  My grandfather was a 109 field mechanic throughout the war. I have 2 uncles who died fighting in North Africa as 109 pilots. One of them was in my grandfathers unit when he was killed.

Other interesting things about yourself.

AH is my first flight sim, since I have started playing Falcon 4.0 as well. I learned to fly, fight and die here though and it is this community that keeps my here. I fly mostly the La-5FN because it was the easist to fly when I started. I also scored my first kill in it against Wardog. My desire to fly with a better organized group led me to fly Knights after Tour1 and there I met some of the greatest group of guys I have ever flown with. I flew Knights until almost the end when I joined the 129. Since coming to the 129 I have become a better than average pilot in the La-5 thanks to learning from Leonid, botwa and many of the others who are there. I have also started to learn how to speak russian   We now all fly knight and strive to inspire terror in the hearts of those who see us coming. Beware the formation of La-5FN coming for YOU!

CREAMO. Uh, this is a long story..:0) I went to a friends party outta town way back in high school, and heard this story. Apparently this guy at the party named Gary was on a school club outing where they all camped out. Being young, one of the guys suggested they play “Creamo”. Gary asked what it is and they tell him everyone throws $5 bucks in a hat. Then they shut off the lights and the first one to …errr..spank Frank, ala beat Pete…you know complete doing the 5 knuckle shuffle on the piss pump yells “Creamo!” and wins all the money. So they shut off the lights and the guys are slapping their legs, carrying on and what not. Finally, Gary yells, “Creamo!” They turn the lights on and of course there are 10 fully clothed guys howling with laughter and poor Gary holding his trout. Well I thought that was god awful funny and years later when I got a new job in Chicago told the story at work. After awhile, they retold it and retold it, finally screwing it up so I was the victim, not Gary. The capper was when this flight attendant came into our maintenance office and said, “Ohhh, you must be Creamo!” It stuck ever since. What the hell…..:0)
