All former WB pilots, let's see a show of hands

[Ripsnort]

Actually "rexx" I know of a few that easily beat my $322 one-month Visa bill that nearly cost me my marriage when the marriage was at its infancy.(That didn't include the TM Throttle and JS, pedals on that same month too!)

Started WB's about .98 certainly 1.02.  Can anyone beat $240 month?  Obviously, I was not addicted, but I took the methadone treatment anyway.

Now Flying Pigs.

Rexx!! How ya doin man?  All we need is zappa and we'll have our whole fortress germany squad here    banana is baxl if you didn't know.

[Bluefish]

Was there since, ah, well, don't remember exactly, but there was a special DOS connect thingie and the whole thing was in 2-D. Purp, too.

[killjoy1]

<banana is baxl if you didn't know.> The original Pale Rider.

Yea I just saw that Udie.  Fortress Germany <sigh>  enough said.

[buhdman]

Lt (Buhd) Lite, here.  Flew WB in the days before any significant digits before the decimal point.  I remember my first flight out of F1 (the proverbial furball base).  I was so naive I actually asked for permission to take off!  Permission was gladly granted, too.  I think I retracted my gear before I was destroyed    It was all down hill from there.

Buhdman, out

[Wanker]

Wow! I didn't know that Kiljoy was Rexx!  

Long time, Rexx. What I wouldn't give to relive that "Fortress Germany" scenario again.

Hehe Rip, if you're marriage almost disintegrated because of $320, what has happened to it since you pulled into the driveway with that fancy new BMW?

in WB i vas  spit, hury  squad member

[Redd]

CK/Wb  - .84 until 2.something (2000)
flew with VF-17

Had a rest for 18 months and now flying AH with the MOL (some of them were VF-17 for a while - popeye, archer, dago)

AH is pretty damn good  

[CJ]

I was -WDGE- in CK from .91 - end of beta.  I actually subscribed for WB 1.05 or so for a while, but couldn't afford it.  CK got me hooked on online sims.

[llbm_MOL]

Started flying online in WB's 1.06 or something like that. Came to AH in beta, went back to WB's till AH matured and the SpitV stopped flying like a 190. My squad slowly migrated over here and after the =trainers= in Wb's pissed me off I dropped my account and came over to the "Dark Side".

-llbm- Wb's handle.

LLB in the Best Flight Sim in the Bizzzz

[Yeager]

I was, you guessed it, *Yeager* in Warbirds.

1.09 all the way to 2.5 (apr97-Nov99).
(Tried AW and quickly determined that $2 an hour was well worth the price for what I wanted to experience.)

After Dale and fellas left WBs I decided that since HT was the muscle behind WBs Id follow him through AH (Pyro is the gamebrains, HT is the code muscle).  Being with a sim since day one is something that makes me proud.

Dale and crew have done a truly outstanding job with AH.

That seems to be the way of it... people left AW for WB but not vice versa and now people leave WB for AH but not vice versa.

Dollar to a donut far more people left AW for AH than for WB's. When I saw AH for the first time I never bothered even checking out WB.

[Vulcan]

heheheh we were Virgin Dweebs together.

Remember the 'BoB' events - 40 spits vs 40 ponies LOL.

God I miss the uber-Zeke!

Incidently, I miss the "blue" country   ..also, during early open beta, you'd see the name of the enemy instead of plane type, their used to be a few 'hunts' in those days.
