Bruce Williams worked on six versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator during a 15-year career at Microsoft. His experience with the development and design of Microsoft Flight Simulator included consulting with leading aviation organizations and teaching seminars about how to use Microsoft Flight Simulator as a training aid. Bruce grew up in an Air Force family, and he has been a pilot and aviation writer since the early 1970s. He remains an active flight instructor at Galvin Flying Services in Seattle, specializing in technically advanced aircraft, simulator instruction, stall/spin/upset recovery training, and aerobatics. In early 2004, Bruce left Microsoft to devote full time to his consulting company, BruceAir, LLC (www.BruceAir.com), which develops training materials, provides flight training, and offers multimedia presentations on a variety of topics for pilots and flight instructors.
