It seems like I hit a 19th year anniversary today. I have posted continuously at least once every 3-5 days for nearly 15 years straight. One more year to see if I make it to 20 years in the same way.

I'll simply celebrate my "21 years and a day" today, alone ... until haircut time.

I just checked. In fact, that was yesterday. That must be why I enjoyed some wine outside of a religious establishment, and when I looked in the mirror, there was clearly no mature supervision in the house.

I would have thought you would have a supply of pisco sour at the ready before and after yesterday.

Just seen: I joined in Feb 2002, so I have a little way to go yet. As an aside, I remember there being an interesting talkboard at Airwise back in those days. Did that just disappear in the end?

I think you\re going to be the first person to go over the 100,000 post mark then. I think I must be approaching the 20 year threshold myself but I certainly haven't been consistent in posting, with quite a few long gaps along the way. Still, it's been a useful resource and I hope I have been able to give a little bit back along the way.

Perhaps a new title for those with 20+ years, like FT Geriatric?

Nah, I'll stick with "Original Member". Even that is a bit of a misnomer as it was given to those who were there in 1998. Before that iteration of FT, there were several of us around and kibitzing all things flying. Even without the fancy interface it has evolved to, it was just as addictive on a grayscale monitor vertically oriented on my Mac LCIII running System 7 with a 28.8 connection. A great ride and so many good people along the way.
