Very true!! As a young guy (21) I have played flight sim, video games, etc. However I hate yogurt and I don't eat fish I am a steak and potatoes guy. I don't fly either but, the Bus is more appealing to me because you can hook it up to a laptop and it is just so automated and I love the Joystick. Its just like a video game, except no reset if you crash. The older flight instructors at my flight school have problems with using the GNS430's that one of our A/C have. The younger guys can figure it out a lot quicker. I guess its a generation thing. We grew up on computers.
