My thinking as well.  Todd was just a kid back in the Airwarrior days.  Now he's got em, which is tiring in itself :)

Yeah, just to put that into perspective - when I started playing Air Warrior, I was 22, dating my future wife, and finishing up a double major undergraduate degree.  I'm now almost 38, married 12 years, with three kids (ages 4, 6, and 9), and gainfully employed.

Just typing that out made me feel tired and old.

I loved the heck out of D2.  I'll probably check out D3 if my computer can handle it.  That's a big "if" though.

Well from what I hear it is still quite a ways out.

Levi sucked.  Drexx sucked.  The real skill in the BKs belonged to Hub.

ROFLOL Furby, you weren't old enough to even know the power of Leviathan and his skill in first the 38 and the ultimate master of the spit.  And you never even wanted to bump into him with his wingy here in AH (Jaxxo).  Not that I'm saying anything about HUB, as I respect and miss old HUB a lot, but he didn't have the power of, "The Dead Man Flying". :aok

All the Best...

When we (The Nomads) started playing in Full Real in AW, +Dead and +Jase seemed to take turnfighting the 38 to a new level.  BigT, Subby, then BigR, and a few others that I'm forgetting who flew the 38 in FR were very, very good.  But the way +Dead and +Jase turned in FR (which as an aside, I remember as being much more difficult than our current AH realism) was like perfection.

Of course the 'vets' in FR claimed +Dead and +Jase were cheating too :)

If Leviathn is smart which I know he is, then he will never fly under that name again.  It is immortalized, and there is nothing he can ever do again to touch a flame to the reputation he has built since he quit.

Best bet is to start a new Aces High character, which I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already.  :airplane:

There was a Levi flying about the other night. Someone asked if he was that Levi to which there was no response.

He wasn't.

I appreciate the flattering comments from everyone.  What a blast from the past (SF, Betty, Drano, +mir).  Hey, all!

 I still remember my first meeting with Lev,he was in a 262 and I was the noob in a 51. Lev landed and someone said what Lev only 4 kills?might have been Jaxxo. Then Lev said "ya that last 51 was no noob he put up a great fight so I let him RTB". I'd used all my ammo,couldnt shoot then either,and was almost out of fuel when the 262 banked away and went to land.

Now Furby, you know that I also liked you so what does that tell ya?  I look for substance and not just pizazz!  I've talked to HUB a number of times over the years and he's a good dude!  It's even better that he is a homey from not far from me in Indiana.  Actually, both of them are great guys and I'm sorry that you were not around to fly in AW.  I don't think that Levi or Hub or Jaxxo, still play but I feel that it's our loss as a community.  I think that you Furby should have continued to play as I always thought that you would have grown to become one of the best and years from now, people would be talking about you like we are now talking about them.

All the Best...

Dodger is by far a recognizable F6F pilot.
