Why do you fly?
« on: July 21, 2011, 10:40:31 PM »
I've had a great time playing Aces High the past 6 years. Unfortunatly, next year is the last I'll be able to play as  much as I like, due to college the year after. Makes me wonder, why do we fly, crash, and swim (and yes, even drive)?

I fly for three reasons:

1) My squad and friends
2) to constantly push myself, and last just one second longer when in the thick of it (I'm pretty pleased with myself on that score, I've just recently gotten to the point where people say "good fight man, you're great in that *****")
3) For the thrill of the fight, wondering who will be left in the air after that final merge.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

At first I flew because it was ww2 and warbirds died and I still wanted to play year types of games. Then I wanted to be good with reversals and ACM. the third and final now is to be known around AH community before I will be for to quit when I goto college which is in 2 years :)



Anything else I enjoy flying with my squad in the middle of the day aswell. :) :airplane:

Same answer as always.

I fly because I enjoy it and I fly with people whose company I enjoy and I consider friends.

All nonsense aside I've never been involved in a community who, as a whole, will come together for someone in times of trouble like this one and I'm honored to be a part of it.

I mostly fly for the community. No matter how many times I die, I have more fun with a bunch of fun guys making jokes over vox than flying for good fights or kills.

I also enjoy the great 1v1 fights. The outcome is either you learn something new, or you taught the other guy something new. So, it's a win-win situation  :D

I fly for my name in lights.    :noid

Seriously I fly because Spitfires and their nemisis, any German iron, are the coolest and, IMO, among the most significant aircraft of WWII.

I fly because one day I want to be able to shoot all of you down.

Addiction. It's no good for me, but I can't help it. One day the cold sweats will stop and I'll move on.  ;)

Cause it's as close as a guy with a 45 year old obsession with WW2 aviation can get to flying WW2 birds in combat, at least in his imagination.  Of course getting to do that with other folks who play the game makes a big difference too :)

to bomb your KT when they come out :D

Because you cant really fly WWII planes, much less shoot them down while having fun anywhere else. :cheers:

I fly to shoot the other guy down. And laugh at Grizz. And try to keep Corky's 38 from getting blown to bits for a few seconds longer. Inevitability kinda gets in the way of that one.
