Goth
Helm
Boxboy28
Melkor
AX (everyone to here taught me everything as I started in Nazgul 5 years ago)
OddCAF (keeping each other alive taught good wingman basics)
Birdo (also taught me some stuff over the years when we winged together)
SkyRock (only classy person I've yet to duel in the DA, and I remember the #'s)

That's it for me, I still suck.

Nice thread Rock

I am going to show my AH age here

My very first mentor was Vorc. We flew together in the "AirWolves". He left the squad and went to the AK's I think. I dunno if he quit or has a different name now. He helped me through the first few critical weeks.

I also learned alot from wBash. Also in the AirWolves. He was the best stick in our squad and was alot of fun. I think of him often while in game. I dunno if he plays anymore either.

Years down the line when I discoverd dueling A different group of players influenced me. Some of them helped me and some of them didnt. They all had an effect on me though.....

WldThing
Fester
Leviathn
Urchin
Sirloin
Shane
BigMax

I know there are others. Please forgive me if I left anyone out. These are players who were vetran ACM guys when I was just learning. I looked up to all of them. There is a huge group of DA and TA people now a days that I like and respect. The current players I view more as peers. These guys were my first taste of it though and they will always be "Different" to me because of that.

Mentors? you mean there are mentors here?

actually I used my experience in Airwarrior as a basis here.

After taking a few flights offline and going into a flat spin in a ponya bunch of times I practiceds offline till I stopped doing flatspins.
Then I came online

decided to take up a YAK for my first flight inasmuch as it was my favorite ride in AW
but it doesnt fly the same.
Still got two kills my first flight.

Dont think I had another kill for several days.

Then switched to the FM2 which I was able to fly like I flew the YAK in AW and did etter. Built myself up from there.

I consider everyone who has evr killed me that wasnt a cherry pick a bit of a mentor As I leanred,and try to continue to learn from each fight.

If I hata pick one single person though. that inadvertantly and unknowingly taught me the most I'd have to say it was JB42 in the 109s

Though SHAWK taught me how to run in a 190

Kermit spent the most time with me in the DA when I was starting out. He not only showed me what was what in regard to ACM he also explained things extremely clearly. A great teacher.

Also worked with Yucca a bit a little later. He helped me fine tune things.

Can forget the Unforgiven. Vegas and the bunch let me tag along for awhile in the beginning. I learned all the ins and outs of AHII with that group!

Thanks guys !

Beemer--taught me to love a game

Rwy--flew our way even tho it held him back.

Toad--Helped anyone who needed it . Straight up as it gets .

Rude--My first true friend in the game .

Slappy--new to the TAS and he came up with a way to honor Oz and he
didn't know him other than he was our friend.

Drex--taught me humility and how to be humble even against the worst .

Zigrat and Cit --cause I wanted to be able to fly like that .

OzKansas--how to recognize true grit .

These guys taught me to fly for fun and the rest will follow .

Lambo and 2cmex did the most for me when I first started, but along the way Creton showed me some great stuff, too...

~~to those 3~~

Jeez, too many folks to name.

Guess the best way to say it, is the guys who ended up becoming the Nomads back in Airwarrior helped set the tone for me. A bunch of 38 dweebs who couldn't get around to taking things seriously at all but were all about fun.

Nomads were probably the AW version of SAPP. Guys from a bunch of different squads flying together once a week in shades to raise cain and have fun.

A few of the originals still around here. +Dizy = Delirium, +Dead =Leviathn, +Tiff=CorkyJr, although i guess I'm the only one flying regularly right now.

Still trying to find those kind of days in here. Thankfully they happen more and more, but that was a heckuva good time back then and helped me understand what mattered in the game, having fun and never taking it so serious as to lose sight of that.

Started with the trainers for me. None in particular, but whenever I was on they'd be more than willing to help. Then I met a guy named Inyo who started me on the way to true "furballing". 90% of my training was done by Bighorn aka bovidea aka phish aka brocolli aka uberdud aka airvent aka airsys aka infensus aka baitbug(I might have forgot one:D ) Nomak took me for a few spankings as well. And finally my squad, the BKs. Any and all of them can take you to the DA and learn ya!

When I read through these I see people at a podium accepting an award...

"I'd like to thank john q fighterace..yadda yadda... and most of all my family for putting up with me.. yadda yadda...oh...and ofcouse god. Thank you very much."
