Fellow Warriors….

I have closed my AH account.    Since I am no longer a paying customer, my reasons are irrelevant.  I offer no explanation.

I would like to thank all those that I have flown online with / against over the past 11+ years. It was a wild ride and a real hoot! Good luck to one and all.

4510, didn't I bump into you last night where you were in a fight with an F4U piloted by Cobra412?

Strange, I had a conversation with Cobra412 later that night and he was contemplating unsubscribing too. I unsubscribed last night too.

I'm going to check out Pacific Fighters, the MA is a tragedy now. TOD might be good though, going to hang around for that.

Sad day indeed.  SOUP taught me the FW waaay back in the old AW days.  I remember when I was a newbie and accidently fragged him ... I never admitted to it but I think he knew it was me and let me slide ;).  Salute my friend, I hope to see you again soon!

Cya Up!

Thanks all for the nice words....

Maik... I still recall how your squad arrived in AW3 and chose JG27 as your name.... and how gracefully you accepted that there was already one... and changed to the Black Adders... Very Classy....


ROC...yeah has been awhile hasn't it? Lawd when did you first start?

Balsy... 1/2 gee... seems to me you've flown more than that.

GScholz... yes sir that was me...  fighting Cobra412.... he was a good fight..... until we ran into each other.....

Howitzer... thanks... appreciate the sentiment

Shane... I think AW3 came on around 1996 didn't it?  A bit longer than 5 years.... You're getting old dude.... WU is fine.. lives in his own crib ... boy is 23 years old now... hard to believe....  
Ran into us.. that wasn't ah.. when you were flying your F6 and WU and I were in 109Ks... and you ah.... "got lucky" ? Against BOTH of us at the same time...

Dawg.... Getting fragged by you... shoot almost an honor if that happened now.  Remember the friendly competition for squad honors tween the Nighters and the JGers...   Return... Never say Never... but I don't really envision it with the current game play ... I'll keep checking in on the board just to see how everyone is doing.

TC... Had some great ones we did.... back when that was the whole point...

Hornet .. back to you !

Stang... Looks like you are Geschwader Kommodore... don't let it die... build it bigger and better !  HORRIDO!

August... (laughs)  Was the air ever stale !

Soup,

First off dont be a stranger!    You know where to find us,  Pop over to Ops Shack anytime your free.  

Its sad to see this post,  even If I havent gotten to wing with you as much as Id like,  its always fun.  

Hey!  Remember the Days of the Mossie Possie!!   :)

If my Travels get me down in your neck of the woods,  Ill be sure to look you up  (beware BH is roaming the country side these days in a semi).  

I know all the CAF will take this as a blow,  You are and always shall be an honored CAF.   (remember we wont let you quit)  ;)

Oh, and if the urge hits you to fly again,  your always welcome.  :)

The Rooks are losing a good man.I have many fond memories from AW,and now AH,altho the AW memories are fondest because we had a tighter bunch of gents there.You skippered a great bunch with the 27th.
I wish you the best,and I hope they are able to get AH2 gameplay improved,so that you can return someday.

It's a CAF reunion  I'll drop by the OPS shack from time to time.  I mean if BH can drop in... and he is on the road all the time... I should be able to squeeze in once in awhile.

Filth

IronDog... nice words.... yeah the JG27 guys are pretty special.... Most have left AH as well.

68DevilM .. that is the attitude !  Keep it fresh and you can go a long time.  Good luck on trying to kill this lot tho.  Better bring plenty of your pelts that you are willing to lose! :aok

Oh yeah, month in and month out for a long time Mares #1 and JG27 #2 or visa versa in the FR Arena.  Actually, it was usually visa versa ;).  It was fun the times we pulled in front tho :).

I remember how we would salute you guys when you landed those 5-figure hops, then grumble to ourselves on private chat that we had to get busy!  All in good fun tho, and it made both squads better.

Lots of good memories in these Sims over the years ... and I'm sure a lot more in the future, I'll be look'n for ya ;).

Sergeant Major, I'm gonna miss seeing your type in the buffer. The Main Arena is lesser with your leaving. You may be moving on, but JG27 will continue to be a cornerstone of AH.
  As a fellow founding member of "The MAS", may I just say at this juncture that you were and remain, the most manly of fliegers!

Take care of yourself, Soup.

I recently unsubscribed for non-game reasons...last night, I saw a show on the History Channel about P-51's.  I couldn't handle the air combat withdrawals, anymore.  Re-subscribed again today.

Was the toughest (yet, most productive) week of my life.  lol.

See you on the rebound.

Karaya,

  Tks.. you're in a good group with the CAF... Keep knocking 'em dead...

Dawg,

  We enjoyed that competition... and would speak of you guys frequently.. but always in a positive manner... you know.. something like... "I'm positive those SOB Nightmares are trying to steal this camp from us!"  :rolleyes:

Anton,

  Don't tell me you've joined the non-flying crowd as well... Good luck lad.

bj229,  :D   If I've learned anything it is never say never... We'll see... but you certainly listed a lot of reasons why I wouldn't want to come back.

ODD,

Love ya like a brother... and to think I all but dragged you into flight sims... and now you are hard core flyer.  Lawd JD would never believe it.  Yes I shall stop by the Shack ! :aok

T-bolt,

I can understand... I mean I had a 7 month break when I moved to Germany with the Army back in '96.  I missed the community... but it is also (on-line gaming) habit forming.  Once one develops other habits it isn't the draw it once was.  More so if the product isn't as interesting.  Good luck with your return.

Mr. Foot... I stand guilty as charged... (but I also flew the FWs alot too ! )  Retired are you?  Have you tried IL2?  I just picked it up for about $25.  Loaded it and just watched the training video.  Pretty nice.  I might dink with it a bit off-line ... kind of like a nicotine patch ;)   Ween myself off flying slowly.  :lol

I too am sorry to see you go, yet I am not surprised. It has been a blast fighting with you and against you (back when we all had to switch sides to even things out). Things are very different now amongst this community, and this game.
Still, I have great memories and you figure prominently in them.
Be well
