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.

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:

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:
