Post by: vatiAH on February 09, 2004, 09:21:59 PM
I want to personaly thank everyone who flew with us in the CrzyHrse Memorial Flight tonight.   Thank you all.   I also would like to thank the crew at Hitechcrations for allowing both EDO and myself 2 week trails and also allowing us to have our call signs back for the event.    A big to you all.    I also want to thank Hajo for originizing this event and also for allowing me to fly lead.  Thank you Sir        Just one more tonight, and that goes to my friend  Rick Siep.    

Rick ..you will be missed

OUTKAST - Here is the film (http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/ah_52_1076383332.zip).  No bullets fired.  Although 88mm cannot be seen in the film, it *did* happen.  My apologies for attracting the flak.

Thanks for the film Octavius, I couldn't join due to recent surgery, so the ride was nice, and you got shot down with all your ammo onboard.

Vati thanks for coming back and taking the lead.  EDO also, thanks for rerturning for this event.  Also...The Flying Circus for taking time to change to Bish and fly with their old squadmates.

To the BOPS a BIG !  CrzyHrs, I and Condor flew with them in AW.  Falc thanks for your squads participation.  BOPS always have been a class act.

I'd like to thank also my fellow Bishops for their full participation and cooperation with this event.  Shows why we stay Bish.

I would like to thank also, those who changed sides to participate. For the kind words, and an awesome display on the text buffer of respect for a fallen member of the AH Community.

The salutes seemed to go on forever on the text buffer.

And last but not least.  Thanks HTC, Dale, Skuzzy et.al for making this possible.

Knowing Rick.....his words... if he saw this tribute.  Holy watermelon Hajo!
Would you look at that!

Rick.....I'll cya up!

I was really sorry to have missed this, but it was the early hours of the morning for me - had it been weekend, I maybe could have stayed up, but no way with work next day.  If anyone has a film, I would be very interested to see it, and if you could send it to ah@flossy.co.uk it would be greatly appreciated.

I missed the flight as well,  but I did watch Octavious's film.   It looked like a very nice tribute.  

I am also impressed with HTC for the assistance to Vati and EDO.   That level of cooperation is not something you would see from a large corp.   Actions always speak louder than words and its apparent that the customer is very important to HTC.

Again Mine and My squads best wishes to Ricks family and friends.   I think Ill just read "High Flight" and reflect.  :)

Hajo Nice job putting the flight together. I upped from Knight land and got to Bish HQ just as flight was over. I flew around Bish HQ.......Strange with all those Ponys around checking out my 38....... And RTB to 22. WTG guys makes me remember is more then Just a Game. I have made friends here I have never met. May crazyhorse rest in peace and join our fellow 479th Raiders IMD1 and BOLS.

Crims thanks for participating....479th a great group always.

About the two fallen members of the 479th, and CrzyHrs.  They're probably winging as I type this :)

I'm glad that you guys were the first to try and bring back a great old Air Warrior tradition - the Memorial Flight within the main arena.  I was a Rook P-51 that was 1/2-way to joining the flight when AmReo shot me down unopposed over Bish territory.  My subsequent attempt was too late.  :(

to CrzyHrse.  I wish I could've been there.

Wld,

I logged on and noticed Octavius near a 190 that was attacking the field near HQ.  The 190 shot down a couple planes while I upped and I  followed.  The 190 got shot down right off and I headed after the 51 (Octavius) that was nearby.  I did not know that there was a memorial flight going on and he was a part of it.  After I shot him down I was told about the flight and I immediately contacted Octavius and apologized.    I further apologize to the community for my mistake but it was just that a mistake

lol, wasnt a problem :D  Saved me a few minutes of landing.  Actually I was diving to one of the Bish bases where the 200 some P51s were landing.  Thought I'd mosey on in and get chewed up by ack while attempting to land.  Death or death - I chose death :)
