When I posted the story, I had no idea the response I would get.  I just needed to talk about it.

You guys are all great.  Thank you for many responses.  I am glad it was enjoyed.

Just goes to show, when you scrap off the superficial stuff that goes on, in ch1 and the BB, there is a great core community here.

You guys are to be commended.

It's stories like these that help inspire us all to jump back in and have a blast.

Salute Skuzzy!

Hehe, my wife still can't understand how I can get all sweaty "playing that damn game". <G>

You know, I am really glad everyone enjoyed this story.

But, I only relayed the story.  There were many pilots who made this story possible.

Recent talks in other threads got me thinking.  Let me give you an example.  This story would have not occurred had DR00 responded, "You dweeb coward, running from a fight", instead of "great flying".  

Just got me thinking.  This story is more about respect than anything else.  There were 13 pilots involved in this story.  Any that chose to comment, have done so with a great amount of respect towards the other pilots.  They could have just as easily been negative comments, which would have made this story a lot harder to tell.

Look at that 51 that was running from DejaVu.  Never heard DejaVu make any negative comment about that.  Nobody over 31 told me I was a coward for running.

I think there are a lot of these types of stories available, but they get tainted by someone who shows the pilots involved a lack of respect.

Respect and honor,....yes, they are definately here in large doses. <S> to all of you.  I look forward to the next story.
