Stamper - are you flying online again now?  If so, check the Roster (Roster button on clipboard) and see if there are any more Kraits on.  If you click the top of the Squad column on the roster, it will sort everyone into squad order, then you can scroll down until you see Krait Squadron.  You will see yourself listed and anyone else online at the time will show next to you.  Type on the Squad (red) channel to let any other members know you are there.  I don't usually get online until after about 10 pm, but can be on earlier any evening if you want some company anytime.... hope to see you online sometime soon.....  :)

Stamper,

failing seeing any Kraits online, you're welcome to fly with VMF-323.

Free accounts for vets is a generous and thoughtful consideration Pyro.  Maybe even get those artists to work on skins for the aircraft they flew, time and workload permitting that is :)

Way to go on getting Stamper set up and flying.
Stamper, welcome to Aces High.

Welcome Stamper, and a hearty "Well Done" to the fellow addicts....er....flight sim fanatics......who recognized an opportunity and capitalized on it.

Hmmm, I have several used joysticks, some sound and lan cards, various sticks of memory gathering dust. I'd be more than willing to donate to the cause should they be of use.

Hey Stamper - I'll give you a call this weekend. Sorry for the slow response - I don't read this forum much, but Moose kindly pointed me in this direction. :)

Talk soon.
