There was that guy that used to fly the Hurricane all the time in midwar. I think he his name was Sparky and I used to call him Sparkles or something like that. For sure Hurricanes are fun but not so effective against the late war monsters that only engage with alt.

Speaking of nostalgia. You guys remember Admiral Rodbstr?

I think I was the last straw for him. I saw a small darbar near one of our fleets once and went out to check it out, was easy to find him since he wasn't in the CV's dar ring. Shot him down and got about 10 furious texts in a row about how much a cheater I was then I literally never saw him again online

Sparky aka Sparkles!!!  :x He was a a unit & 1/2 :old: Good guy....we banged heads quite a bit together and as foes. He was around the same period as NILK5 -==0=0==- 

As for RODBUSTER...WASN'T HE THE GUY WHO TYPED IN CAPS 24/7 AND GOT PO'D IF YOU DARED TO RECHANNEL HIS CV WAYPOINTS?

Good stroll down Memory Lane

I don't remember what it was about Sparky but I do recall he could be annoying at times...

YES. HE TYPED IN CAPS SO MUCH THAT I OFFERED TO BUY HIM A NEW KEYBOARD THAT HAD A WORKING SHIFT KEY.

Maybe you did push him over the edge. I know some on country channel would rib him too and call him Rodbitr or something when he was in his admiral mode and wouldn't give up command of the CVs

I remember the days when 15 or more goons would frp a sky full of troops over the town.  See who got the capture.

Shortly after reactivating my account I spotted a C47 lumbering along in the middle of nowhere. I had alt on him in my Corsair and dove on him several times never getting any hits as he turned with perfect timing on each pass. The "fight" became a turn fight and I lost so much airspeed after a few turns that I lawn darted while he merrily flew off. I was so intent on getting him that I never thought to use my flaps.  :lol

When I was little 8 maybe?  I remember taking part in a huge assault on a port from a CV, hundreds of people, it was mind blowing.  Vics swimming to shore, PT boats escorting, planes zipping off the CV, it stuck with me...  AH2 era...
