Sorry to hear about this ID.  I wish Uncle San had a program for crusty ol' leathernecks to keep flying.  It has been an honor to call you a squad mate and a privilege to have flown with you through the years.  I hope that you can come back when things get better.

Semper Fi,
Obie :salute

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

With any luck you'll be back. Perhaps there is no money at all for recreational activities, but if there is, Cable TV, renting movies etc, Think about the value of AH in terms of dollars per hours of fun. 2 hours of flying per night is 60 hours of fun a month for $15.00. That's 25 cents an hour! There are very few things that are as fun as AH and provide that kind of value for the dollar. Good luck.  :salute

Sorry to see ya leave us Dobey / Irondog. Since you've been in the squad you have brought alot to the squad and the time we've flown together has been truly a treat. We'll miss you in the squad with your humor and wit...If you ever see fit to strap into the virtual cockpit again  want you to know we'll keep your rides polished up and ready to go.

Take care my Friend and don't be a tranger on our BBS.

<S> Sir!!!! :salute

 :salute Dave, you have always been a class act both in the game and on a personal level and I'm sincerely saddened by your decision to leave. Who would have thought that two old-timers like us would ply the virtual sky's together and and find a similar level of camaraderie that we both knew years ago in the service, you as a Marine and me in the Army. It was fun sharing those long ago memories with you. In the game, it was always apparent that you unselfishly worried more about my six than your own everytime we winged. It didn't take me long for me to realize that you're really the same person here as you were 45+ years ago as a grunt Marine in Vietnam. Your character and loyalty always dictated that you put the welfare of others before your own. It amazes me how a silly game like this can bring out the best and worst in people. Well, my friend, it has always brought out the best in you. Let's stay in touch and godspeed to you and your family. :salute

Irondog,

<S> To a great friend and squaddie. I very rarely had the privilage to fly with you due to the time zones, but when I did, it was a guarantee laugh. I appreciate everything you have done for the squad, and my only regret is that I never knew you better.
Heres hoping that things turn around for you, and that you will be able to return to the skies. As Redtop and the other squaddies have said, if you do, your place will always be open in 71 RAF.

<S> and God speed you
