The dead mans hand. That was the 2 pair that Wild Bill Hickock was holding when he was shot in the back of his head.

If it was a mute from a Mod, you may have said something else to attract their attention.
If it was an automute, I'd say because HT programs the text filter.

What was the context of the quote?  Just typed it in MA, no automessage (so can't be "messpeeling" :P), no mute.

He checks in at this forum (http://www.airwarrioronline.com/community/index.php?topic=172.0) once in awhile.  He claims he will come back to AH someday.

I got to wait till my dad finds a disk...
sounds like a kid. this guy was an older vet from from what i remember (the Acesand8 i knew), i could be mistaken though.

That was the way his ID was spelled in AW.   His ID in AH was Acesand8.  His "dad" bzrd is a retired naval flight instructor, his brother sapo was a submariner IIRC, and aces has a kid of his own.

Yup 2 pair.

Visited Deadwood, if I get the chance I have a pic of the chair he was sitting in.
It is now displayed over the bar entrance (exit really, its on the inside).

Down the street is a sign showing where they caught the guy that shot him (McCall).

Yeah I flew with, and against Ace and SAPO. I remember Aces telling me he was going to WB, that was 4 or so years ago.. Hasn't really come back since then, from what I know..

Great bunch of guys though..
