     Was just thinking about you last week.  Earl1937 was talking about his wife's passing and flying
a PT-19.  I was going to bring up your family, but decided to let it be.  He never got to fly the PT-26
but would have liked to.


Hey Glenn! I'm still kicking' and glad to see you are too! My health is stable and that's about all I ask for. How you doing?

The -26 went back to Canada. Dad is 93 and just got too old to fly it anymore. The other two are in KC but sold out of the family. The guy I sold to still lets me in the front seat whenever I ask. If Earl ever went to KC, I'm sure I could hook him up there.

Good to see so many old timers still here. Thanks for the welcome back and I hope to see ya up!

The game still has that draw, doesn't it? It is THE affordable Walter Mitty experience for many of us that grew up building all those Monogram and Revell WW2 airplane kits. I realized a while ago I'd never get to own these aircraft; this is as close as I'm going to get.

So, since Cit pointed it out, <S> to Dale/Doug/Skuzzy/all the HTC folks for keeping this thing alive.

I remember a good few of those on Nath's list but I didn't start playing till 2003, which makes me a perpetual noob   :rock

speaking of old timers, who remembers Taki?

What happened to RAM... anyone remember him?
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.—Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

I remember him.  He left for other things.  Came back briefly and then disappeared again.

Tour 15 for me, but a lot of H2H before that (I was broke for quite a while back then)

Good to see you Toad, <S>

Holy moly the names in that thread bring back memories. Had to believe it's been almost 14 years.

Flew the game that predated the beta version of AH.      Fighter OPPS on AOL, Air Warrior, and Warbirds.
