Fess up, who fell to Geeman's guns in the Main at A33 ?
« on: January 27, 2001, 09:23:00 AM »
Geeman, our newest member of VMF-323, logged on with his dad yesterday afternoon, and while dear old dad was launching a goon northward, Geeman, age 4, shot down his first bogie in the MAIN arena (he's taken down several in TA)...of course, due to the fact that he doesn't read very well yet, and I was busy, we didn't notice who the unlucky sould was, so please step forward and indentify yourself, all we want is the plane type you flew so that we may paint it on his F4U model !

Today he is 5 years old, Happy Birthday Geeman!  Here's to many more sorties with the old man!  (Now, how to convince the wife that we need to spend $60/month instead of $30 on an online sim.....hmmmmmm, dig up old credit card reciepts from my Warbird days?!?   )

WTG Kid and Happy Birthday!

I hope it wasn't me, I get shot so much I seldom look at who done it.

Rip, turn on his recorder.

And let me know next time he is up so I can hide out or switch countries or something.

You might also mention to him that it is considered bad form to shoot down guys who share his birthday and are close in age +/- 50 years.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

Rip it was either a 109G6 or A6m5 so that might help narrow it down.

I hope he isnt much like his dad, or he is a true tardling!  

just kidding.

Anyways, can I recruit your 5 old for the FAT DRUNK BASTARDS?

We are really good influence! promise!

Fat DRUNK Bastards.

Nothing feels sweeter than facing a powerful enemy 1 on 1, the battle is tough, but you emerge victorious. As he types <S>!!! on channel one, you open fire on his chute.

Congrats RIP, I know how you feel.

Sometimes my 5 y.o. son is allowed to take the joystick in the MA.  He has 4 kills so far, even though 'daddy' still has to land the plane for him  

And no, I don't let him fly the CHog or N1k2
