Well, I don't think I could do much more than I have done and continue to do in AH - but I also come from AW and have fond memories of it.  I certainly 'talk about this game' on a daily basis!  :)

I dont post here but since it's about AW I tought I would try to give it a shot.

Was flying AW a lot, did begin in the early days when we had no internet, cost me a lot I tell you.

Yes at the end I was only flying Fighter town, that was the place to learn and get better or die. I died a lot there but learned a lot.

To talk about some good stick like Krusher said :

Mc2 (he was flying spit IX mostly if I remember right)
Rotor (nice 38 driver, he got me a lot)
Drano (Hard to beat)
Buzz(think buzz has passed away, not sure but I read it somewhere, miss that guy so much, I fought against him a lot in his 109 at early hours, what a gent )
and HR to name a few (Did I ever talk fight that guy, sorry HR :))

One I cant really remember (handle) kicked bellybutton over all of them, he was flying 38, this guy was awesome to say the least.

Not to put a nail on you Shane but I never saw you in Fighter Town, would've liked :).

Rocketman was the dude in the big blue, man I think I got him only once in a 2 years leaps.. hehe.

This was the time I learned to fly and respect a lot of good stick.  Had a lot of helped me out, we were one kind of a breed, that miss me a lot.

I also miss that time but life has to on, and on I am, learning new skills in this game (It's so different).

I am willing to learn to get better but take it with a grain of salt. At my age I always try to learn to have fun and not turn everything so serious, it's only a game isnt it ?

Oh, my handle was Blues then and I wasnt a threat, like today.

Sorry for my english since it is not my native language.

Just wanted to share with you all there :)

Have a nice day all.

might've been before i was there... i was there in FT on and off the last 18 months or so... you might or might not recall a cpid of Oopsy (not OOps)...

the 38 pilot was probably +dead, aka, silk, aka many other handles aka our very own leviathn... or maybe kitty? those two often flew together.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

ANyone know what happened to Gene? Gene had been a goon pilot for real in the war. I know he was still flying when I packed up and came over here a few months before AW died.

Please, dont feed the trolls.  No reason to argue that mabey AW wasnt the best graphicly based MMOL game, but it was the first.  No reason to mention that mabey AW wasnt the best ever online flight sim, but it was the first.  No reason to argue where other sims would be if their developers hadnt played AW.  We all know that stuff anyways, we were there.  No reason at all :)

There can only be one best at a time I suppose, but AW ran for so long, it would be hard to nail down who that would be out of the long list of alumni.  Dark9 and I were throwing 'great pj' names at each other for like 20 minutes last night lol.  In my early days there was a pony pilot Stevn (no, not Steve) that dominated for awhile and dissapeared.  Years later I asked what ever happened to that guy?  Not one person in the arena ever heard of him, lol.

That reminds me of one of my first experiences in AH.  Some guy rammed me and got the kill before he died.  
He was like "Yeaaaa, I killed Murdr".  
Murdr:"Huh? You rammed my wing off?"
"I was never able to get a kill on you in AW"
lol

I remember flying with Stevn as we'd set up shop above B83 for the brief time he was a Czlander.  We had a good hunter/killer team going, me in the P-38 and Stevn in the P-51.  I'd swoop down and get them to turn and he'd come in and bag them as I stalled them out.  Then one day he just left AW4W when most of the squads left for AW2 and I had assumed he had gone there, guess not.

Anyone remember JG42 (a.k.a. Stinky)?  She was one damn fine P-38 driver in AW4W, even got me to ditch the FW190A-8 that I started in to make an effort to learn the P-38.

Yes, unfortunately, Buzz passed away earlier this year.    He is sadly missed.  :(

Yeah he's the same ol Blues we knew back then. I've flown with him a couple of times here. Great seeing him around. I've prolly seen most all of the old FT crowd here in AH at one time or another.

As to the dominant P-38 driver I'd have to guess that'd been +Dead/Cilk/ "I can't believe he's not Fabio". He'd often times wipe up the arena and make it look easy. His AH incarnation is Leviathan. Guy never ceases to amaze me. I miss his old wingie Kitty too. She was a trip!

P.S. How the hell did I make his list? You guys all know I suck bigtime.:D
