Air Warrior
« on: August 05, 2009, 02:26:20 PM »



Murderers Row of the Fubar: GE, Snail, JJ, and Hi-Tech
..done during Shaky Sticks Battle over Germany scenario when we were in Wulfs,
..it was cool in that we had to earn our 262 rides and it took awhile to do so.


Click 'Fly' ..the wulf takin off ..and you best pack a lunch and bring friends :)


C-land HQ had its very own flavor :)


We *all* saw this one a LOT :)


Sly has been Shot Down an Subby says a zeke is INC!!


The memoriabilia that piled up in my 'office' as I got 'into' Air Warrior :)


My 'office' when I began .. the magic happened there, from DOS to Windows, kicking and screaming all the way.


ahh .. the names .. long forgotten since the bolt of lightning that was EA scattered us to the 4 winds.

I hurt myself now an then. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Long time GE/Frank...  y'old enema you  :devil

Still have that beautiful original you did for me hanging on my wall at work.  Along with a P51 print and a FW190 schematic (The 51 is visible - lower right, the FW is on the side wall not in the photo).  And if you look carefully on the left, you can see the inkjet'd version of BB standing in front of his ride.

I don't "fly" anymore, but I've got about 10 pieces of aviation art in my office in addition to models I built of an ME109, P38, and F4U.  And you'll be glad to know that your paintings are more prominently displayed than my Trudgian or even my Robert Taylor  :aok

-sigh- 1527 .. Stil .. Dan .. dood.

You know I think I learned more about air combat fighting you than any other single person in the world.
I know it seemed pretty hopeless when you would land what .. 15 GE kills in yer spit 9
.. because I kept comin up, knowing you were there waiting,
.. I learned.
Slowly.
Painfully.
As did we all.

It was my honor to be able to do that painting for you and the Musketeers.
You guys were *lethal* .. I remember the C-land channel squawking:
'Muskies over C-1!! Don't Go There!!'
The Hunt was ON!! .. I'd get with Krazy Kat or Hoppy or Pho .. even the dreaded Mullah,
..and we'd try to cut one of yas down on the way back to A-Land,
..end up shot down more often than not :)

Very good times :)

You used to be able to find the client version by clicking on the sheep and they'd "BAHHHH".

I spent many hours and dollars  :O when it was on GEnie. I started out as BulletMagnet then later changed my handle to Maverick when I joined the 13th TAS. I have friends that I know and talk to to this day from those old days back in 93 / 94. I lost a lot of sleep trying to land multi kill missions. Problem was I just kinda never wanted to stop fighting once I had those kills. It was great fun flying nap of the earth missions to get the  carrier when folks were trying to up there. I still remember the screams when we shut down one side by killing all of their fields.  :lol
