Well, let's see... I have met way over 30 of Finnish AH players, 2 Brits, 2 Germans and 2 Danes so far during these 10+ years.

Correction: After making a list with help of ancient squad topics and con pictures, the number of current and retired Finnish AH pilots I've met is at least 45. On Dhyran's list there are some familiar names, too, whom I don't count as AH players, as they only play it at cons.

Climbers probably got all you folks beat. His job takes him all over the country. Hes met about 6 of the old  77th FS Gamblers. Hes a hoot.  As funny in person as he is in the game.

Heeler and I were supposed to get together a while back on his next trip into Texas but then his route changed and we couldn't do it.  I would have liked to meet him.  

Drunky and Rattfink got me into the game so I know them, other than that, the only one I've met for real is Grizz.  Here is his picture:

I've been fortunate enough to meet a lot of the Fin's, a few members of the Few, a couple of US members (Rox, Babalonian and Curnutte) and to a man they've all been fun to be around. Going to Finland in the spring was the highlight of my year for 2 years in a row, and I'm hoping to be able to go this spring (missed last year unfortunately). I'd love to meet more, so far, not come across anyone who wasn't worth meeting.

Ink, were I able, I'd be up for more ink - maybe in the future fella.

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

I had the good fortune of being able to meet Heeler in person.  We met, had several cups of coffee, and had a real great visit.  Most of it was not AH related, just life issues and stuff. (we have the gray hair syndrome)  :lol

Anyway it was fun and he was the first one I had met live.  It was  kinda funny... you know how you might picture someone by how they sound and act in the game.  I was not far off, it was really cool.  Looking forward to it again, as he lives in the city where my daughter and her husband live.

I met xxxJCxxx....then hired him.

Now I'm stuck with his ass
