Finally moved AH1 from the old comp to the new. Got myself wandering through the films and found one of my son and I out in 38s. As some of you know I lost my son in August 2005 in a car wreck.

He was the first 38 fan in the family as he flew it in AW when you couldn't get me out of a Spit

Anyway, I kinda liked the look of this from November 2003. Following my boy out on the prowl in a couple of P38Ls. Kinda gloomy under those clouds.

He was too good though. He never could auger like the old man

Dan,
Thanks for sharing brother. I know things like that have to evoke very strong emotions.

Wow - we had beaches back then instead of the saw-tooth coastlines of AHII? I never realized it until I saw this pic.
I do remember flying in IFR type conditions and using the radar to drop down out of the clouds on the unsuspecting red dots - that was kinda cool.
I remember one day when HT or someone was fooling around with cloud settings and the whole MA was socked in for awhile - you could hear other vehicles but couldn't see them.

That is a cool pic.

Just noticed I have the AH114 installer on this box. Now if only I could get my AH1 box to boot up, where all my stuff now lies.

Aye, respects ... Hopefully he's in a place with a bluer sky and greener grass.

Nice picture guppy thanks for sharing. I remember those clouds in ah1 I had so much fun chasing planes into them and getting roped in them I was such a noob.
