Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

The thing about we "Few" who played AirWarrior, is how we keep getting fewer.

Seeing my friends on that list hurts everytime I am reminded they are gone.

Air warrior came out in 1987 the average player then was late 20's. The average age now even with new players is like late 50's and the average age for my squad is 62 years old. The really bad part of being a younger player or member is you are probably going to loose a lot of friends as you get older.

The loses is probably the biggest reason why Getting Old Sucks.

I was really close to 3 squad-mates in the damned that flew west. Whels, TC, and Redhawk. These are people i have talked on the phone with Met in person and exchanged Christmas cards and gifts with.

It’s a hidden private group.
I left it years ago. TC invited me back but I didn’t want to be around a certain toxic person there. I’d rather light myself on fire. There are kewl old skewl guys there, many don’t sim much anymore. Got way to political for my blood. Someone told me it chilled tho. Quite a few are kinda anti-AH.

Basically its a Bigweek replacement

I was 28 in 88 when I bought my first AW game. Going on 67 now.
The hardest part of getting old is watching many go before you.
Made some close friends in AW/Kesmai, unfortunately politics ruins everything, some can’t stop. I hope they are doing well.

I miss Grizzly, he helped test the damage model and we had great fun doin it. TC was always good to me, always stuck up for me. I think he could make friends with a rock. It was great to see Rotor pop in the MA not long ago. Always good to see Gray Eagle

I miss many of the guys at AKHBR, I just don’t want know people’s politics, it gets in the way of an otherwise good friendships. And for a while thats what it was there. Whata shame.

It's a private group. I'm an admin, but I didn't set it up. I had to invite Molsman but we are already friends on facebook.

Unfortunately there hasn't been any activity since Nov 2025.

I sent you a PM

When I was there it was being ruined by the same tribe that ruined BW, here and every media they were in. It’s a shame. Maybe it changed after I left.
