After 20 years I had my first.

In 20 years I had never had a player see my hat and say something.
HiTech

maybe in 20 years you never saw a random player. Not as if this game is “all over the internet. Matter of fact you Google aces high...iron maiden album and a school best you out. You Google  flight sim.... no aces high for at least the first six pages of results, got tired of looking.

When I used to watch the hx channel I saw ads and we had two main arenas (full)

[Shuffler]

I never saw an ad before. I came over by word of mouth from FA.

[DaddyAce]

I recall ads popping up during my google searches.

I came to Aces High when Fighter Ace went belly up too many moons ago. I used to be a bad pilot but now I am truly awful. 

I would buy a shirt and a hat but I was thinking that maybe those baseball hats are for cissy's. A good 10 gallon Texas hat might be more appropriate for a lot of us.

Going back to the marketing comments. I think Bumper stickers might be a good approach. Thousands of people a week would see them on your car whether they want to or not.

For the last couple of years I’ve wanted to paint D-Day stripes on my van.
My concern is how long they would stay, I’d like it to wear off after a month or so.

I remember the History ch ads, and after I was done with whatever game I was playing at the time, I remembered MSCFS and how much I loved it. Those AH commercials brought me to the game.

From my experience, most long term subscribers I met found this game thru a commercial on the military channel. Commercials are where it's at. I think things like bumper stickers and hats are the cheapest way to market and have hundreds if not thousands of people see your advertisement.

Bumper sticker only has to say "Play Aces High" with The website address imposed on a WW11 aircraft.

PC Gamer ad I think pulled me over from FA2 20 something years ago

I went to FA when AW died but more of my old friends came to AH so I finally made it over in 2001 I think.

I was at the gun range wearing an Aces High hat, the cashier saw the hat and said that he used to play that game.

Questions:

where can I get a hat?
What gun range did you visit?
What weapons did you shoot?

[Shrike]

I have a t-shirt from Aces High Con III.  I wear it all the time but have yet to hear someone mention anything.  I’m not going to chunk it until I get the satisfaction of a mention.  It’s still in decent condition too .

HITECH!! HATS!! YES!!! DUUUUDDDDEEEE!!!! that would be COOL!  I would definitely be in the market for one at least, and if you sign the inside I'll pay more <G>  If you get Pink to put a lipstick kiss on the brim I'll pay DDOUBLE!  And if you get ULTactus to put a lipstick kiss on it............TRIPLE......... ..

And if you're not wearing your hat, how else do we know when we've seen Hitech? Always wondered what the creator of this great game looks like
