You make me proud.

Combining the birthday greetings from the Finnish virtual pilots, and people from Aces High, WarBirds and World War II Online, I now have 11 pages of little messages for mr. Aho.

I will meet him tomorrow - and as just plain luck happened to arrange, in front of the Finnish World War II association's members. I hope the chairman of the association is also present. He has supported the Finnish Virtual Pilots Association's aviation history efforts, and it surely would be nice to see how a fellow pilot is such respected.

It sure shows mr. Aho has so much more friends than he knows.

Big thanks to all you great people. I'll post photo or two afterwards.

Happy Birthday and I hope you have many more.

I look up to someone with such knowledge and willing to share it with others.

I hope you have many more birthdays and many more happy days with your wife and family.

A big salute to you and all you flew with.

It matters not who you fought with it matters what you fought for.


Thank you Prof. Aho for sharing your knowledge with me and others.

As some may have read in these forums I also have a 'resource' in New Zealand, Spitfire pilot Alan Peart.

I realise now what wonderful stories these pilots have to tell, their bravery and luck seem very simple and glorious from our historical perspective but at the time it must have been sheer hell.

None of us would want to go through what they did, and in no small way, thanks to their actions, I hope none of us ever will...

Happy Birthday Mr Aho... and many more of them!

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Hyvää syntymäpäivää!!!!

The world is a better place because of people like you and your generation.   Your willingness to share knowledge and experiences with others is something that we hold dear.  

Please, from my family to yours, have a wonderful Birthday and may the good lord bless you with many more.
