Awesome story AngelHunter, I love how the flag on the chair became a unit tradition.  Thank you so much for your service to the country. 

I think I should be worried, do you only "hunt" regular angels or rkanjl's as well?

rkanjl
Thanks for you kind words. I cant tell you how important it is for our boys still over there to hear that whenever you have the chance to tell them.  :salute

When I was flying, I was more in the pick up and drop off business, didn't do much hunting. But now... well, just watch your 6.  ;)

Of all things, I took my ID back in 97 just so I could intergrate my name in my kill macros.  Had it so long now, that I'm reluctant to change it even though I really like some of the shade names I've come up with over the years.

Hm how did HitM come about?  Well it was born out of frustration.  Those who have crossed my path know I'm not the most accurate with my Gunnery. It was even worse in AirWarrior I couldn't hit anything; unless I got lucky.  Still frustrated a bit with my aim but it's because I'm close enough to scare but it's still hitting air.  So to remind myself then and now I chose something that rhymed with Hit him; HitM (HitEm was already taking.)  

Now dropping bombs I'm fairly good at.

  Just kidding Slash27 Love Guns and Roses music. Was there in Philly at the show (late 80's) when the Cops wouldn't let Axle Rose in because they thought he was just some obnoxious fan. Great show though.  :aok

When I was in middle school, I was one of the bigger kids in my class. The running joke was that it sounded "like thunder" as I walked by due to my huge feet(size 8 back then). Also, if anyone has been to south Louisiana, you know that our accent is rather unusual. People around here pronounce words that end w/ "-er" like its ends with "a".  IE "water" sounds like "wata".  add that to my initials JB  and you have ThundaJB.

Cool!



Had a hard time trying to find painted or colored prosthesis pics but did find this and thought it was interesting.

He's a happy kid :)
