Greetings
« on: June 04, 2008, 12:01:35 PM »
I just wanted to post and say hello.  I have recently downloaded AH and am excited to begin playing.  I have not played this genre of game for almost a decade, since the Air Warrior days (Flew as ->OD with the Widowmakers in the relaxed realism arena's).  I am looking forward to getting my new stick and throttle so I can get up in the virtual air again and hopefully enjoy the same type of camaraderie that was IMO the best part of the Air Warrior Days.  <<S>> to you all.

It shall begin again.....  I am a bit worried when I think back to AW and all the time I spent on it, the urge has never left me though.  My poor G/F is going to be lonely for a while.  I just bought a new computer specifically so I could play this game, although I couldn't tell her that.

I guess that depends on your perspective.  If I remember the timeline correctly we flew as the WM's on AOL, then moved to Gamestorm, when AOL dropped AW another squad (who had formed on AOL after we left)calling themselves the WM's moved to Gamestorm.  Since they obviously formed on AOL after we left I would have to say the "REAL" Widowmakers. We flew as a squad for about 5 or 6 years, so that is real enough I think.

Well, I flew with both. I believe the WM's that are here hail from the later (fake) group. Still good guys tho. :salute

I think Lute and teufl might for a little while had flown in the original squad - but i didn't get involved til Gamestorm - on AOL i was in Black Widows squad -which was an offshoot of the WM's - OHIO,GONZO, and some other whacko's who left WM's started it I think -
There are about 5 guys stil on the WM squad now that have flown since aol AW - I flew RR in both aol and Gamestorm - i remember you OD
And contrary to NB's statement - we are complete arses in the WM's and mostly are cranky old men..

yeah ohio, gonzo, crzyhrse, darkhrse, teufl, and a few others have been on but most are gone. quite a few flew as JB's back in 2002-2003, there's others I forgot the names of.

when I think it was Lute came to AH they left the JB's and re-started the WM's (early to mid 2003 IIRC).

I'm looking forward to hopefully finding some old faces who have missed shooting me to pieces.  As far as being a cranky old man, I proudly consider myself one.  When I started the WM Squad that was the kind of person I enjoyed flying with, skill and scoring were always secondary to not being an annoying jerk.  As always, there were exceptions.

Well, plenty of folks here find that being an annoying jerk takes a backseat to NOTHING! :devil
