Those v guys heled me out alot the first year when I was with them, lot guys that were always there to help the new guy. As of recent the 91st aka zombie squad for teaching me how to bomb high alt and actually hit target.

[Changeup]

Rowdy1, MugZ, Dodger, MUZIK, Sunbat...in that order.

Complete DA thrashings for hours?

Dodger, Dedalos, MUZIK, Batfink, Skyrock

[MrKrabs]

Holy crap I actually made someone's list

It amazes me how people from all around the world can get on AH and it seems in no time they are communicating in English with the rest of the arena.  

I can even speak some language!
Kippis!
Czek!

Horrido!

Because English is mandatory in sooooo many countries as a second language or even third but here you just need a C in it and no requirement to learn more. Something I wish a younger me with time on my hands had realized the importance of.

But fortunately everyone in the arena speaks fluent Pipz.  

As to those that helped me, vilkas was there to guide me back in 2007 when I first started as volvo744.

And more recently, everyone who has fun in the game and wants to fight and enjoy it for what it is; a game with a lot of different personalities and direction. The ones who thoroughly annihilate you yet compliment you. More importantly they stick around s you may come back for more, learning their tricks and tells, and using the same plane sometimes to figure out how they make it look so easy.

[The Fugitive]

I think that is what makes this game and community so good. The people who help out whether it is with the training page, here on the boards, in the TA, or in the arenas, far out number the A-holes who seem to enjoy spoiling the fun of others.

Most recently - Kingpin. Big Salute!

This guy has the patience of Job.  He took the time to hear me out and tailor our session to me and my weaknesses.  If he is available, I recommend getting with him for a session if you want to improve.

There are many others that have taken the time to help me along the way starting with =SD= in WBs.  Lilmak from my squad is a great influence and is always receptive to questions and simply just wants to help.  

I want to mention Brooke here.  When we were getting ready for the Pearl Harbor scenario, he went out of his way to help MANY flyers.  Big Salute!

From Air Warrior: Dawn. Her husband was spending too much time flying AW so she took over the game and shot us all down. Totally schooled me flying an A-26 against my spitty and then gave me my first lesson in ACM

From AH:
First and foremost: Morfiend. Can't say enough about this guy.
Agent360's highly instructional videos on flying the K4.
Kingpen (now known as Roick) for inspiring me to fly the FM2.
The guys from the 357th who taught me how to bomb.

I learn a lot from flying against:

Latrobe: Great stick and always ready to offer good suggestions.
Dolby: ditto
2cmex (despite the rage he engenders, he is a challenge).
Bruv, because there's only one Mozart of AH

[Masherbrum]

Goth, Helm, Boxboy24 and OddCAF.   

[BaldEagl]

Everyone I've fought against for the past 18 years.  Some of them (many) helped me find the tower... some of them rather quickly.  Regardless they all provided a learning experience, even though I may have been slow on the uptake.

Everyone who's posted on these boards about BFM, ACM, technique, aerodynamics and fighting in this environment in general.

Final thanks to Kesmai and HTC without whom none of the above would have been possible.

 

[LePaul]

Ripsnort, Daddog, all the Fat Drunk Bastards taught me humor trumped kills everytime.

SHawk taught me how to be great bait.  Man, I've given that guy so many kills!

Over the years, there's always a guy or two you tend to wing with. 

Nuke proved to me he's a lousy wingman.  You'll get killed five times and he'd still be in the channel stirring it up while on autoclimb. LOL 

[JOACH1M]

TnDep, Rowdy1, Zero7, Bruv, Dbone, Drspek, Kaz, Cobrajet, Yarbles, Zack1234, nrshida, Changeup, Krup, Redbull, and Nath...


There is many more, don't feel bad if you aren't on the list because everyone has helped me in many different ways.
