I've been curious about this.
Also, does anyone one have screen shots of AH when it first came out? Planes, fields, towns, etc. Would you be willing to post side-by-side pictures of these things with what is current? Of these first planes, which one do we have that is still in that "current state" that really would benefit from a remodel? Or have they all be updated at one point? I also read in a thread that you had to run from the tower to your plane in the past. Was this true? Imagine vulches at that point, if they happened as often as they do now...

If it is true, did shooting the parked plane before the pilot got to it result in a death or was the plane invulnerable till the pilot made it to it?
I'd really like to see some screen shots of what AH looked like when it first came out. Aces High History.
