I've flown the P61 in another sim and it's a blast. When you're attacking a bomber formation you can be blasting one bomber while your gunner is blasting another one. Good stuff!

I'm just stunned after looking at that list of passed players. My heart goes out to their families and their teams.

seeing this really brought back some memories. AKhoopy and AKziff.. both excellent guys and fantastic on the stick. when we lost AKziff, his wife AKPepper couldnt bring herself back to the game, and understandably so. recently AKbmzaway stepped away from the game as well and his son, AKkuya resigned with him.

we've lost a lot of good pilots and a lot of AKs.

i may poke at a lot of people and throw tizzies about FSO design, but in all honesty its a blast to fly with each and every one of you.

i hope time continues to allow us all to feel the wind under our wings.
be careful with your words, because you never know when they will be the last ones someone hears or reads.

see you gents in the arena

Looks like there's some broken links from AKhoopy to AWMac. I didn't check all of them. Just noticed those after clicking a couple.

It looks like I may have copied stuff over wrong when I had to change web hosting. I'll see if I can get the correct links for any that are wrong.  :salute

Glad to hear that the news of your demise has been greatly exagerated.

we are likely near or at the event horizon where there are more players dead who have played this game than are alive playing it now.

Probably. My squad (I'm inactive) has lost a bunch. There's a page on the 327th website offering tribute, but I'm not sure KOOL maintains it much anymore.

For old Warbirds virtual pilots, here is another list, many flew in both sim's.
