Welcome to the forums. I think you just beat the world record for the longest time between registering and making the first post, took you only 12 years  :rofl.


Nice pics. I found this pic you took in your "my pics" link on your sig. Would you happen to have a larger version of it for a wallpaper?


Thanks

Heya yeager, PJK!  Long time no see.  :)

Machfly - Well, I hung out in the O-club for a few years before I ran out of time to keep up with 2 BBS's.  With the kids mostly grown now (3 our 4 out of the house!  woot!)  I find that for a little while, at least, I have some more free time.

As far as that pic goes, 1600 big enough?



Its the largest online version I've got.  It's not that great of a pic except for the somewhat unique nature of the fire.

I believe I have seen you flying Rooks unless of course it was an optical delusion.

Heh, colmbo.  Don't think I can take it much further down, since you're already here.  :p

HL117 - I've only been online once, that was late last night, PST, and I was flying.... Knight?  I think?  Whatever the system defaulted me to.  Whatever it was, I know it wasn't rook.

As for what plane?  I'm a pink bunny slipper wearing pretty pony driver.  in the ancestral sim I am a near life-time member of the 352nd FG.  We don't have a presence here, but I'm not CO material, so I'm not sure I'm gonna start one yet.



We'll see.

That's great! Thanks.

I wanted it because of the fire, you don't see too many pictures like that.

Yup hes not the only one who made that a desktop and shoved it into a saved folder. Great pics. B-25 and German Iron stand out too me the most. Way the mic shadows the pilots face seems as if hes saying "AHHHH" while rolling that Bearcat heh
