Look people no more dying ok.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

From the OP, I do not think this is the mountain man who has been playing AH for many years. In any case, still sad news.

I flew with and against Mountain Man in FA for years. I always saw him in the Advanced TC rooms. He always was friendly, and fought fair. SALUTE to Mountain Man and condolences to his family and friends.

I believe this is not mtnman who has flown F4-U's in AH for years and been a trainer but another mountain man from FA.  Nonetheless it's always sad to see another flight sim comrad auger.   :salute
