Title: <S> and hello to the AH community
Post by: 475FG Savlan on November 09, 2006, 02:44:55 PM
Hello all,

Just wanted to formerly introduce myself & my squad. We have been flying together for almost 10 years in Warbirds as the 475FG, and have decided to make AH our new home.  We have made many great friends over at WB, and look foward to making many more here.  

We are a historic P38 squad, and will be flying with Twinbooms 475FG as 2 squads under the 475FG banner.  I want to take this opportunity to publicly give a big to Twinboom, Killnu, CorkyJr, Treize, Fugi and many other members of the AH community that have not only gone the extra mile to make myself & my squad feel at home during our transition, but were so understanding & open to my group keeping their long established 475 identity.    

I flew AW waaaay back on Genie as #1174, then in EAW as the 56FG on Kali & the MS zone.  We are a bunch of old hands at simming, but still learning the ropes with all AH has to offer, so bear with us as we learn the ropes :)

Blue skies,
Joe Savlan

Welcome to AH Savlan and 475th. :)  I remember your squad from my WB days way back when. Good to have you aboard. :aok

Did you guys fly S3's over there? If so you might enjoy Friday Night Squad Ops. Its very similar.

Welcome.  

I see you have already met up with CorkyJr.  I am sure he will be able to provide enough spare parts for your birds for a long time.  Uh, if you dunt mind them being a bit bent up and with the occasional bullet hole in them.  :D

BTW I still have that P38 hanging in my living room :)

Welcome 475th! It sure was fun flying with you and against you in Warbirds (eh = snofox). You guys are a class act (except for baddcat hehe ) and I look forward to seeing you in Aces High.

BTW, savlan is one helluva movie maker. Google him, go to his website and download "The Gauntlet". You will NOT be sorry. Here's hoping that he uses these talents in AH also.

EDIT:Go here for the film http://www.savlan.com/475fg/videos/the_gauntlet.wmv

Are you suggesting that my 38 parts shouldn't be bent, folded and mutilated? :)

Just for the record, i caught Savlan in a Corsair last night.  38 pilots, i tell ya.  Can't trust em for a second!

Now if I can only get em to come down a bit and fight....er...and ....die in the weeds with the 80th guys, we'll be just fine:aok

So is Dawger, aka "The compleat and utter b@st@rd"

Hes mellowed a lot though, I just pray he hasn't discovered 200 yet...

Its been great seeing you guys in the air again and wingin with you occasionally, and especially great to have more Lightning Drivers in here.

Just remember, in the event you run across one of us flying for another chess piece, don't shoot the '38s with green trim :D

Are you suggesting there is some sort of problem with the way I parked my 38?

It looks perfectly fine to me :)
