Last post I saw from him with a quick search was around July 2004 for him.

So...
- we lost the big maps as arena split into two Late War maps (most populated, and with frustrating, squad splitting, arena caps), and 1 Mid-War and 1 Early- War map were so called "milkrunners" go to run up their scores.

- scores are mostly meaningless now.

- there was a popular vote for the next plane addition: the Ben Afleck fan club pulled out in the end.  Sanjaya wun.

- A couple plane additions, some remodeled flight models, Sherman Firefly tank was added.

- new map texture controversy.  Gone threw at least 1 adjustment since then.

- Sheep were gone.  Sheep are back.

- HT's RV8 was added as a plane for a convention.  Still available at times in some online maps at some fields.  Unarmed since the convention (twin miniguns on it then), but still a fun plane.

- numerous calls for B-29 and nook.
- numerous calls for floatplanes and flying boats and subs
- numerous calls for parafrags, napalm, land mines, and efforts to turn AHII in Grand Theft Airplane.

It's like a soap opera....miss three years, you are caught up in one episode.

Log in, fly in each arena and you are done.

The only real change is that no one whines when you shoot them down now.  They take it like men.   You never see anyone crying "HO" or "cherry picker" or "You ganged me" anymore.......

:)

JB88 - noun,
(jay-bee-ate-ee-ate.)

a pilot with leet skillz and ninja BB capabilities.  a member of a squad whose dedication to the game manifested in a type of discipline and sacrifice that went beyond the average squad and into the unequivocal.  it was never easy being a JB, but it was extremely rewarding.
IMHO, the JB's are one of the great and memorable squads in the history of flight sims.  ask anyone who has been here for more than a year and they will tell you that...ask anyone who flew with them, who took a number, and they will tell you that...JB is an original AW squad btw.

i have not joined another squad since my return.  (though someone has tried to convince me otherwise...hint hint...)

as for your question...

AFAIK, the JB's are not extinct, they are simply waiting for hell's gates to be re-opened so that they can once again reign supreme over the 1/2 wits and dweeb monkies that make up the general population in the mains...

;)
