I had been playing aw for a while somebody told me about wardbirds.  I downloaded it, took like forever on aol.  i upped an airplane took one flight, the graphics were so much better than aw, but it was a bit harder to fly.  I ended up getting killed within like 2 minutes of taking off.  logged off and deleted the game.  went back to aw :).

Version 1.04 Patch 2 was a download of just over 11MB's.

This is why I didn't download it for the first few months after I saw it on 3DFiles, I remember thinking, 11MB?, can't be any good!!

There are people reading this that have no idea what you are talking about. "Floppies", what's a "floppies"?

I spent many years in WB.

My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
