Bixby, I was a commercial pilot for years and had to stop for medical reasons but ace high is very close to it except you don't feel the air under your wings or the cross wind landings and a few other things you come across. But now I'm 74 and its still all good. If I'm not up to par with the enemy I just pack up  my toejam and move to another base or fly bombers at  30K to keep out of everyone's way. Best wishes Popason  :old:

Gort.... were you flying tonight? Were you having problems with your setup?

I ask as I shot someone down with that name and they hardly moved. They were in a Corsair the first time and a 190 later.  Just wondering if you need some help.
