Big Drex.  Good to see more of this stuff out in the community.  If you need cannon fodder for demonstrations, let me know.  :D

Horn, just give me a heads up when you wanna' come over!
we've already had a 9" and 6" snow up top :)

it's looking like this winter may break the 'spell' !! whoooT

as for the Platte.. I used to fish deckers all the time.. it made me a much better fisherman !
Maybe we should have a mini-con / fish-off next spring ?

I'm in!

I fish the Platte just downstream of Spinney. Called the Miracle Mile or something, but with all the guided trips the Miracle is that anyone catches anything.

Perhaps we can do a Caddis hatch mini-con...May-ish.

Snowing here, too--hope we get a ton!

Horn, just got another 3 inches last night.. whoooo hoooo

Miracle mile.. you are on.. my buddy and I try and hit it every spring.. last year I caught a 12 pound brown..
gotta love it.

around here it's usually the 12-24 inch fish but they are the fiestiest (sp) fish I've ever hooked.  At times an 18 incher will feel like a 10 pounder..

still fishing here but only between storms :)

I'm about to put away the fly rod and break out the boards !
Definately plan on coming up to ski.. I can probably finagle a discount or something on the lift ticket and you can stay overnight at my place so no lodging expense.

*edit*

in fact, we should try and time this so a few AH'ers can make it at the same time (I.E. Drex, Toad, etc)

Sounds like a plan and thanks for the offer.

Have you ever fished the outflow of the Taylor river? 7x tippets, #20-22 Misces (sp) shrimp, 20 lb PhD. fishes. A blast, tho.

Drex,

I quit WB due to total lack of progress,  but the 2 times I did try AH I didnt like it because of the late war centric planeset and the non-historical gameplay.

However, it seems with the new development currently in progress for the historical mission based arena, AH may be heading toward exactly what I have always wanted. So, im preparation for the new arena I am thinking of giving AH another go.

Once upon a time I could hang with you in FW's... but once upon a time I also could stay up till 4am drinking scotch and talking sh*t in Grapevine too!

How about some help getting back up to speed and figuring this thing out?

Good to see you Fang.

Shoot me an email at bkdrex@icqmail.com

I'm rusty myself.  Have flown around 56 hours in the last 6 months,  but I think we can find a time to hook up.  Your brother or any of JG26 coming over?

email otw.   My brother hasnt played WB in years, he is flying a ton in real for Delta now.... copilot on 767's last I heard. I would like to get him back into it.

As for the rest of JG26, they are going strong in WB and kickin buttin the S3's. The S3's were the only thing keeping me in WB, but Im hoping the new mission arena will be something like a permanent S3. I think if AH pulls it off, it could lure others away from WB.

Fangio> It's a common misconception that no other sim can hold events the way Warbirds can..well sorry to burst the bubble for those people that believe that but AH events are easily the equal if not improved on what Warbirds can offer and I've flown plenty of WB events in the years I played there. The last event 'Battle of Britain' was simply outstanding, the organisation before during and after was top notch. Registration was done as fairly as possible and it was unfortunate that not everyone could get a place such was the demand. As a squadron leader in the event I received plenty of correspondance from my sector controllers and very good direction during the event. When all was done the results were on hand and laid out extremely well for everyone to get a blow by blow run down on their performance. The S3 events in WB have their equal in AH with the TOD series which runs twice a week with US and importantly Euro friendly times too with other events such as the Snapshot's and the new CAP event on Saturday's complimenting the large scale events such as the BoB event just gone and the Midway event organised for November.

The great organisation, the built in comms and good turnout's make for some great events. That's not to say Warbirds does'nt run good events because they still do but many use this excuse of AH events somehow being inferior as an excuse not to try AH and that's unfair on the AH CM's who do a damned good job.
