…your flight simulator folder is 50 GB!

 

…you successfully transfer the aviation-virus to some of your relatives and/or friends.

 

…departure day – you arrive at the airport in the morning although your flight only leaves late in the afternoon.

 

…you are spotting at night and you know the aircraft types just by the pattern of the landing lights.

You video your every flight and then drive friends and family nuts showing them (because you secretly love to re-watch them yourself)
