I miss Earl and his stories he would post about his adventures flying big airplanes...

I never knew Earl well, but I surely miss Pipz - his effervescent presence in scenarios, or happy greeting whenever he noticed you were logged in....   :salute

1776, he passed away along time ago when the game was young.
Also Sudz, one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet, and I met him at two cons.
Skuzzy, brain dead along time ago...oh wait! :) Just kidding Skuzzy!  :devil

So many I remember.

Wow! That's a helluva nice tribute. And yes, I remember so many of those names. And was shocked about some...that's what happens when you're away from the game for 10 years I suppose.

Didn't Bob Shaw, author of "Fighter Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering" play Aces High also?  I thought I read where he had some attended AH conventions.

Speaking of AH conventions and great pilots, is Drex still around?

Yes, Bob Shaw attended a couple of conventions.  He was a friend of HiTech's.

Somewhere I got a photo of Mouse and Hitech from either Con 2000 or Con 2002. I'll see if I can dig that up.

I haven't heard from Drex since 2006. I think his email changed.

I know no one cares but I am still alive and well. I have been paying my monthly fees but can't fly until my home is finished. Hurricane Harvey flooded my home and it was a while before the builder could start because of all the homes destroyed down here.

We decided to do a complete remodel so it is going to be awhile.

I shall return!   :salute
