Yes he did, he flew with the WarHawks.  I cannot tell you how hard I would laugh when he got into trouble knowing just how good a real fighter pilot he was.  He was something else.

RIP Mouse It was an honor meeting you at the AW Cons and learning from your Books

<S> Sir, It was a pleasure meeting him if memory serves at Jordi's AW Con in 1999 or 2000? I'll have to go check the t shirt I still have stashed away, the measure of a true gentleman easy calm nature and just as easy to talk to, I think I'll re read the book again in his honor.

I can remember meeting him also at an AW convention way back when.

He would log in and join us online, I was flying with JG-54 back in the day and he knew all the guys and just have a great time.

One month I was in the top fighter spot for points and Mouse comes up and wings with me, in no time he fragged me twice and he apologized multiple times on his way out.

Great guy, RIP !

I recall rumors that he occasionally flew in AW, if he went to conventions, I suppose the rumors were true?

I watched him bag 3 kills in a Zeke and RTB inverted  :D
