NoBaddy (NB) flies with the angels
« on: April 22, 2025, 06:09:50 PM »
It's with profound sadness that I've recently learned that NoBaddy (NB) dances with the angels.

Carlton designed the original Trinity Map. His participation in WW2 online flight sims dates back to the early days of Air Warrior that offered pre-historic graphics + connectivity bills that split apart many married couples.  :devil

NB was one of the original members of The Damned, and in true squad spirit, was always available to lend outreach and support to new players.

NB was a driving force in terms of organizing and producing the Aces High Conventions that took place in Grapevine...circa 2002 - 2008. He always provided multiple tubs of Blue Belle Ice Cream to the attendees, as he was a district sales mgr.

Rest in peace my friend...you left this place way too soon.

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 am beyond sad at hearing this. NB and Subby were the first to take me under their wings when I first started AirWarrior. I learned so much from them and especially Carlton. I talked to him on the phone many times. He didnt have to devote so much effort in helping a 16 year old kid, but he did. I was fortunate enough to meet him at a few AW cons. A true gentleman.

RIP my friend!!   :salute :salute :salute :salute

I absolutely remember him from way back in AW.

What a shame
Condolences to family and friends.

Great guy who helped me a lot back then. He helped a ton of new guys in fact. I first knew him as "Fidel" or Infidel in the half-time arenas. He was always friendly and even helped me get "codded" into the Damned along with Ptero after I'd tag along with them headed to furballs and whatnot. Had the pleasure of meeting him at the Con in 98 as well and it was a pleasure.

Rest In Peace, NB. <Salute>
