tap, tap... is this thing on?
« on: December 07, 2009, 06:33:47 PM »
Ahoy!

Well, I'm plotting a return to the skies of AH soon. I was HO'd by the surgeon and lost some fuselage parts. It put me in a spin for a while, but I pushed forward on the stick, applied some opposite rudder, and recovered control. I'm slowly regaining some altitude and energy, but my hair is returning all white/gray! I'm still about 30 lbs. lighter, but I don't recommend the diet I was on...

I downloaded the latest version and all I can say is "Wow!" The HTC folks are relentless in their continuous improvement of the best online game on the planet.

I hope to shoot many of you down soon! :rofl

That's great news on the recovery Rolex! Hope to see you soon, and white/gray hair is probably better than none. Of course I started turning gray at 18 so I'm biased.   :lol

Hey Rolex!

Your new trimmed down frame is gonna make you alot more manouverable and the grey and white skin is gonna make you hard to spot in the winter terrain.... hmmm now we just need some winter terrain... anyways your gonna have tons of fun again. You deserve it, enjoy it!!

Welcome back
