Do you remember what plane you chose to go up in first? I do, it was a spit 16 and I got vulched by a La-7.

First sortie didn't go too well.

Upped a set of B26s with tatertot and tried to bomb a field with out using the bomb site. I completely missed the field and died horribly to enemy fighters.

190A-5! Barrel rolled my butt into the ground, but that guy on my six never got a shot into my German twister! LOL:D

Not really but I remember the first time I was able to actually land an airplane. This game is a huge challenge and Ive spent untold hours just to gather the meager skills I now have.

I cant remember the last time I watched TV, "oh yeah the SB", but even then I watched it on the TV next to my flight station while playing.

I do remember the first time I landed 2 kills. I was flying B-17s. I think my first sortie in fighters was with P-51s.

Upped a pony D and flew towards a cv task force. Came in high and fast, thought I was invincible, since I was flying the "best" WWII fighter. Saw a bunch of planes below, got concerned about how poor the vision was, hadn't learned how to set views yet, died a guick death from an unseen bogie.

It happened so quickly I was shocked, sat for a few seconds and upped again. Funny I remember the first sortie like it was yesterday, actually happened about 5 yrs ago, have zero recollection of what I did next.

Upped an F4u1D from Griswald, turned south climbing out to about 10k... ran across a lone Cz F6 and went in with him. After about a turn and a half, he had a slight edge and was at my high 6 pointing probably 20 degrees away from me. Then bam, I was dead, shot by a guy not even facing me on my end hehe. Weclome to AW lag lol.

The next run I learned quickly and shot the same guy down in pretty much the same 1 on 1 situation. That was fall of '98.

Hooked ever since.

Rolled a C-hog. After auto take off I pulled back on the stick, stalled, and crashed.

i took a spit mk1 up on the old ah1 pizza map, this was first sortie of my 2 week trial. I shot down an F4u and then after a while went home to land.

SYSTEM: you have landed succesfully

"hey guys, i got a kill and it doesnt show up when i land!!??"

My roomate asked me to keep the stick plane on his monocrhome monitor in the position he had it while he went to the bathroom. I had never seen a mouse before..............
