Say you were to win powerball or the lottery (50 million).
Would you do anything for specific members or friends in the AH community?
Me...I think I would take 100k out of the 50 million, and give out twenty five, $5,000 dollar scholarships to members of the community to get their private pilots license.
Would anyone else do anything like this, if you came over this insanse sum of money over night?

Maybe give you $5K for a math tutor?
:D

LMFAO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
wow im retarded

Worst part is, I edited it before posting because my math was off the first time. lmao :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

PPL idea is grand, I'll commit to something like that. I'll ask wifey to go get a ticket now.

I know. When I clicked "quote", I got a different post with a different math error! Took me a second or two to realize I caught it exactly when you edited it, but that you still had an error.
Everybody has days like that. Sometimes it seems like I have them every day.:t

We have a lot of pilots in our squad... I'd probably by a 'community' flugwerks 190a8 and pass it around at reunions. Then I'd Buy Hitech a bottle of scotch and a bottle of aspirin for the headache or two I have given the boy on the BBS.
-
I would be willing to pay for a LARGE convention center, and charter say 10-12 757's and have them go to the large hub cities Chicago, Baltimore, New york, LA and the like to fly in subscribing AHII players for the largest AHII convention EVER. All you would have to do is get to one of the planes. Might even send a few over seas so for our players around the world can show up.
Hotel rooms are on you guys though:rofl
-
It would be way easier and cheaper to give all applicants free first class tickets to and from the con city and hotel rooms and meals at the con city.
If I won, I'd buy a B-25 and fly it around to airshows where you guys could slobber over it. ;)
-
Cav.. Frankly I'd buy my in game friends a good gaming rig with CH gear and start a foundation that gave a college scholarship to the younger players based on gpa and a competition held each year. I figure the rigs would set me back about 100k and the scholarship could be set up with an amount where the interest would pay for a 4 year ride to most state schools.
This would be done anonymously as I wouldn't want to be treated any different because of my financial status than I am today. I'd prefer to be treated as one of the guys and not some rich dude that has a philanthropic personality.
-
Even better, do the PPL trick anonymously.
Set up an escrow, have a shade account announce it and work through HTC to correlate real folks w/ handles on the BBS.
-
Well, if I still had interest at AH at that point, I'd make an offer for HTC that they couldnt refuse. Then I'd hire on more people. I'd make the game the way I wanted it.
-
I'd buy a camera and send you all pictures of my new lifelong vacation trip.

Tell you what..
If I win I'll buy it and let you fly me around.
:)
-
Deal! You can be the gear monkey! ;)
-
I'd buy out Hitech and appoint myself King of the BBS.
Skuzzy? Pffft, you ain't seen nuthin yet!;)

I'd start a deprogramming center for Faux News zombies.

What about the Communist News Network kool-aid drinkers?

I like this new guy. :aok

I'd buy some friends some new rigs to play on. (AH too)
I'd get Furball a new set of teeth.
I'd buy Stang some golf lessons and a class on toughness.
I'd buy Edbert a larger micro brewery set up so he could keep me in good beer.
I'd pay off WoW to kick Lev out so he'd come back and play AcesHigh.
I'd get Superdud and Megadud a hooker, each, so they'd know what it is like to get laid.
I'd buy Checkers a new magic 8 ball to help decide when he is next canceling his subscription.
I'd buy Mars a new Sukoi.
I'd buy Haxxo and Flub classes on "It's ok to be a sensitive man".
I'd buy Slappy a new Porsche.
I'd buy Morph some flight lessons and maybe give him his own 172.
I'd probably (with HTC's permission) pay for an employee to model a couple of planes I'd like to see in game.
Lastly, I'd buy a TF-51D, F4u (mine only), B-25, and A-26 and hire Toad as director of Flight Ops so we could all have fun at cons. Maybe even have some city competitions where the B-25 and A-26 go and pick up people from the cities that win and haul them to the Con. Oh, and Furball (after his teeth are fixed and he looks like Ben Aflack) would probably be allowed to be copilot of one of the buffs.

Quit reading my mind! (damn ewe, MT! :))

Don't forget a nice pimped out Honda Civic for Lazs2. Neon, stickers, roof spoiler, the works.
-
I'd give HTC 250K to install a vox filter to lower everyone's voice 1-2
octaves. :D
-
I'd startup a "National Warbird Training Center" as a center of excellence for training folks on how to fly our rigs. As a side shoot to that, I'd appoint Widewing to re-engineer the jigs for the F-14, F4U, F6F, P-38, P-51, A-26 and others. I'd give Bodhi a blank check to start building a production line of R-2800's, V-1710s and V-1650s from new molds instead of the sand casts they were in originally. We'd sell those to support the center of excellence, and as a bonus, have engines around for the Reno guys since they are guaranteed to blow one or two up.
But most importantly, Nielson would engineer 115/130 Octane refining operation so we don't have the MP restriction on any of those engines with 100LL.
That would be my dream.

I would go and kick bodhi in the nuts.
:D
-
Nope :)
-
It was just his plan to keep most of the money!!!
Lets get him!
;)

Maybe instead of GPA, you should base it on something much more meaningful and which is held by all in the highest respect - their rank in AH!
Running and ducking for cover . . . :D
