Way back in 2000 or 2001 I saw an advertisement on-line somewhere that led me to Hi-Tech.

I played FSX in 2011, I was in a formation squad who had just recruited 3 new guys, well after about a month it didn't work out and we let these three go, I however still kept in contact with them on Skype, one of them randomly messaged me on Skype one night...
"Hey you like dogfighting/flying right?"
"Yea?"
"Here, download this game"
His in game name was FlakBait IIRC
a night of pure hilarity ensued  :rofl
I remember it like yesterday. To think it's been almost a year and a half I've been playing this damn addiction - err game is crazy.

It was Yarbles who got me into Aces High, I met him in a shop called "Frocks and Skirts for Men" but that's another story. :old:


The question is how do you leave aces high? :)

For the cost its very good value for money and the threads are awesome :)

Air Warrior folded.  Flossy told the squad about Aces High.  We came.

Was playing Avalon Hill wargames, before many on this BB were even born..
Still have a large collection of them.. Some old, first edition ones too!

Kind of a natural progression I guess..

Back in tour 47 I was at my buddies house playing with his joystick and really enjoyed it.  I bought my own and started in tour 49.  Been here since.

I had read about a website that had a catalog of games in development that were looking for players to beta test.  I think AH was the third game I tried that day.

I found it on another site.

I was on FA and several folks were talking about it. I came over and tried it and stayed.

I've been here since about 2000 but found the boards in 2002.
