Significant sim time is always worth mentioning, just don't confuse it with flight time. Anything that makes you more interesting than the average applicant is a bonus...warbirds, firefighting, competetive athlete, etc, etc. More time spent talking about non-aviation topics means less opportunity to step on your crank.
