Because life without Rip is an endless, joyless, carpetless void.

Yeah but why is RIP leaving?

Rip has his reasons. Rip built this squad and it just isn't the same without his big bald head out front.

Thanks for all the salutes and squad offers. VMF-323 has been a great squad for all of us.

guys, hate to see such a classy group going down the tube.

Hopefully you guys will hang around in squad ops for a bit yet.

As one of the original members of VMF 323, and Aces High, I have finally decided to sign off and leave Aces High.

Although I was quite active for quite a long time, I haven't been on much at all during the last part of this year. I frankly remained a subscriber waiting for the release of Aces High II, and the fact that when it was released I was still a member of the famed VMF 323. Unfortunately, I have become bored with the Aces High that I once loved so much. As Hitech has said it appears that Aces High II will essentially have the same basic game modelling system, and so I have decided not to hang on any more.

I've been inactive for so many months that most of you have probably never heard of me, but as one of the original members from day one, of both Aces High and VMF 323, I can say that I am quite proud of how Aces High has developed. I remember when the P51 and the Spitfire were just about the only planes, and I've watched the game develop month by month into the excellent flight sim game that it is.

Unfortunately it has become boring for me with no real ground war, and no real historically oriented purpose for an air force. I loved this game so much that listing what I don't like at this point would not be productive.

I learned more about online fliying from Ripsnort and VMF 323 than in any other on or offline game anywhere. I will always be proud to have been a member of such a fine squad.

I wish all of you the very best, and I hope Aces High II exceeds your expectations.

Damm now I gotta change my sig & aviatar, to all my friends from 323rd, it's been a hell of a ride and a privilege to have been part of the Rattlers. One tough act to follow.

guys, had many a fun fight with you. One that i clearly remember was when i chased snafu's 109, and got bounced by 4 or 5 of your squad, the subsequent 3 or so minute gangbang i received left me walking funny for weeks.

Lol Furball, I remember that one, I was dragging you (Oh alright I was running like a girlie). Low on fuel and ammo when Rips voice came over Vox that he was on his way with "A few friends", Cav, Curval & swoop if I remember right, you never stood a chance but put on an awesome show against impossible odds Furball

I used to liek going on his missions... soome ended up so funny , like oone of his NOE missions and we ended up in A HO noe mission heading to where we were taking off from . we were both heading to atack each others base and ran head on with them.. And of course his 20 C47 base attack i was on a few of those. and the time we were camping in pnzers at a spawn point he parks gv next to me and asks to watch it while he goes and eats.., Will miss those. take care Rip

I'm keeping my avatar. Grandfather was in the VMF-323, ya know.

Sad that we had to disband. Flying with Rip and Curv and all you guys was fun as hell. Now I gotta look for another squad.

Awww man I was thinking of coming back to AH and now I've got no home to return to.

to all my brothers in the 323. You guys taught me how to land a hog in one piece. And how to trap on a carrier first try. And just about everything else too.

I had alot of good times, from the MA, to the squad duels and TOD. It was great being part of a well organized, trained and close squad.

Good luck and farewell (until AH2)
