So... no CVs or are you just working a square island with a little bit of coastline for them?

I miss the fear at 27k seeing Hristo, Hollywood, Hangtime, Wardog or Cit (or many others) comin in higher than me!
I miss being 1 of 5 knights takin on the world while the Bish/cRooks fought it out.
I miss HT takin my head off with 250lb bombs from a B17 parked on the ground as he tested out the new code for the tank! (Him laughin his bellybutton off as he typed.. HAHAH got yer nose!)

Thooose wereeeeeee the daaaaaaaaaaysssssss

But just like on All in the Family... it just keeps getting better in here!

S!

Yeah cavey, the canyon fights.. chasin Sn1per thru them rocks, catchin his c47 down low and sayin "kniggit goon, spill yer troops now, and yah can fly home free.."

The xmas eve I shot down some guy named 'Santa Claus'..

Dotsie.. anybody remember him? Had some great fights with that guy.

Creamo.. first time he gunned my chute and the three day hunt fer vengance.

The Pony Duel w/ Camel over, in around and thru the canyon, 30 minutes i'll never forget.

The incredible never ending vultch fests with HiTech and Heater... laffin so hard I was cryin some nights; gawd that was some sick toejam.

Ice and the magic Dot Of Death Gunsight.

The magic night we got a FM upgrade that gave the P51 ungodly e retention... and wings that fell off if yah looked hard at 'em.

The one time I caught and killed fishu...

The Bishop Squad nights.. when we'd all get together and blacken the sky with buffs and made the entire arena cry fer mercy. "rook dar up in 4 min, kniggit dar down fer another 2 hours... lets hit the rooks again.." I think their lights might still be out.

The 109 vs pony TOWD fights.. the First Hristo Duel..

Yeah.. the good old days, when 150 guys regularly flew, and we knew each and every one of 'em.. what they drank, what they flew, and dammit, it was more fun than anything I care to remember now.

I remember one beta version where there was a problem with the b17. You would eventually get going so fast the plane would tear itself apart. At one point there was also an "easter egg" where if you managed to climb above a certain altitude in a b17 you would get a message saying something like "rocket boosters engaged, maintaining 2.5k/min climb rate."

My all time favorite bug was the one early in 1.02 where spanning at a VH in certain planes offline would result in getting shot straight up in the air. Once you got to about 150000 ft you'd start coming back down again.

I sometimes think HT used to leave a few things in just to be funny.
