Air Warrior was killed off simply because EA bought the company that owned Air Warrior, and did not want to be bothered with it. They bought the company in order to acquire other parts of it.

Hitech began in Air Warrior, and was in fact inspired by it. Air Warrior is the parent to the MMO air combat flight sim.
Thought HT came from Warbirds?

Hitech flew AW and did a bit of coding...think he wrote the film viewer. He and Pyro produced Warbirds.

I also seem to recall an texture editor he wrote called V-Tech or something that allowed you to change the cockpit graphics around.

It's odd to swat an annoying insect?

No...what's odd is to have to keep swatting the same one...it never dies.

Air warrior never played it... if it was that good it would be still here.

AW was very advanced for it's time.  They pioneered this genre then EA killed it for reasons unknown soon after buying it.

Had development continued and the player base been retained I'd guess we'd all be playing AW now and none of the similar games, including this one, that came after would have ever gotten off the ground.

You really shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about.
