<raises hand>

Was there for WAY TO MUCH MONEY SPENT! Then I left the online world for a while and came back in FA and the open beta of AH. I bounced around in between FA and AH for a while just because I could not justify WB dollar wise again (wife and kid).

Yep.

2.5 -> 2.77

Still planning to check out WBIII when it matures a bit.  Seems like there are an awful lot of problems and missing planes.

Started flying Warbirds in 1998 through 2000 with the Haze 100th F/B group.

tried AH when it was open beta for a couple of weeks and died a lot. Went back to the F-15 ladder I was on and played that until summer of 2000 when I tried AH again for two weeks. Came back in October and activiated my account

Started with AW DOS, stayed AW until... Warbirds (CK) opened.

Warbirds until...Aces High beta.

Played WB from 1.11 to 2.7 something.
Had a look at AW and was pretty unimpressed, so stuck to WB until I moved to AH in tour 4 or 5.
Most of my squadmates came directly from WB to here with me, add another 7 or so to this list.

Yep.

WB 1.0x (forget which one) through AH beta.

Spent hundreds on the game, sometimes in just a month.

CK.91 -> WB1.11r3 (briefly played WB2.0r1)...

I saw WB go from very well rendered rolling terrain (Confirmed Kill engine), to the flat low poly count terrains with ground clutter, back to very nicely done rolling terrain but didn't have some of the more interesting features of the CK engine.

Anyone remember (I don't remember where), the elevated canyon v.91 and previous?

Some cool fights were in there. And CK had factories, I remember those- they never made it over to WB though. (of course, they didn't do anything in CK either)
