lol.

You mean the guy at the 94 con that was in a drunken stupor passed out in front of his monitor and we put your plane in a spin and yelled Rash Rash you're spinning. :>

That ranked right up there that night along with using the bug to blow unsuspecting people up on the runway in 870 arena. But I think you were passed out for that

You were a great wingman in Aland I will say with that 51 ,Rash ;-)

Even though we never intentionaly hooked up I knew your moves well enough I could count on you in a fight with a zillon Bz. My buddy:)  You know how those Bz were with their addiction for numbers ;-)

Yes HR, I remember being rudely awakened from a nice nap at some hour in the early morning at the 94con.   I never like taking my pony above 15k anyway, just for that reason.

I could always count on you and someone like Sly being in the middle of a Bz horde. Made it easy for me to clean a few off your tails, while sipping my favorite beverage.

Flew for Az from about 96 until AW was replaced by AWII.  Flew with the Flaming Chickens as ME21.  I can remember taking a 13-man B-17 to Cz Spit Factory and passing a MuffDivers fully crewed B17 heading to our factory.  What was it, at least a 2 or 3 hour trip from the base to the target and back?  Man those were the days!

Damn....gratified to see the Stag made it outta puberty.

Man - what a great list of names.

Got me all nostalgic, and now I want to fly.

blesk here - have been, though anymore just "b" works pretty good. Even have buds in meatspace that call me that, which sort of makes me feel like I'm in an episode of Mayberry RFD, but I suppose that's better than feeling I'm an extra in a turkish bath movie.

So - started AW in '90 after returning from Germany - GEnie days, and I had a MacPlus with a Blackbox modem. I had reach over and hit a switch on the modem to connect, and it used to give me a shock if I touched it wrong. The priest came, but the excorscism didn't work, so between not really being able to deal with the b&w graphics on the 4"x4" screen (I know, I know it was bigger than that, but sheesh) - I gave up. No, I couldn't even guess what my tail number was, but I suspect it would have been filled with zeros.

But then, joy of joys, a couple years later I got a pc - and one with graphics good enough to give AW a go again. One of the first things I did was seek out AW (again) and sure enough, there it was, living on Compuserve. It wasn't all that long afterwards that it migrated to AOL, and though I'm norwegian I'm not THAT stupid, so moved where the flyin' was cheaper.

Started in FR, and stayed in FR, except when Stimp demanded we go fly RR because he was getting motion sick from spinning so much.  

Miss the old days with the Sheps - and the lot of you. sure was good fun.

Really, it really is good to see the faces from days gone by.    

I've spent some time in AH - and think I'll have to crank up the account again. I've a decent box to fly with now, and though I'll suck, I'm sure it'd be fun again. Kinda left when Buzz died - don't know why - just did. But, was fun to see old faces before, and I bet it'll be just as fun now.

Might be riding up to Con with Tex, so I can but say this; Beware the Geiss.

Rash you goob, want a ride down to the AH con? Figure you'll be a cheap date and just pass out on the floor again. Still have a couple of those all DFA posts hanging around on the hard drive.

Back in Tulsa btw.

They forgot you when they came out with Jack of all trades.  Master of them all ;-)
