My brother in law (the great EvilOWEN ) had an AHI account.  I hated video games.  He eventually convinced me to give it a try.  Being interested in WWII Aircraft as a kid, I figured "pony" or f4u.  

He smartly suggested to take the LA5 out for a ride...  I got vulched just off the runway.  I got pissed and 5 years later....Im still pissed.  I hate video games...LMAO.   I have had some great times since that first flight and met some great people.   <>

Warbirds, 1999 or so. F6F (since it was supposedly forgiving). Got it off the ground, pulled up the gear, tried to turn to the right and immediately spun in.

Took me about a week to figure out how to get to the fight, and another month to kill anything and live to tell about it.

I think my first death at enemy hands was to the Ack Weenies too.

First ever?  No.

First in AH?  No.

What I do remember was my first sortie in AW3.  I was stoked that I could take up a D9, now, so I did.

I promptly HO'd the first guy I came across (cause that was a new feature, too) and was called a "Dora dweeb" on the global channel.

Didnt do that again.

Upped a Tempest in the TA shot at some other noob.  I think I might even have scored some hits?

In the MA upped a P51D with Ironhide and RunNGun.  It was all of our first time and we spent the next half hour tring to get off the runway before we figured out the auto takeoff.  The field we were upping from was under a light attack but our carcasas kept landing all over the field.  I never laughed so hard in my life.  That was back in 2001.

Some time right after the release of SVGA Air Warrior, Oct-Nov '93? Half-Time PAC arena in an F4U.

Actually my first on-line sotrie would have been in Red Baron on The Sierra Network, '91 or '92.

Yes, in AH.  In beta1.  Spit IX vs Spit IX.  I won.  It was the other guy's first sortie too.

I made my first sim sortie so many years ago I have no idea which sim it was, let alone what happened.

Yep.I Augered a 109-G-10 on the Pizza map right into one of those boulders that was in the valleys.

Niki. Taxied into a hanger and died. Taxied into a gun emplacement and crashed. Taxied into a fuel tank and died. Plugged in joystick, took off and stalled. Dead again. Quit for 2 weeks, free period expired, paid my subscription, and RTFM. Did much better then.

My first AH sortie was in AH1 v1.04.

 It was a 2-weel trial period.

 I upped a Bf109F-4, had trouble raising the landing gear, someone's P-51D came and shot me, and I crashed into the field tower.

 I was disheartened, and went back to Fighter Ace.

 
 That was my first encounter with AH.
