"Hello Eavryone My name is Richard, im from Norway but live in Sweden, First i shall apologise all my typing errors, I speak English very very well, but its my 3rd language so.. Im afraid I write it very poor. Im a new member of your Airline. I have not flown much at Vatsim, For now i have only 1100 online hours on B744, for other Cargo VA, on another network. However, now i discovered Vatsim, and to me it instantly became the obvious choise. So i joined Vatsim, and I saw you wanted hardcore Pilots, so joined this Cargo VA. In reality i have not so much Piloting Experience, (for now) Im in 12 days finished with taking the PPL-A license and have started on the IR-A Teori, who i shall have completed within 15th of May. My B744 is actualy a modefied PMGD, B747-463 MER, with an Realism Mod Installed. (Mod removes 'alt'. 'pause', 'time compr', 'yaw' ect...) Some would say that I have a convoluded perspective on my hobby (some would call it "on my life" lol) Im obsessed with Realism and im obsessed with longhauls, and loves to fly, fly and fly the B744, sometimes 18 000nm pr weekend. Obsessed with longhauls is both good and bad, It takes many many hours, but is for sure a good feeling when finaly contacting the Approach controller... Obsessed with realism is hard to define, (somone would call it a disease lol) it can for sure have alot of consecvenses, as Cargo has to fly 24/7, meaning that on Christmas Eve, somone must fly the Cargo... With a Wife that loves Longhauls and Realism to, it works out, But when the real life work must be reshaduled as a Tsunami just stroke in Indochina, it takes a very nice and understanding employer.. Flying loonghauls with realism, is my hobby, from the Planning, Paper work, Procedures, Waiting, Departing, Flying, Landing, Paperwork aigan... a few hours of sleep, up at night, 0300 for the shaduled flight... and then it all over aigan... And thats my insane hobby (life)... So here i am, ready to fly for your VA. Best regards Richard Ronhovde"
