Last weekend my brother was in town, he is a big time plane lover and flies regularly out of his flying club. Well he wanted to try AH and see what it was like. I took him into the H2H rooms under my current callsign ANUBIS66. After 2 hours of flying he was in love, granted he sucked in the beginning but was able to start getting a couple kills per sortie. I taught him how to use the open channel and that is where he was cracking up laughing. There are some guys in there that just like to run their mouths, saying he sucked and what not so I would jump in grab a ride and promptly go on nice killing streaks, funny how the chatter stopped and soon the gang bang would commence.
He is hooked, the H2H rooms he will be flying in, not sure if he will ever make it into the MA but it was great actually converting someone who had been mainly a MS Flight Sim guy.
