In Aces High, it happened just a few days ago, actually.
I don't know the base number, I don't know the chess piece pilot.
I do know I was in a low Spit Mk 1, and managed to fend off a C. 205 for near on 7 minutes, with his Chess piece (I know it wasn't knights! Cause I'm a knight! I think!) guys screwing up our base. Me and him floating around the top of the sector, me trying to work my way back to allys with him trying to pick me off.
I had extended West to head away from the furball, get some alt, and come back. I know that's about the only way for a Spit Mk I to get more than a kill, atleast for me. I don't know who it was, and we didn't land any bullets in each other. But I salute him, I thought I was a gonner.
In real life, so far, managing to Graduate High School, actually. I know it's not a huge deal, but to me it's important. I've never been the brightest bulb. So much so my family thought I was gonna drop out. I had to prove them wrong. Just to make them look bad.
In hindsight, is it bad that I think my AH Greatest Moment is 10x cooler than my Real Life one? Atleast to me...
-
The birth of each of my 3 daughters will always rank the highest.

I took a really cool picture of a broom once.

Picking up my wife. I was trolling Waikiki Beach and there she was, reading a book and wearing nothing but a bikini. I probably walked at least a mile of that beach and she was the one I wanted to talk to. I walked by her three times before she looked up from her book and made eye contact. We’ve been together ever since. I/we are pretty happy with these three as well:

Then mine is yet to come.
that day when I become world emporer and have executed people who change the rules of a question thread halfway into the thread.
Untill that time. My greatest moment to date isnt just when I discovered my PP.
But what my PP was for.
And that sure beats out any olympic trials any day of the week :D

I first thought he said "greatest MOVEMENT" too :rofl
me... in my own mind a song I wrote maybe, it felt so good to hear how it turned out... but maybe only I think it's good.
other than that nothing really great has happened to me that I can think of.

i also had the privledge of driving in ronald reagan's motorcade in the 1988 election. he was campaining for bush in macomb michigan and my mother was very active in the party at the time so i got asked to do it. (i almost wasnt able to because most of the cars were rentals and i wasnt quite old enough...another guy switched) i was there in the event someone needed a ride along. nobody did. i was like 10 cars back or something, but it was absolutely amazing.
i got checked out and briefed by the secret service the night before and then we picked him up at selfridge the next day. i was that cold miserable late fall drizzly.
the presidential limo was parked right next to my car while they waited for air force one to arrive and i remember the green of the glass vividly. i wasnt raised military so the f-15's and the big hercules parked behind it were pretty awesome i might add.
air force one was beautiful ...showroom polished shine.
then he came out, waved...and we drove.
FAST.
we took the interstate for a part and all along the route the traffic was stopped on the opposite side, which was only divided by concrete dividers. the looks on peoples faces as we passed were priceless. a wholly different view of america from what i had known.
met jack kemp that day too.
anywho. rally is running late and i am supposed to work that night at bennigans (how i got through college...restaraunts). i didnt have a phone (they werent common then, and the secret service let me use the phone from one of their black explorers...looked pretty normal so they must have hid the Sams in the back...maybe it was a low tech one...dunno.)
so i called work. i explained my situation but they were unimpressed and told me that i would be in trouble if i was late. whatever bennigans...whatever.
as we all prepared to exit and follow, the limo drove by us again and there he was, through that thick green glass...waving as he passed us by.
i can see it as if it were this moment.
that was a pretty good moment. not alot of things have been close since...if any.
p.s.-
- ya, i was late. but i was wearing a very nice pin with the seal of the president on it in place of one of thier stupid peices of flair. and i told them where to shove it shortly thereafter.
p.p.s. - my mother has a great picture of the two of them shaking hands. in it they are both laughing. how totally her.
she said that he was funny...and that his hands were very soft...old people soft...but warm
a pretty awesome moment in her life too i'd suspect.
-
Tough to decide between the day I heard the words "The court finds that it is in the best interests of the child for the father to retain custody. The mother will be assigned to pay child support... " and the day that I married the She Devil. Those would be a tie.

Most of us with kids will relate our best moments to them. I have 4 but one of them has gone ahead of me to the next life. Reuniting with him will be better than anything I ever experience here.
-
The greatest has to be the one that made me happiest I suppose and my recent marriage to my childhood sweetheart would have to be it. If it can't include your kids or spouse then that greatest moment has never arrived for me. I have a lot to look forward to.

I didn't want to hijack the thread but it's worth repeating that people are the only things that really matter in this life imo.
I appreciate your kind words. Here's the story if you care to read it.

in all seriousness... define "greatest"
The best times in my life have revolved around my children... nothing else comes close to some of those... unless you have kids you simply can't understand.
Times of personal achievment? I have won boxing matches that mattered and ones that didn't... I have won races that mattered and that didn't.. steet racing and in front of crowds... athletic and academic.. I have built houses and cars and done gunsmithing and carved ivory.
Looking at my life.. I doubt that any could guess which things made me feel the most achievement and which I consider pretty dull and lifeless.

Awww, lazs has a soft, tender side; a woman's touch, if you will, when it comes to kids. :D
Ah, I feel pretty much the same way. Greatest moment is every day with my daughter. Everything else is just 'stuff' I've done.

All of the times when my boys (who usually fight with one another) stuck together against the neighborhood bullies ~ each of those times it's been pretty awesome.
When TxDad came home from a year in Korea ~ that first weekend was perfect.
When TxDad came home from a year in Egypt ~ that first weekend was perfect.
When TxDad came home from Iraq both times ~ that first week was perfect both times. One of those times is when I was able to take a picture where all three sons had genuine smiles of happiness. Usually there's one sour face in every picture. Not that day though. :)
When TxDad retired ~ every day after that has been perfect.

Oh my, that was just in March… Vicariously, that was tough to read; I just can’t imagine how much harder it must be when it’s your own child.
As long as I’ve been a parent I don’t think a day has gone by that I haven’t feared losing one of my children. When they were little the concerns were choking or poisons. Now it’s running out in traffic or climbing too high up trees or whatever. My parents were just visiting and my mother asked if I carry an ID while I bike ride… I suppose you never stop worrying. You’d think that you’d get a break when they get past the teenage years, I guess not though.
I agree 100% that the important people in your life are all that really matters.
Again, I am truly sorry, and at the same time thankful for what I have.
BTW, I don’t think it’s really possible to hijack a JB88 thread.

:( Seems like an unbearable grief.

We were close and I miss him every day. It's not just a cliche that you don't fully appreciate what you have until it is gone. I have faith he is well and I will see him again. I have sorrow for those without this belief.
One of his last pics made with his girlfriend.
