Watched their vhs tapes in 1992 for my private pilots license. Watched online with my daughter last year for her private pilots license. Absolute legends.

Because of you. I will fly!

A life long dream of mine was to become a pilot. Long story short, I obtained my PPL thanks to MS FS9 and the lessons that Martha and John King provided on that software. Well deserved.

Wow, I started flying at age 16 in 1975, and remeber reading about John & Martha in Flying magazine. Congratulations
