Welcome aboard Jen. ;)

EHM-1538 Jen:
Thanks everyone!
I'm not too sure I'll be on IVAO anytime soon... somehow the thought of making a mistake doesn't seem quite so bad if I'm making the mistake offline.
I'm afraid that I'd miss a protocol or make some other blunder and be forever known as a dunderhead.
I'm sure it's not quite so extreme, but as you can see, I'm a little apprehensive.
Are most people who fly online understanding of the learning curve and all that?

Bon arrivee' a' EuroHarmony Jen...
As someone who now flies (pretty much) exclusively online, I think my contribution to the thread will be:-
We were all noobs to begin with (even me with my well over 500hrs piloting online on IVAO). I'm sure, like most other folks, you'll take to online flying like a duck to water, especially since IVAO released their new pilot client to the clammering masses.
Given your geographical position, I wouldn't expect there would be much ATC about (in Europe) when you would do the majority of your flying, so the only person you'll need to impress is yourself...
EHM-1123 Dejan:
Hi Jen, welcome aboard!
Tell us something about how you got into FSing, what do U do in life etc...
It's not an everyday news we see female pilots.
I remember online encounter once with a German lady, as well as another one that was ATC at Vienna.
That's all from my experience, I know there are alot somewhere in the skies...:)
Cheers!

It will probably sound odd, but I got into FSing because I was afraid to fly. In the past when I was a commercial passenger I'd be the one that you'd see ordering several gin and tonic's in hopes of either passing out or being so looped that I wouldn't care when it came time for the dreaded landing.
I figured that learning how flying works would make me comfortable with it. Now I love it and in real life I have the opportunity to go to school to get my private pilot, commercial pilot, and instructor licenses through a local college. Now it's just a matter of saving money for books!
For work I drive a 72 passenger bus. It's not quite as much fun as flying, but I still enjoy it.
Thanks!
