When we forget this is just a game...

Scav's stuff has been around for a long time and the great thing about his posts is that they let you know that it is ok to be a dweeb and kill yourself repeatedly because eventually you are going to get your chance to GO DIVING DOWN!!!

That was Scav's codeword for BnZ attack, or perhaps any situation where hs guns or bombs were pointed at an enemy.  That is what we all fly for, after all.

And it was Scav who asked the immortal question that has crossed all of our minds at least once - "If the bombs are armed and you put them right in the center of that big carrier deck do you get credit for the hits if the aircraft is still attached to the bombs?"


Scav, we hardly knew ye but you left a lot behind for all of us

RIP, ace

X2Lee....you might want to take a step away from the computer and not assume EVERY post on thes boards are meant to flame or belittle someone else's comments...

There was ABSOLUTELY NO MALICE towards the AW community or the Gentileman named... HUN and the squadron known as -=Most Wanted=- hated to see AW go as much as you or anyone else. Hell, we were the top squad in NUMEROUS consecutive campaigns and we LIVED FOR AW.  Hun was just reflecting back as if saying "ahhh the good ole days...those times are gone unfortunately...as well as the stories that Scavenger told. Its a shame that they are both gone..." (maybe a not-so good choice of words) but thats what I got out of HUN's comment...

I never knew Scavenger and it is a tragic thing that happened to him. HUN would NEVER disrespect anyones unfortunate passing.

I can understand how Hun's comment can be taken the wrong way,  But in no way it is meant to be malicious. I don't know if the defensive stance is from the general "at each others throat-ness" recently on the BBS....

As you can see, the MW in front of our "handle" is the same. I'm not only a squadmate but a close friend of HUN. I guess I got to this post before he could recant...but here I am and I think it needed to be said before it gets outta hand.  

I'm not sure what your CPID was in AW or where you flew,  but we flew RR Euro on Bz side if that helps or refreshes your memory. :)

I didn't think he was going for malice, it's just sad to see it that way...(as it's sad they are both gone)

I was just kidding with HUN cause the threads intention was to be uplifting =P

HUN's not a badguy.
Gone from the game. Please see Spikes or Nefarious for any Ahevents.net admin needs.

JMHO but perhaps Hun could learn to express himself with a little more tact.  Not uncommon at all for folks to NOT realize they "sound" like buttheads... which was my initial take (granted the atmosphere around here doesn't help).
