Hello and a introduction

Hello.
First of all I would like to thank you for all the warm welcome i received lastnight when I asked to join 617 Dambusters Sqdn, it was a pleasure of be part of what seem a great bunch of pilots who were warm, friendly and at times on teamspeak quite amusing.
Alittle about myself:
I am 35 years of age, and living in Oxfordshire, England. I have a huge interest in aviation spreading from modern day to ww2 and also WW1. Anything with wings and rotors interest me. I merely got into aviation through my father who was a Army Air Corp helicopter pilot flying Scouts (Wasps Navy version) back in the 70s and early 80s. I wanted to follow his career but due to a hearing disability is was not to be. So I have worked with computers for the last 8 years.
Not to be done by what the Armed Forces or the CAA failing me on medical, I still managed to pass my gliding licence about 9 years ago which i enjoyed alot.
About how i got into Flightsims, 8 years ago I started playing a online flight sim called Warbirds, by the time I joined the people running it then broke away to start their own sim which many of you know and heard of called Aces High. In my time flying Warbirds I belonged to a squad funny enough called 617 Dambusters Sqdn, we flew under a command wing called Tangmere Wing consisting of 249 Sqdn, 633 Sqdn. I flew B17's, B24's and also B25's. It was a great joy to fly with a bunch of guys in close formation flying deep into enemy lines and dropping bombs on ports, airfields and factories, though nothing like the RDP strategy we have in WW2Online.
I started playing WW2Online back in 2001, taking part in beta and getting to know the original crew Mo, Doc etc. Since then and over the last few years I have been in and out of WW2O trying the naval side which I still enjoy and the army life. I decided to give the Air Force another go and with my new computer and monitor I found it much more pleasurable and thus to say I decided to look around for a squad for which I can call home.
I am sure in my stay I will learn a great deal from you guys brushing up on my technique and flying.
Thanks again and see you above the clouds!
