I have been witness to this type of comradery in this squad many times before.

It is only ONE of the many reasons I still love being a BOP!

Great bunch of guys!! :rock

Wouldn't trade em for the world. 

However I may consider a even swap for one of the elusive" shiney angora sheep." ( a man has needs ya know)



  :salute WT!

:salute WT.

But looking at the picture... You sure the toilet didn't just overflow.   :D


actually diver fell victim to hurricane ike. he lost a huge part of his roof and the damage to his ceiling in his house was due to the roof being gone, his wife is pregnant and he needs to get things done fast. she is due in a couple of months. diver just so happens to live where ike hit the hardest, all things concidered it could have been a hell of alot worse.we all know how slow insurance companies are and i tell u this, i'm proud of WT and his crew that are willing to go and help a friend in need. this is what friends do for each other. even if u did meet over the intardnet game. aces is NOT just a game but a community.

<<S>> wt!
<<S>> diver. glad you and your wife are safe and all things concidered....your house is replaceable. your not! glad ur still here with us!

WTG WT and your crew <S>.  WTG Ranger for bringing it all to our attention.  Yes this is how our squad has been for years for one of ours in need.  Heck Ranger got stabbed in the forehead with a knife while trying to help the poor dumb nitwit.  You may not like us in the game because of our affiliations but we do have an honor-bound desire to help our friends in need.  Most of us started out in the AirWarrior community and it was indeed a tighter nit community where you might hate some guy on the other side but if he was in need, you chipped in all your could.

All the Best...

Yes, I read that.  Just trying to add a little levity to a woeful situation.  Didn't mean to offend anyone.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Thanks for sharing the story, USRanger  :salute  WT666

be sure to tell them to remove all the wet insulation, wet sheetrock etc...maybe even get a portable kerosene/fuel oil forced air heater to dry out the house..and then get a local IAQ ( Indoor Air Quality ) company or HVAC / AC company to come in and use an Ozone Generator to kill all left over mold / mildew etc ( both in the conditioned area and in the attic )..... before Diver8Up and wife move back in the house......
If they are living in the house, tell them to if possible get a room for a day / evening,  so you can sanitize the residence........

just a few tips........

"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC
