I know there are quite a few here in AH, I'd like to know what handle you used when it was CK, Pre-version 1.11 please only. Some of the best times I had in WB's (CK) was when some of these "old-timers" gave me a lesson or two (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I started in V.82 or V.87, can't remember which, I DO know that we had a 'Blue' country for a while, we had to telnet in,and the Zero would catch the P38 in a dive easily, the spit was unflyable, and fights with "Torq", "8-bal" and "Corn" was always a training experience for me.

I took the handle "spot" unfortunatly, some guy who was an oscar had used it before me,after learning why guys were so eager to clobber me, I wisely became the Semi-invisible PZVG, who has always been around but no one seems to remember (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I remember ya PZVG, I also remember "spot", I think "spot" became "Manoc" here in AH and disappeared as soon as we went "Pay". Say, do you remember the name of the guy that used to "sing" alot on open channel, and talk about how good the wine was while he flew? hehe, he was too funny!

Well, I used to be farm, a long time ago. Then farm died in a flying mishap, and Gazoo showed up.
I will start flying AH again, as soon as the W2K mouse bug is fixed.

I shouldn't post here (only flew WB from 2.4 to 2.6)... but I just have to reply to YO (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Yes Doc, I flew Falcon 1.0 on a friends Mac (5 mb HD, monochroom screen, no joystick)
Was awed by it tho (was back in 1988 or something like that) Holobyte realy started the extensive manual, realistic sim thing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I started in 1.08 (or .09) - late 1995? Don't remember now. Times when Dora was 600lbs underweight and 38 flaps didn't induce any drag. Flew as 1ynx until WB 2.0 came out. Corn was always "that Gold pony up there" about to drop down and kill you...

I did some early CK as "terr". Been quite a while though.

I started reading some of the info, websites and posts (didn't somebody have a old Newsgroup or something then?) about WB's in the "CK era".
I actually flew a little (sucked horribly, and was nothing more than vulch bait) in 0.99, and then for pay, shortly in the early 1.0X versions but couldn't afford it for long while in college.
My next account was in the 1.06 to 1.07 era, and I had that account up until about 3 weeks ago.
I almost felt like I was killing an old friend when I canceled that account. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Flew WB from .9something until 2.0 came out. Was on the closed beta team for 2.0, but lost interest when 2.0 was no longer compatable with NT 4.0. My id was thun and later changed to thdx (1.11).
As for Falcon 1... I was playing it on my Tandy SL1000 in 88. There was a pc version out there... I know it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) In all its 4 color glory. Needless to say I was first in line when Falcon 3.0 came out (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Greets Rip..
13th TAS came to CK from AW DOS in v0.84 if i remember correctly. My handle was dog1. When we dropped the DOS FE and went 3D i took the handle --wd--. And still have this handle to this day in Warbirds. I am keeping my 2 WB account open till i see WB 3.0.
But i only fly HA & S3 events there now. Love what HT and the boys are doing here and where he wants AH to go. Very impressed with the HTC crew. As well as flying with us & updates regularly,i get a ton o kills from clearing his 6 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

First started out in Warbirds on my Mac sometime mid to late 96. I believe it was version 1.09 or 1.10. I flew as UB86 up until v2.0 when you couldn't use numbers anymore. I switched to Wicked cause I liked how it sounded, nobody else had taken it, and there were no other variations that I saw. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I switched to PC almost exactly 3 years ago and never looked back. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Before Warbirds, I flew Mac Air Warrior for a long time. I usually flew as Ajax or Jax as you could pick your handle everytime you flew. I was going to be Ajax in Warbirds but someone had already taken it by the time I came in.

Uhh I flew CK beta under vlcn then some wierdo bug made me use -vlkn- in WB now I'm Vulcan.
Same difference really.
I miss the CK Uber-Zeke. Climbed like an X-15, dived from 20k without compression, could pull 30G turns on a dime, cannons that an A10 would be envious of.
Anyone remember the time they rolled out CAPICIs when there was a con on? Wonder if there are any hidden here?
-vlkn- in

Vulcan I remember the CAPICI"S! I was nursing a nice streak,when this bat out of hell came down and blew me away with ease.I was a little pissed. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
What were they flying?Comets?
Do you remember the super zekes from one of the cons?I think they had FW guns?
Also I remember deft and I flying in the special Tuskegee event,and getting our bellybutton kicked by some of the Tuskegee guys.
H/T & Pyro any plans to run another event with these guys?

Started about version 0.87 or so as 'Cob1'
I had previously flown on the AW Ozhost as 'Cobra', but in CK all the best variations of that name had already been taken.
Moved over to 'Jekyll' when 6 letter ID's became available in version 1.1 or so.

I started in WB 1.0 as "leph".. maybe 1.01? Well before 6 letter ID's anyway. I managed to miss beta by a month or so. d'oh.
It's cool how many folks I recognize from the "old days". (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
BTW, Captain ICI was a little model of a super-hero type dude with a cape. Uh.. except he had a gun. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) It was possible to kill Cap ICI, just really tough since he was a tiny little target. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I never did get him, but I think Eagl or one of my squaddies pegged him once. <G>

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"
