I only flew FR, was there for a year or three. Always Az. I remember when AW Classic died . I remember when AWMV, the final iteration, died.
I left AW about a week before THOSE people pulled the plug. I had to go to a trade show that weekend. It was a quiet night that night, not the usual rowdy barhopping I do at the tradeshows. I remember drinking a LOT, and being VERY dark and illtempered all night. I went to a dozen bars or so.
I've never stopped cursing that company whose name is not spoken, never. I've never even tried another piece of their software either.
The last year or so of AW was sort of strange for me. I'd left the only squad I've ever flown with early in the year, so I wandered about in A land, just flying, and only when the mood struck me. Only at the end did it truly come to me what AW had been for me. The last year was pretty painful for me, especially the end, and I was VERY bitter.
