LPN did get her RN, her daughter had a baby and LPN took the time off from flying to help raise her granddaughter. Last time I talked to her things were going good.

LPN and I have been in touch for years..since the 1997 CON. We email each other regularly.  I'll link this post for her. She might be happy to read this stuff..  :)

(going to add links for some cool stuff next.)

Check these out... very cool!!  :O 
These were posted on the Big Week Newsgroup yesterday...so not my research but I decided to share.

Tribute to Air Warrior and it's People  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7XzWfwicKY&feature=related

Air Warrior DOS / Classic  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdKJUJXAtUM

Air Warrior Corsair Run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpIhSmUnuIw&feature=related

This brings back memories!!  Watch the text buffer... "A Kill has been Recorded"  :) Didn't notice any macros, but may watch them again in case I missed one   :rofl

For those not familiar with Airwarrior, the small square view screen surrounded by gauges is the cockpit view. On top is the icons-red/green circles and the right side gives the type.

Ya gotta love the fixed mini-sun, clouds, and CVs, unique terrain, and sounds.  Man, has this SIM life come a long way.... but I guess many of us remember our "roots".

The community is a little different...it seems like the AW community was a little more mature, probably because we were paying so much to play.

The flight models and graphics are great and the number of players that each arena can host is much more than AW could handle (Was it "big week" where we were thrilled because we got 50 players in the air in one arena for the first time ever?).

Also, the VoX is pretty handy as is the TrackIr capability.

But the thing that impresses me the most are the scenarios.  They are absolutely awesome. 

Put it all together and it is what I had hoped AW would eventually become. 

It's tough to get your wings back after being away for a while...but if you can participate in a scenario it will blow your mind.

Actually, I recall it (Big Week) being proposed at 1,000 but 500 was maxed and really warpy. Wasn't AW limited to about 200 per arena? Was BW in AW3 or AW2?

Hiya Kim !!!

Life got busy for me too. I stepped down from the MAfia lead a few years back and Taz took over. Mugz then 007Rustyu, and now KAW1000 have held the reigns of power. The squad is still going strong.

I have gotten one son through college (graduating next month) and the second through his first two years. I've moved up into management at my company and Mark4 is still hanging tuff with us. He and and his family are doing great. His wife is thinking of going to the WWII airshow in Reading this year (remember how she use to watch him fly all night?)

Its great hearing from yas !!! I'm glad things are going well for you and yours !

LPN :salute

I remember flying with you in AW (RR Pacific?) and xbrit.

Happy you are well and enjoying the grandmunchkins.

I hope you get into AH.  You are missed very much.  We need more folks like you in the game!

Please fly "knight"...we're always the underdogs & longshots.
