Amazing, I recognize many of your names and fondly recall other names mentioned in this thread.

Thanks for the trip down Alzheimer's lane!

Kelton's still down in C'Ville plugging away on stuff with John Taylor.

BB hasn't been at Microsoft for a few years now. After Microsoft he did a short stint at SOE in Austin, then some stuff with an outfit in Toronto and now he's back in TX.

He own's two planes at last count. A Luscombe, which is really fun to fly, and a Bellanca which I have never seen in person, let alone had a chance to right-seat.

BB wrote a neat piece about getting his Bellanca. You can read it here.

Wow, as has been mentioned before..alot of names I remember.   Damn we're all a bunch of old farts now, lol.

I don't remember what camp I started out in, really never got too "into it" until I joined the musketeers.  I do remember Airmigan was my idol.  Everyone else was worried about alt, speed, getting the advantage....he just flew in and made stuff blow up, lol.

The Muskies should have followed BB's advice and renamed ourselves "The Flying Keg Party".   Some of the best times I've ever had online have been with B-Man, VF, Rapier, Bushwacker, Buck, et all. (and Ghost Rider, wherever he vanished to).

Good memories, thanks for this thread :)

I wouldn't know about that B... I'm married now so I'll have to ask the wife for my testicles back to test the magnet out. ;)

GR played in Half Time for a bit in '95. I remember him because he said he had quit for a while, and was from St Louis, where I lived at the time. I think he quit again soon after.

Twist is some high muckity muck at Sony Online these days. Dunno what happened to Cal after Cornered Rat had their layoffs a year or so back. I'd assume Fencer is still married and living in Indiana, although I haven't heard from, or about, him in ages.

Well for what it is worth

Snivly Dweeb (6112) Genie AW Dos ,I was one of those who got in from the first box set.

Alas (sorry BB) I lost all of my AW info on various HD's  which I seem not able to part with. (one of these days...)

I sucked then and for quite a few years thereafter thought I did have my moments......and I can still find the Visa receipts :eek:

I was curious what happened to AW ,I left finally at the end of the Gamestorm era , only to find out that EA had pulled the plug a few months later.

Nice to see that a lot of you are still kicking around, and it does seem like the rooks text messages seem awfully like B-land chatter.

Still nice of HT and Pyro to provide us with this ,Thanks and
Nice job Gents!:aok

Everyone that had a GEnie number in Air Warrior, and that now plays Aces High should form a squad called the Old Geezers, or OG's for short. :)
