Here in Hawaii, every Friday is traditionally called "Aloha Friday". You could say that is how the residents and visitors alike get into the weekend spirit. I have been with the FAA as an air traffic controller (both tower and TRACON) here in Honolulu for 26 years, and flying multi-engine aircraft between the islands for nearly as long. Now, I would like to see how much time and effort will be needed to design and fabricate a full motion flight simulator.

I was very fortunate to find this website within the last hour, got registered as a member, made an initial contribution to support the great people who are taking their valuable time to upkeep this site, and now posting this introduction.

There is certainly a lot to read about flight simulators here. It is Friday evening at the moment, and the weekend is here. I sure do not want to waste any time, so I better get started! Thank you to everyone. Aloha!
