There are times when pedantry is called for, one of which is when people are insinuating there's anything remotely unusual about a pilot playing with some nearby airports on a home flight sim; whether you intended to contribute towards the excessive levels of FUD on here or not.

The Maldives are pretty darn scenic, the landing strip is a tiny island and a 777-rated pilot wouldn't have been flying there with MAS; some of his friends might have been. And even landing somewhere as run-of-the mill as Changi can be made less dull by doing it on the military runway in a storm - it's a lot easier on a sim when you don't have to explain your actions to ATC

And there are enough plane spotters amongst the aviation enthusiast community to suggest that the real aviation industry equivalent of reimplementing of "Hello World" has its fanbase :-)
