Vilkas flies in the TA quite often and is a model AH citizen while there.  Plus he is a very likable fellow.   Vilkas,  happy New Year.

Vilkas is one of my favorite people, in or out of the game. He brings great class and dignity to the game.

Salute and have a happy new year!

the germans made him gun the 37 mm antiacraft gun, 13 to 14yr olds were manned by the younger kids, while the 88s were for the 18yrolds


I have read about that .

Glad he didn't grow up to soon to be shiped off to the Russian front or what not .

Happy New Year

All.

I have flown with Vilkas in the TA, as well as been shot down by his very accurate field gunning in the MA.  He is a good mate of Zud, a squadmate of mine, and all I have heard about him is all good.  A class act and a gentleman.

Salute Vilkas.

I believe VILKAS was one of my first squaddies, though after being up all night I can't remember my leg.

Wow.. he beats Rowdy1 our oldest squadie who is 70.

Vilkas has always been a great sport and a gentlemen in my book. I hope this year is one of many more he enjoys with good health.
