Thank you for flying in Operation Husky!

[Brooke]

Thank you, bold and dashing pilots of Aces High, for flying in Operation Husky. 

There were epic aerial battles.  There were curses exclaimed and shouts of victory.  Acts of heroism and of desperation.

The gamut of human emotion and vitality played out in the delirious blue skies of Sicily! 

Special thanks to Rocco and Ditto for stepping up to be CO's. 

I hope that folks had a great time.

I flew P-40's.  We P-40's had a great time.  Sometimes we made it to target and escaped with our lives.  Sometimes we were caught and slaughtered to the last man.  Sometimes, while many of us perished, going down in flames while shaking our fists at the hated Hun, some battled their way out to land with shaking hands and shot-up planes back at base.

Now, with the battle over, we give a hearty <S> to our noble foes, the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica! 

[SNO]

It was fun with good battles!
Thanks for hosting Brooke.

It was fun for the time I was able to fly. Sadly due to becoming a cashier I missed the last 2 frames of this and FSO because of working 3-11s I am planning on trying to have earlier shifts or even use personal days to fly events if possible. But fun nonetheless.

[Brooke]

I will also note, LNG, frame 1 -- 4 kills.  Frame 2 -- 5 kills!  Way to go, my friend!

Before I forget and before I get hammerred for hijacking , I just wanted to mention that we missed a Birthday during the event. Our own Flossy celebrated a birthday Somewheres near frame 2. How many she wouldnt say. Flossy is a regular bomber jock in scenarios and  and has for years .I wish her a late good birthday from all her squaddies

Flossy is just turning 40 years old.  Way to go, Flossy! 

[Shuffler]

I do not know any women over 29. My wife has been 29 for awhile now. In fact the 21st was her 29th birthday again.

[Brooke]

My mistake.

Flossy was turning 29.  Happy birthday, Flossy!

LOL, thanks Turt!   My Birthday was actually on Friday gone and I don’t mind anyone knowing I was 69!  Thanks Turt, Brooke and Shuffler for the good wishes!  Looking forward to taking part in more events in the future for as long as I’m around and able to hold a joystick   

Thanks for putting up with me!

69?   Really? My favorite Number! Wanna know why?        They read the same UPSIDE DOWN and reversed!!  Get your Mind out of the Gutter   Always a pleasure, trying to cover your 6!   Er...uh...pretty sure I remember getting an assist on killing you? IIR...I distinctly remember seeing in Event Logs?  "BW1stpar helped Devil501 shoot down Flossy"  WTF?      As memory serves...I killed devil?  Was awesome seeing you at Betty's Memorial Flight!   3:00am for you!  I met Betty through the FaceBook Group.  She was lamenting the fact her old PC couldnt run AH3.  I hated, it for her!  I needed an Upgrade to run VR, so sent her my "Old PC".  Fast Friends for Life!  Eh...first thing she did..."Cannon Slinging Biotch"(as she claimed was her real Nick name)  SHOT ME DOWN!!!!!   She had sent me a few messages, to "Call Me"....she called me Mr. President?  I was hard to get in touch with. My Son, had my phone and had it destroyed....My Mom...had new phone and didnt have her Phone # saved...@#$%   I will never forgive myself, for missing her calls. We had touched base after her Cancer Diagnosis...the calls I refer to were just days before we lost her.   "Call Me, Mr. President!"    "Helllo!!"    Those Cigs got ya? "How the F, do you do that? Yes..afraid so. You always seem to know what is happening before I tell you? You wonder why I call you Mr. President? You got  the CIA,FBI,NSA spying on me?  You knew I would be in my Typhie...BLESS YER HEART!  OK  I am sorry!" We joked about that First time back in AH...constantly    Love ya Sis!

Haha, yes it really is a great number.

When was that?  Just looked through all 4 logs and don't see anything like that?  Easily done though with killshooter off - just needs one stray bullet and you get an assist in killing a friendly.   

Was awesome seeing you at Betty's Memorial Flight!   3:00am for you!  I met Betty through the FaceBook Group.  She was lamenting the fact her old PC couldnt run AH3.  I hated, it for her!  I needed an Upgrade to run VR, so sent her my "Old PC".  Fast Friends for Life!  Eh...first thing she did..."Cannon Slinging Biotch"(as she claimed was her real Nick name)  SHOT ME DOWN!!!!!  

Yeah, was a bit late for me.  I'd begged for it to be earlier without success, so had to bite the bullet and stay up late!  I just couldn't miss the opportunity to pay my respects to such a wonderful person.  What an awesome thing you did though in giving her your 'old' PC!  That really is above and beyond!  Well done you for helping to make her last days in AH possible.   

She had sent me a few messages, to "Call Me"....she called me Mr. President?  I was hard to get in touch with.

Sorry to hear of your missed calls, that must have been heartbreaking for you when you realised.

Anyway, thanks for watching my 6 during the scenario, looking forward to the next one!
