Gonna post again, just because.
Thndr was one of the inventors of the "bish horde" missions, but back then they were always a challenge and always fun. He always made each run unique, something that would always make the enemy say "wtf?" Whether it be taking a base from across the sea on the trinity map, or bombing a port with 30+ b5ns. He made 3 hour bomber runs exciting, something I would look forward to all week. If there was no action, I was always entertained by the humor and hospitality of him and the rest of the 91st. He was the one who turned me on to the B-17, ole' reliable who never quits. I was seriously considering joining the 91st until BAR contacted me about the 20th.
Phil, I will always consider you the best person this game has ever had, and you are without a doubt one of the most well-respected players on here. The comments in this thread are a testament to that. I hope you find happiness in your life and with your music ambitions, and if you need help with anything, shoot me a PM and I will be happy to lend a hand. By the way, I have an "I survived the A9 raid" t-shirt for you
Whether you return or not, thank you for 2 years of great memories
