Moving On
« on: January 24, 2015, 09:41:15 AM »
I cancelled my AH subscription this morning. I've been at this on-line WWII flight sim stuff since 1992. Recently I realized it was time to outdoors while I still can. So the wife and I are spending a lot of time with our grandchildren looking for arrowheads and collecting rocks along the North Sulphur River. Plus I've gotten back into my old firearms hobby and there's a couple of guns I'm saving up to purchase instead of upgrading my PC. I've enjoyed the sim its been a lot of laughs over the years. I just want the guys in the following squads and associations to know I really appreciated flying and hanging out with them and over the years. You guys made this hobby very enjoyable and I appreciate it.

Real life comes first. This game makes time go by faster than anything else and that is scary. Go have fun with the wife/kids/grandkids.  :salute :cheers:

Agreed.  But then come back here.

Take care, Shifty.

shifty it was great Hating you and then having you as a Great friend! from a bumpy start to ally, I've thoroughly enjoyed
having you as a friend, talking to you on the phone and planning things together in the AVA.
you will be sorely missed by me more so then anyone else. we've lots of nasty fights against each other
and lots of fun together! I will miss you my friend and hope that someday, when you feel the need again,
you will come back to the game. ill be looking forward to the day you do!

good luck and my heartfelt best wishes to you and your family. you'll be missed!

ps.... just in case, I have you phone number, so I can try to talk you into coming back!!! LOL
