Recalling an earlier time...the Dawn Patrol were a great bunch of people I would fly against in the early morning hours (US Eastern).

Any of you still flying?

Hey Eagler...those were good times.

Do you recall "COHO"? He was from Colorado I think. Do you recall any other names?

I remember all those names too! There was a different feel that time a day way back. I used to play Sunday mornings a lot and it was super fun. Now I limit myself to only playing a few hours in the evening.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I remember back when my Saturday nightys turned into Sunday mornings while flying.

That’s why I limit myself to a few hours at night. It’s too easy to log in with a cup of coffee in the morning and the next thing you know everyone is asking you what’s for dinner.  :joystick:

The MidWar planset was the best.

Being back Midwar is my credo! lol

I know current numbers don’t warrant split arenas anymore but I propose we have Midwar Momday’s where the MA is Midwar plane set.  :airplane:

Man...Summer time I was playing until 3-4am, sleeping until lunch, and doing it again the next day...

No wonder I had like 360 hours one tour  :bolt:

In the name of variety some maps should limit the planesets...

A map could be early war, the next mid followed by a map with late planes...then the next has them all again...

I think more would be for such variety than those that would whine against it..

Mid war is best..more fighting less running

Mid-war was some of the best fun in my 20 year tenure here! Dawn Patrol  :joystick: I remember Coho...what a super nice guy he was. I recall seeing him in MA maybe 2-3 years ago. He was thinking of returning to the game and then, POOF!...never saw him again.
Other ppl I remember are Hispd (pretty darned sure "Allison" was his 2nd acc't)  Deadpoet (still plays) Cujo & Smitty (still plays). DmdDummy (still plays) I'm trying to remember the guy who flew FW's and Lancs....pretty sure he flew Nits...he was somewhat of an ascorbic personality as a foe but nice fella as a buddy.

I miss those days....a lot!  :old:
