I miss Air Warrior, still. So many good times :) Amazing to 'see' some of you still around and glad of it. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Killer New Year. Lately been sucked into Cities: Skylines 2, delved deep into Baldur's Gate 3. Graphics have come a long long way. Still waitin on a decent Holodeck!

When's the next "Topgunz" get together? I was sitting at the table when you guys concocted that excellent scheme. Kept my mouth shut for months on end. It was hard but the laughter made up for it.

Good to "see" you, GE. Merry Xmas.

Heh.  I wasn't there, but I remember the lead-up posts and then the surprise ending.  Glad to see you're still around, GE.

I wish you peace during the holidays old friend. <S>

To have been an Air Warrior was to have been a part, even a very small part, in both flight sim and online gaming history.

I'm good with merely being one of the smallest, not even a foot note.

The most fun I remembered from AW was dueling C47s with door gunners.

Some WII AC art by Gray Eagle from AW, who recently posted a few replies above.

This thread, especially the recent post, for me, is like a breath of oxygen.

Missing several peeps in the thread,.. but a lot I looked up to and inspired me, then having the guts to put a shock collar on me and take me in and allow me to put my finger in the pie. I'm not the best, I learned from the best. I was elated when I saw Brook, TC and a few others were still here, i may have moved on otherwise.

As Dale said to me not long ago, "Damn!!, we've been doing this a LONG time...".
Prolly go to the end.

Throw your hats in the ring, it's still a blast, AW on steroids,...IMO

If I had a a million dollars I'd give it to whoever could find the speech when the Musketeers changed countries in AWdos. Think it was written by Stiletto.

It was the Gettysburg address rewritten. I can only remember the beginning. It started off with:

"Four potatos and seven beers ago..."

What is the exact spelling of your Air Warrior handle, and I'll see if I can find your number.
