Just curious; I'm back after a long time away. Was just wondering who is left here that was in the AH Beta or first couple of Tours?

Does playing the Alpha count?  :lol

Thanks, Arlo, for that. I consider Biggles books to be "young adult' books, say ages 8 through 16, although they're interesting reads for adults, too, especially those interested in flying.

It's an hilarious place to eat, as well. They make up order names for the customers like 'Elvis the Pelvis, your order is ready.'

There is alcohol in them there shakes.



They have a social conscience.

I can't even remember the price or the tour I started, I do remember the Chog and one of the spitfires being the only aircraft being really flown, Think I tried it for a month or so, then left - not very happy with the plane sets or being ho'd all day long by Chogs.
I do know I went back to Falcon 4 until 2002 or so then back to Aces.

I do remember Fester being ranked top 5 every damn hour, ironically he didn't fly the Chog or Spit/La7 then, it was something else I cant remember.

Wow,  It's been a long time here..    When Dale and Company fired up Beta,  We ( Daddog, Docdog, Ghosth, Harppa and the rest of the 332nd Flying Mongrels ) downloaded Aces High on Daddog's suggestion.. The very first month that Aces High went public,  Daddog said that he was moving the squad to Aces High and all that wanted to were welcome to come along...  There isn't many of us left that were the original one's from the 332nd.  There are yours truly, Harppa and vaderr..

I've been here a long time and have watched this sim get better and it continually gets better and better....  I'm not going anywhere, Its a great sim and alot of fun to play..  Yeah-Yeah... :rock

As I recall,  It used to be $3.00 an hour to play,,, My wife was serious Wife-Ack back when she paid the bills... LOL :) :x

I need a beer to put out the fire,my tail feather's are still smokin from you guy's.....  :cheers:

I got a lot of help from Ghosth and Ozark when I first started, will always be thankful to them for that.

Which beta?

You mean 'Confirmed Kill' when it was free?

Or 'Warbirds' when a monthly bill could approach $200?

Or when AH was free?

I was known as mess, then messer when you could have as many as 6 characters in your handle.
