Thanks Eddie. I have half a mind to try and paint up this model as the Balkan Holidays one. Perhaps if you book yourself a holiday in Plovdiv or Bourgas, you might get to fly on the real thing, given you arein the right part of the country? :lol:

was wondering about in what year do you remember
your first FS experience.
Hello Joe.

Thanks very much for the translation site. Works very well on a couple I tried.

Not really sure, but it must have been the hearly '80s

I remember a very basic IBM PC (no hard disk and 4 colours on the monitor).

Program was on one large floppy and was copy protected!

I was hooked, and I have been simming uninterrupted ever since. (Sad?)

Still have it! Manual cover looks like this.

The actual graphics were much worse than the cover.:lol:

Funny you should mention going on holiday. We are off to Crete tommorrow. Hoo-ray! :dance:

Would love to fly on the 154 to Bulgaria. Sadly they are becoming rarer at EGCC now. Instead Balkan use their A320's. :sad:
