-
Welcome....
I didn't get the pleasure of meeting or flying with KO, but from what I gather it was completely my loss.
...honored to have you around...
-
Can you see me on here right now?? I have no idea how this works
-
We can see that your on at the bottom of the screen, don't worry you'll become used to this. I hope our place can bring you some sort of comfort.
there are many KO stories to tell by many I'm sure.
-
Its weird seeing his name huh??
I find myself every night almost all night reading posts all you write about and all I do is cry
But it kinda makes me feel good, because he loved it and i miss him so much, I just feel likecomforted some ya know
-
It does feel weird, but in a good way!
Sue, ive played this game for 6 years, and i cant find a better group of people!!
Welcome aboard Sue.
God bless you and your family!!
Many of us have big shoulders to cry on, dont hesitate to use them!!
-
we know, and we share your pain, you have a home here, lots of decent people who care.
hope this brings some comfort to you. I hear your now in charge of the 68th, cause we all know falcon can't do it. just kidding

I see you Sue.:D
Your husband was one of the best this game has to offer. I was honered to know him and will miss him. Im sorry for your loss and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I so wish they didnt lock Bill out, where I couldnt hop in Falcons plane to join the memorial flight. I was so upset about that. Im honored, and Bill would have been so proud. I just wish I coulda been there, I went above and beyond to be there and i was locked out. But I did see the 5 min video, quite a few times, just hearing his voice....I cry!!! Whoever made it thankyou..and thankyou for honoring my husband in a great way!
If anyone has the whole thing or any of the chat Id love to see/hear it
I just dont know what to do
The wreath was beautiful that you all sent, it now rests on him where hes laid to rest. God I cant stand it!!!!!
Thank you all for being so nice.
My poor kids dont have a dad...it really is a sad thing cause he was such a good man.
-
Sue I'm looking thru film, when find anything that has bills voice on it I'll send it to ya.
Stay strong, call anytime if you wish, you have the number.
not far away, if ya need help just call
The AH community is second to none, when a fellow flyer needs help
-
Thanks Doobs...much appreciated.
Slash thanks for those kind words also!
-
Sue if your lookin to read about KO on the forums, go to the top of the page and hit search. then you can search 68KO for all posts. now keep in mind not all posts are happy ones, we do agrue amongst ourselves in here.
but its not personal, just for the game.
should keep ya busy for days, almost like Bill's diary
-
God I miss him!

I'd bet ya the AH community would do it again for ya, if ya want , least I could do. just so ya can really feel and see what its like.
but I'm only speaking for my self, but I'm pretty sure it could happen
-
I'm sure you do, we all do, but our pain fails in comparision to yours
Keep hold of the memory, Bill was loved and always will be

Gosh, if that isn't the understatement of the year :)
...
Mrs. KO, welcome to our crazy world... After you sift through a few pages worth of posts, I'm sure you'll come to appreciate us all and our weird senses of humor, and your husband's hobby more.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, and hope you find some things in those pages that make you smile and help you through this.
I didn't really know your husband personally, but I certainly knew his name. I doubt there's anyone who didn't. He certainly made a mark on this game, and will be missed.
-
By what ive read and see how you all felt about him, im sure youd make it happen again.
to you all who wears his avatar!!!
-
everyone speaks so highly of him i just keep crying
-
Bill loved this game! Im sure you all know that! I know he misses it, and us....He was way to young, Just know he respected you all.
You all are doing him proud. And knowing how well loved he was here,and reading what is said about him...helps me get through my my sleepless nights
-
now keep in mind not all posts are happy ones, we do argue amongst ourselves in here. but its not personal, just for the game.
Understatement of the year. You may or may not know my name, KO and I were not getting along at the moment. He is missed Personally, regardless of the small difference of opinion. Differences can be overcome, Losses cannot be.
Be well, my thoughts are with you and your loss.

your learnin already.
and between me and you, shh don't tell anybody, but your probably a better fighter pilot than KO/Bill, who said that. I guarentee your better than falcon, even if ya play blindfolded
and fair warning to the 68th, got a feeling your new CO 68Sue, will want a new paintjob on the planes, something in a mauve.
-
lol thanks doobs for making me laugh!
-
go get some sleep, a new day approaches.
look at it this way as soon as you figure it out, the sooner you command about 40 guys in the 68th.
not as glorious as it sound's I've seen pictures of them, wow not pretty.

68KO you still here?

Hey Doobs, WTH is wrong about mauve planes???? Its a pretty color!

No. Its his wife posting under his account.
Sue, I am glad youre feeling welcome here. I respect you much and think youre incredibly strong, the way you deal with all this. Again and again Im having tears in my eyes when i think about him - I can only imagine how you must feel. I know it has been said before - we all have big shoulders.... well be here if you need it. <> Sue.
PS: You might want to add a note to your signature, that it is you posting.... seing 68KO "back in action" could lead to confusion otherwise....

I will do the memorial flight again any time so just say the word and the virtual skies will be filled again with real friends ready to honor 68KO and his family as many times as it takes.

Mrs. KO
I usually fought against KO...a different in game country. Nice Gentleman.
I do mean Gentleman.
In a previous post above me you wrote "now my kids don't have a Dad"
Sue.....their Dad just moved to a better place from where he will influence their lives. They always will have a Dad. And guess what....he will be there 24/7 now! When they are at School,play,in bed, wherever they may be I will guarantee you he will be there....and he will always be their for them.
-
S! Sue,
I too flew against 68KO and his buddies. I rank him and the 68TH at the very top.
I am truly sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words to make it all better.
Drive on Sue!
We will never forget.
S!
-
Mrs. KO, I'm not sure how you are doing this. You have my utmost respect in how you are handling things. I never lost my wife, but I did lose a child a year and half ago. I wont say I know how you feel, but I know the pain of loss. My sympathy and condolences to you and yours.
I do not know where in this world you reside, but I do know that if you need it and somebody here can make it happen it will. These are great people. I only had the honor of flying with KO a couple times, but he was one of the first names I ever learned on this game. Great pilot, and a great man from everything I have heard. I was honored to participate in his memorial flight and would be happy to do so again if it is needed.
68KO
Let us know if you need anything.

Speaking from experience, I can only share that time is a great healer. The pain will fade, and the fond memories will be eternal.
Good luck to you.
-
Heya Sue, :D
chin up young lady. as wabbit said time will heal. i lost a daught not to long ago and know the pain. Bill would want you to be strong and i know its not easy right now not to be strong. use those memories of him to make you stronger. those memories are not there to make you cry. they are there to make you stronger.
i have flown with bill and have fought against him and the whole 68th, Bill was a great guy. was a great leader. him and falcon ran that squad ship shape and the LTAR's where always glad to have fought these fellas great group of guys the 68ths are. dont have much time but as doobs has said you are welcomed in this comunity for here on out. :)
-
Sue/68KO,
Thank you for shareing Bill with us these many years. His memory will not fade with us over time he is a legend here and always will be!
Nothing but respect!

Hi there Sue. Did ya get that mic problem figured out? A few folks were having trouble with it the other night so it probably was the game itself, anyway, welcome to the board.
-
<
> sue, welcome.....i flew a few of KO's missions, always alot of fun, i wish i had flown more missions than i did. the 68's are a great bunch of guys...except for that 68hall guy...he's seems like a rebellous one so watch him ..just kiddin hall :)
i couldnt never imagine what you and your children are going thru. and i dont know the right words to say to help ease your pain a lil. but what i do know is that this is a wonderful community to be a part of and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers and welcome to fly with any of us that you want. if you ever get on the game, and want some female company ( on this game its hard to find ) i'm sure i speak for all us AH girls when i say..just let us know, we would be happy to wing up with you anytime.

Welcome Sue,
Flew with KO quite a few times.
It's good to have you here with us.
If you ever begin the flying thing....I'm sure 68th would be your home. Since the squad I am in flies the same side I am sure we would cross paths. Speaking for the entire squad , we'll look forward to that.
Best Wishes to you and your kiddos and entire family.

Just watched the memorial video today, gave me chills. I never flew with KO but he sounded like a terrific leader.
Welcome Sue
-
Sue. Welcome.

Hello Sue
I always enjoyed 68KO when he was on...I remember one snapshot when we both flew bombers together..a real treat! we knew together we could give the "bad guy" a tough time..on this particulair run seemed all the fighters were attacking 68KO ..it was like "check 6" check 6 check 6! anyway together we brought down a bunch of the bad guys and together we made it back......I'm going to miss that man!
Sue I always fly Bombers and if your interested your more than welcome to join my bomber group and fly along as a gunner....I think 68KO might have liked that idea!
Sue Although we have no idea what its like for you...know many of us are sharing your pain.
to you and 68KO

Thank you for allowing us all the honor to do so. <> to you.
By the way, I think that we should do another memorial flight, just so that Sue can be a part of it. I think that is an honor befitting the kind of man that we all honor.
I guarantee that you can count on all in the VF-31 "Tomcatters" to be there again.
-
Sue,
I didn't get to make the memorial flight as I was between bases with a big move from Italy to North Carolina and was without my computer when the flight took place. I flew many times with KO and as I dig through hours and hours of film I will pay attention to see if I have anything with him on it. I miss him alot and hope God and this group of misfits in here helps you get through this. I you and wish you and your family well...

I can speak for my squad, they saw me cry after the video they support my efforts.
Whatever you need you merely simply ask for it and it shall be done.
Bills passing comes on the same day I lost a good friend and commerade in Iraq. God has a plan for both men.
Stay Strong, you are not alone

Sue,
It is a nice change and a credit to you that you are following our post's on KO. I'm not sure if you know what that means to us. I will miss KO as will many of us who knew him.

I had the pleasure of flying many scenarios with 68KO,
yes he was a great leader, and always showed patience with the new players, he will be missed by many
Welcome to AH Mrs. 68KO

Thanks to you all... I think Im hanging on to anything that he loved! I think its wonderful how many of you are honoring my husband. You have no idea how much it means to me and my kids.

We have you in our prayers.
Your husband was a gentleman and enjoyable to be around in the virtual world of AH2.
He'll be missed but never gone as he'll always be in our hearts and minds.

> Mrs 68KO. I flew several scenerio's and FSO's with KO, and he was a blast to fly with. Welcome to our little community.... and its alot like a family..... lots of good times, some bickering, some out right fights, but in the end, we all come together when needed. I was part of the first memorial flight, and will gladly participate again so that you can be a part of it.... The Unforgiven and The Unforgiven TW salute you and your family...

i would be in for another
and i think i speak for most of the clowns
as far as knowing him i didnt fly with him and didnt relly know him
but his name is probably the most familiar in game
there is one thing for sure
he made flying alot of what it is today
KO
condolences to you and your family MRS.KO
-
Thankyou again for all the kind words, at this difficult time for us. The more I read I can tell who cared about him and who didnt. (Maybe they dont know what a tragedy is) To me tho, it looks as if he was more liked then disliked... Anything you do to honor him or anything, please let me know as I want to be part of it.
to you all
Thankyou again to all of you know how he put his heart and soul into this game!
again to those who wear his avatar!!!!!!!!!!

I'd follow Sue anywhere. She COULDN'T be worse on the stick than KO, and we followed him everywhere too :D
-
Falcon could do it, but he needs a walker......... :aok
sorry Falcon .. that was just too much fun though
-
Mrs. KO understand that some these post were written after the heat of
a fight..
i flew i diff side than ko we had many fights he was a good guy he is and will be missed.if u want a another flight ask these guys maybe rough and nasty on these bbs but in their hearts 95% really do care for someone we only knew online if u need an account to sign on to i'll give u my password u can use my account to ride along godspeed to u and ur children in healing.

The walker is not needed because of my age... it is because of being KO's XO for some 6 years and helping him carry this bunch of misfits around :p

geez falcon the Vatican should be in touch about that sainthood thing shortly ;)
-
Sue,
for managing to keep your head up during this horrid time. I think it shows great courage and strength of character. I dont hvae a clue how u manage, because im pretty certain I couldnt. I congratulate you for that, and I think of it as an honour that you were still able to poop onto the boards to have a look. I am genuinly full of amazement how you can do that. I only flew with 68Ko once. My loss. Only now when he's gone do I wish that I had looked for him more often. He was a great guy, and I, inlike most people (i am aware im about to be killed for this) didnt know of the legends around him, and I thought of him as just another player. However the second he spoke on Vox, I could tell he was a brilliant guy. Only after hearing of the sad news did I start also hearing of the legands of 68KO. I wish I had seen more of him, and It was a privilage to fly fighter cover for him on that single mission together. I'll never forget it. I fly past and see 68KO deep in enemy territiory on his own in a T34 tank! What a man just for that! MrsKo and keep your chin up. And if life is really gettin you down, always remember that well known song (Don armour and bullet proof mask since the horde will cut me down for this) and I leave with these words. MrsKo and 68 KO
'Always look on the Bright side of life! *whistles* Always look on the bright side of life!'

MRS68KO
Mrs. 68KO,
I seriously doubt that there was anyone "who didn't care about him."
As mentioned previously, we have all posted in the heat of anger, defeat or at other times we should have been hitting a wall instead, but the guys in Texas who gave us the opportunity to play this game have brought together a bunch of guys and gals who are just super people.
I have flown with many of them since the old Air Warrior days, got to meet many at different cons, and I have come to the conclusion that even your "enemies" are really friends you just like to shoot down.
Condolences to you and the children. I am sure Bill will influence them as they grow from the lessons he had already tought them, and you surely have a lifetime of good memories to help you through this difficult stage of your life.
From myself as CO and the -=1st=- N.A.S.T.Y., post on...we will do our best to do what we can to help you in anyway possible.

wow I'd juump all over the chance to wing with ya chum ,
kills would got thru the roof. well mine would:rolleyes:
-
Mrs 68KO. I really wished I could have been at the memorial flight but work took me out of town and I missed it. If Doobs or anyone else wants to set up anouther one please let me know so I can attend the second one. It would be an honor to fly with you Sue.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I know Bill would be proud to see you flying with all his friends. If you ever need anything you know this is the place to ask.
God speed.
-
I didn't know 68KO. I'm not sure if I even ever fought him. I'm sure I've faced off against the 68th before (laws of inevitability). I have therefore not posted on these threads.
Finally, I felt I had to. I have been impressed with the 68th and the way they handled honering one of thier own and even more impressed that Ms. 68KO came here to share her grief.
to all of you.
BTW, whoever did the video did a great job. It was a fitting and touching tribute.

You can bet if theres Another flight that the CHawks will be there!
68Sue for staying strong through these Hard Times!
-
Yes, I was very distressed I couldnt make it to the first memorial flight, and I would very much like to be a part of another, should it take place. I remember he was a great part of the game, his missions legendary, and his dedication to teamwork outstanding. I really enjoyed flying with him and the entire 68th. Its nice to see someone carrying on in his name.
-
Dont forget to let me know on anything that has to do with my hubby Bill 68KO! Thanks everyone!
-
Happy to have you on board, Ms KO..
-
I don't know you & I didn't know him, but I am sincerely sorry for your loss & that of your children. Hold your head high & know that death is just the beginning of a much richer journey. Your husband seemed to have many friends here & after being here for two or three years myself I can honestly say having more than a couple people that really like you is a big accomplishment & speaks well of the person in question.
-
OMG i dont know what to say,( i took a leave of absense from game when and how?) i feel tears that wont stop, i met bill years ago when he was learning to fly in air warriors and the motleyaces brought him under our wing to teach him how to fly and bomb and he was a great pilot, when air warriors closed i lost touch with him (guess things like that happen) but when i downloaded aces high 2 years ago and was trying it out i ran into Bill again under 68KO we talked abit untill i realized it was MOTKO from the old AW days it was like seeing a long lost friend again,
i pray for you Sue and your children just know that you have a big community here as well as people you can call friends, Bill was and will always be my wingman in my heart and soul take care

but I have flown against others in the 68th.
Class acts all of them.
I assumed that came from the leadership.
KO recruited guys like him.

Damage Inc., Pigstompers will be by your side in any fight or give any advice if ever needed. Im sure you will not need our advice with the masses that have replied to your post and the Ko's will more than help you out. I miss 68Ko's voice already and tear up every time I think about him.
We are on channel 188 if you ever need us! <> To you for being strong, my family and friends thoughts and prayers are with you.
Just remember there are a lot of people that bill touched in this virtual world and his memory lives on and stay strong for you and your children.
I also want to warn you that not all people in here are the best of characters. You will just have to ignore the little gnats and they will whine and go away.
With much love from all my squaddies <>
