind you it takes a very very special plane to make me consider buying it... Wink

I know all about reefs.  I've worked for one of the largest saltwater fish stores in our state for over 8 years.  You'd be suprised to know how much that expensive nanocube cost for us to set up.  Under $250 fully stocked as a reef. Wink

Well, equipment cost about $200.  That's heater, live rock, etc..  All I have now regarding life is one mushroom, 5 cerith snails and 5 blue legged hermits.  I also just got a green star polyp frag.  And I'm getting a royal gramma(gramma loreto) tonight! 8)

The Battle of Balaclava, Crimean war. Charge of the light brigade, into the valley of death rode the six hundred etc etc.

Ia Drang was not the original valley of death. They just tacked the title on their to make it more dramatic.

Well, I don't blame them. The french army was masscared there, over 4000 North Vietmanese Army soldiers died there, and our 7th Calvary was nearly masscared there. (If they were masscared there, then history would trully repeat it self, except Lt.Col. Moore would've been the Custard.

It looks "photo real" because it is so bare, no out of place scenery or poorly modeled buildings to bugger it up Grin
