I wanted to take a moment out of my busy holiday season to thank HiTech Creations for the awesome product they make available. I started back in the days of Datapac ($6.00/hour) and $4.00/hour fees to Air Warrior. I recall monthly bills 8++ years ago of $600.00, yep, matched my mortagage payment. And when I hear whines about lack of eye candy I snicker thinking back to "hit Bubbles" and the dream of being able to actually aim for, and take off a wing. I graduated to War Birds and spent many hours developing and maintaining a website for the squad I was XO of, JG51 Moelders. I flew wing for one of the finest 109 jockeys and comanders in the virtual skies "DRUM" who I have lost touch with since taking a 3 year break. I've been fortunate enough to attend a CON (1998 Dallas) as well as get my father involved "SE" who spent 6,000 hours flying everthing from gliders to DC7's. Dad retired from flying (always as a hobby) after achieving a 6th in the World for Sportsman Aerobatics in I believe the early 1980's as well as being Canadian National Aerobatic Champion (as a visiting American with dual citizenship (sneaky eh!). I couldn't imagine giving that all up due to the curse (age) but the virtual world has given that back to a certain degree.
All the best to you HiTech, and staff in 2003, and thank-you for your devotion to the continued developement and refinement of your outstanding product, and brain-child.... Aces High.
