Hummm...will it be 12 frames running Wednesdays and Weekends?

I thought not...   That's what it will take to get the REAL AW-scenario
feeling...that and DoK getting on your case

Heh!  We need a rerun of Longbow, I say.   The AH scenario player base isn't built up enough yet in its fanaticism -- but my goal is that one day, we can do that.

I know most of the 327th steel talons (my squad) had been on when AW was the only real game in town,so as a squad their are some real long timers.I my self am pretty  new but enjoy and am proud of being involved in one of the few squads that has been around seance most squads where in diapers

Heh..i still remember the original MS flight sim with the floppies.  Little + marked your plane and ....  was the bullets.  Started PC flying on GeNie's original AW, flew Warbirds, then came with HT to AH long ago...

I think i reg'd here in '99 with my old handle, 'SpreadEagle' (I died ALOT), then switched to Warspawn...

since tour 20. no flight sims before.

Tour 40, May '03

Started in March of '01. Before that, I played Red Baron when I was...maybe 12/13??? Not really sure how long ago that was hehe.

As per the percentage of old timers, there are very few guys that are still around from one of my original squads, 418 Hornets. Couple guys that used to be in it still play, Busher, SirLoin, occasionally Furball and Lazer. Generally though, there are very few guys in the overall populations that I know have been around for ages. It's good to get shot down by a familiar handle though instead of some zipcode

Lazer seems to come around during school months, and then ditches us in summer.  Something to do with "real life" and "outside".  We just think he's a jerk.

What is this "real life" and "outside" you speak of?

[mensa180]

No clue, only heard of it from Lazer.

Longbow, or rather Longbutt (because we sat the PC so long) as we called it, was great! I really miss the scenarios from AW, the numbers that would turn out for them was incredible to boot.

I think it's where food comes from.

[SlapShot]

So are you cause or effect? 

Hmmmm ... most likely "cause" ...

[Halo]

Started with earliest Air Warrior.  Late '80s I think.  $5 shareware disk.  On line?  What's that?  Internet?  Huh?  $6 an hour plus $8 an hour local long distance to GEnie, FOURTEEN dollars an hour!  Now $15 a month Aces High plus piggyback on cable.  Such a deal.  Don't fly a lot anymore, but glad to support HiTech's genius and the bulletin board community.
