this video (featuring morfiend in one of the 109s :) ) captures one of my favourite memories and most intense fights of my time playing AH

in the MA it wouldn't have been especially memorable

in the ECA scenario the adrenaline rush was incredible - when you get into a fight like that knowing you have limited lives and it'll take another hour or so before you can get back into the action

I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

Another good one I remember. Meeting Bat. I lifted a SpitV over and over.
Bat killed me over and over :rofl

Late Friday nights listening to Lynx on squad vox after one to many beers (Ales) I  swear I learned  every British swear word in the book.  :lol

Or his

"afk cuppa" ( I still hold out hope that one day ill see this come across the chat buffer)  :D


Great guy to fly and be around  :aok

he was my favorite to find back in my early days, loved fighting him... he mostly won but without knowing it he taught me a lot.

My first aces high sortie.

Had no idea what plane to take so I took a N1K2, headed to the red dots, and shot down one V guy and then got Vdallas.

Got an angry PM my first ever aces high sortie.

Haven't flown the N1K2 since.....seems too easy.

3 I can think of off hand.

 Making 'Kill Emil' duelling a certain somebody was alot of fun, and the best morning ever.

 Everytime I fly the 109E and 109F is a fond memory.

Many years ago with the 412th, I'll never forget flying and learning from some of the best (and modest) virtual pilots ever.   :salute

Two pre-AH memories moved me:

First, when I was a training in AW, teaching a younger guy some basic ACMs and answering all of his questions, finding out through conversation that he was having a hard time because he had C.P.

Second, the first time we got any type of Vox/Voice, flying around The Kraits, who were in Spitfires, and listening to them speak with British accents.  It doesn't get much more immersive than that.

In AH, I've had numerous great fights, with a lot of films of some real twisters and back and forth battles.  I do enjoy when I get the 1 or 2 turn kill on an overshoot.  However, for me, the best memories are now the laughs with the friends I've made, both newer since I started AH, and older, such as the remaining Nomads and AWers.
