After 5 years away I'm back to flight simming, initially with DVA but have transferred to AFV. I'm looking forward to renewing some online friendships and making new ones.

Why was I away? Some will remember I was involved in a bad car crash and have basically been rebuilding myself and my life since then. So as I say I'm really looking forward to it, I look on it as one of the last pieces of the jigsaw.

Welcome back and a speedy recovery Alan!
I have been away for some years as well (though for different reasons) and just recently got back myself.

Very glad to have you back Alan! For you and for afva. Lost my wife to cancer
3 years ago, I travel to Korea often preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and
flying with Air France Virtual has been a blessing also. I pray for your total recovery
in every way. Drop me a line any time. Take care and happy flights!. -Clarence.
