Definitely a great loss to all who knew him.

 :salute Vilkas


I remember him from my early days in AH, asking him about his nickname. Vilkas means "lively" in Finnish and is also the translated name of Dopey the Dwarf of Snow White so the name raised my curiosity. A couple of lines on the text buffer soon revealed that he wasn't a fellow Finn, instead his nick meant "Wolf".

He was one of the finest people I ever met in this game. I remember a mission where Vilkas and I were tasked with flying noe a sector and a half to knock out a radar prior to a squad strike. Vilkas`s whoops of joy and laughter the whole way as we weaved around trees and through valleys will be remembered forever. Salute Vilkas my friend.

We can all tell stories about this Great Man and the many of nights him gunning for me in whatever Buff I flew. I took up in the B29 when it came and was amazed at the guns and firepower with them.

Fair Skies  Vilkas your memories and stories will live on Forever

Do not like seeing these posts, you know what I mean, but thanks for news.
I forget who it was but I asked somebody to pass along a ‘Hello’ to him a few months ago as I was thinking about him, hope it got through.
A joy to interact with and I will miss my friend -(S)-

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
