It's time
« on: November 04, 2010, 09:43:21 PM »
I have made the decision to stop playing Aces High.I haven't been putting in any stick time to speak of,and I knew in my heart that the time had come.I'm retired,and the government hasn't seen fit to give us retirees a C.O.L.A.,but the cost of living keeps rising.I could no longer continue to justify several monthly bills,so I had to make the cut, so I could continue to pay the food,medical,insurance,and other bills that have increased.
I would like to say thanks for all the great years of playing Air Warrior and later Aces High,and the friends and squad mates I was fortunate enough to fly with.The Nightmares in Air Warrior and Aces High for a short while.The 475th,the 39th,and my last squadron the 71st R.A.F.They were all a great bunch,and I will always fondly remember them all.I will be losing a great wing man in B2B.He is a wonderful person,and a credit to the game.
I know that through the years I have had my share of arguments with other players.I regret any remarks I may have said,and I apologize to any involved players.I congratulate Hitech and the nice simulation they have created,and I wish them well in their business in the coming years.
Well that is all I have to say.Good luck and best wishes to you all.

I'm sorry to see you go even though I haven't, to my recollection, flown with you or against you. 

My very best wishes for you and your future regardless.   :salute

Ya gotta do what you gotta do. Coming off a long stint of unemployment I totally understand. If the economy ever rebounds and you can, look up AH again!

Sorry to hear IronDog, used to fly against BFD, Nightmare in AW days, were good times.
Hopefully in time things will change and you'll be able to take to the
Skies again.

When you find the time, money or hopefully strike it lucky.

Come back, we will always be here.

                   It's sad to see those that have retired struggling after working hard all thier lives. The government Unions (Taxpayer Funded) still get thier pay increased every year. The private sector hasn't seen pay increases for 5 years and they wonder why no one has money to spend.
       Over 43 million people in America now recieve food stamps. We all need to vote against the Big Bloated US Government.

Sorry to see you go. I am also a federal retiree and a disabled vet. It is hard to live off of what they give us, but remember you have to give yourself an outlet to "escape" from day to day
worries. It's a tough economy for us all, try not to stress much on stuff. Stress only causes health problems. AH is a great outlet to unwind and enjoy the many friends here, as you know.
IMO it's hard to find (if you can) a community such as ours.
Take care, Best of Luck!
