The one Before Me
« on: May 25, 2010, 07:33:09 PM »
When I joined over two years ago, people asked my continuously if I was another player... "Wildcat." Apparently an actual pilot or retired pilot. Recently, I have been asked this by several players, and there has been a rumor floating around AH that I am the previous incarnation's Grandson.
1. Has anyone seen the old Wildcat?
2. Does anyone know where he is?

P.S. I am not the Grandson of any other Wildcat in this game.

Thanks for the help, guys <S>

Wildcat flew well Wildcats off of the Enterprise and was an ACE!! I was in a squad with him about a year ago, if you asked him how he was he said he hurt all over. He had PTSD pretty bad, i hope he is doing better.

PS: he was 92 last time i heard
