Yeah, it's hard to believe and I remember it like yesterday coming to the beta from AH3. It's been a long ride, well done HTC!

Its funny how little I knew about WW2 air combat when I started this game, even playing other games for a long time.
I could identify the different planes like a champ, but all the real complexities of how the planes and weapons were different from each other, I learned here or because of what I learned here.

April 2001 here, and never regretted a single moment or dollar spent!

Got me by a month Pongo ! Great to see your back. I came to AH beta as a bomber pilot in the 91st bomber group. Me and guys i cant remember exept one guy call sign sunchaser were using the arena to tune up for the anticipated online play of a game called b 17 2. Well b17 2 became a complete bust and I really took to flying fighters. I cut my teeth on the spit 9 like everyone else an8d was hooked into the game.

The 91st faded away guys gravitated to IL2 while I stayed for the most part. most of 2000 I remained in the 91st, I then formed the 78th FG for a while all the until like Feb of 01. I then hooked up with a bunch of chaps in the 56th FG maybe you remember them. Most of the guys have gone names like Sancho Frenchy and Ammo. I hope they make it back I still keep in touch with ammo via facebook. Nomde has been CO for the last 6 years i think.

Real life (making and raising kids, work stuff) and just game burnout would keep me off for months at a time.
The longest I have been gone was like an 8 month stretch but still kept paying the gas for Dale's RV8.

I too remember paying the 29.95 a month. For the most part this is my little escape from reality.

once every so often, i get in about 3-4 missions per week

Mostly late evening euro hours.

Then again, today my TrackIR5 arrived so my flight time may increase

I started AcesHigh a week or two before AW died so I guess I "technically" started in beta during tour 11.

I really HATED AcesHigh when I first tried it and quit flying a few months.

Picked it up again later in 2002, ran across some of my squaddies from AirWarrior, and have flown ever since.

Time does indeed fly by.

HiTech, does it FEEL like 10 years to you?
