Greetings...
« on: October 02, 2013, 10:31:11 PM »
Hello there!

I'm practically merged into aviation from my childhood, as my Dad was a pilot, and went trough the whole process of scale-modelling, books, movies, until the advent of the first PCs back in the 80ies (Commodore 64, then Amiga, and so on, with the first flight sims - I had 'em all! - and later internet and flying online...)

After a divorce I was still so crazy to said the word "YES!" for the second time. My actual wife is Brazilian (descendant of Italian Immigrees), and I managed to get her interested about aviation and virtual flying. We both are mainly offline pilots, and this because we really don't have much time for flying online, but we are working to change this.

I had my share of boardgaming (D&D) when I was younger, and I like RPGs.

As I said, I'm interested in aviation. And  about pulp, the 1920-1930 decades are the ones that "catches" me. (Maybe I was born in the wrong time).

I was lurking around here for quite a time, and finally registered.

Here I hope to make new friends and to expand my knowledge.

Cheers.

Hello! I'm pretty new myself. This is a very friendly place. Watch out for "Cubs".

Welcome Capitan!  I am another Pulp fan also but I am sure that you will quickly migrate to other interests here as well.  I recommend Back of Beyond.
