:salute To our Finnish friends.
-
I'll be there, again... but don't let that keep you away ;)
Who will be the next brave European (non-Finn) to participate? :cool:
Who will the the 1st brave American? :rock
-
IN :rock
Hope to see some brave non-Finn's there too :aok
-
looks fun :aok

The best surroundings for a con i have yet to visit, nice view to the lake and awesome cottages with sauna's.
Also plenty of room for the meeting, with separate lounge and room for the people who like to shred games like Guitar Hero etc.
Last year we visited the last remaining Brewster at the museum, and we were granted a close look for the restoration project.
Next meetings trip is still unannounced , but i am sure Sasmox and the guys will come up with something awesome also.
Only downsides i can think of is that the meeting should last at least a week, and someone should nerf the hangover what's bound to take over some day. :devil
Now get your application forms for long weekend pass from your wife or plan to go AWOL, book your flights now, this is something you don't want to miss !
Special award for the ones who got the most air miles from the trip to the Con (This is my voucher, let me know who is coming so i can prepare the award) :salute
-
You guys throw the best parties! :D
repeat please :D
-
As Easycore said you throw the best parties. From the pictures you post it makes me green with envy.
Also....you gents are a pillar of the Aces High Community. You should be proud of what you add to Aces High.
I know I appreciate your participation. BTW you've got other players in Aces High who want the Buffalo
as badly as you do. I am one. We need early war aircraft in-game badly for snapshots and scenarios.
Enjoy your Spring Meeting Gents. If I were allowed I'd send a bottle of my favorite (Crown Royal) for you to
waste at your meeting. ;)
-

I'm afraid it is not allowed to send it by mail, but you can take as much as you wish with you, if you deliver it personally. Welcome! (also without it, but rather with...) :rock
-
You Fins are :aok in my book!
Looks like a lot of fun. Hope you have a great time!
-
Allways fun event. Maybe in, maybe not. :salute
-
Hmmm... I wonder if we might get an "Evil Con Mission" with Brewsters in March :lol
Who all from HTC are going to attend the meet? :devil
-
Now that i am starting to think i might survive the after effects of last weekends Urban Blitz, i would like to remind all of you that the next meet here is just around the corner.
Who are the brave pilots from all around the world, who come to claim their rightful share of Awesomeness and FPO ?
Yes, you Sir back there, i am looking at you :salute
-
Registration will open soon...

You guys HAVE to promise the AH forums community the following this year:
1) That all our Suomi brothers will have fun and keep us updated!
2) That you get together as country groups, and let the rest of your countrymen know where you are--so we can film what happens when you guys drink 2 litres of vodka and try to fly!
3) That you promise NOT to post films of nekkid Finns going to the sauna, and then going skinny dipping--and then grabbin' each other's nekkid backside and snappin' each other's nekkid backside with towels like last year. WE ARE OUT OF EYE BLEACH!
Have Fun! (Except for the nekkidgrabbassin stuff).

Calculates cost from Texas to there..... :O
-
Remember to include in the calculations as last line:
"Hanging around with awesome likeminded (or mindless, go figure) people enjoying their hospitality and company" = Priceless :devil
-
lol yup must include that too :)

That is true. Finnish AH-pilots are best group i´ve ever hanging with :salute
I can promise you finnish AH-meeting is worth every cent, so skip your usual holidaytrip and spend your money to the real thing!
-
OMG !!! :aok
-
Calculates cost from Texas to there..... :O
It only costs money, and they print more every day... And if paper money gets worthless, Fort Knox is the place to visit late at night to get your ticket.
-
Of the many Finnish cons, this is definately the best every year. The multi-sim Blitz and Mosquito need much more time for drinking and getting to know the people, in the AH Spring Meeting you have to spend less time getting to know the people and spend more time flying online and drinking. :) If there's a new person or two every year it's ok, but as it's mostly the people you fly with every night and have met previous years, there's nothing better than having some beers with them. The Spring Meeting is IMO the best place to have some beers with people you know from AH. :aok
Come one, come all. We've had fun the previous years with our foreign counterparts Schutt & Schatzi (2007) and Snefens (2008). Who will be the brave one this year? :devil
(edit: if you get a flight to Helsinki or Tampere, I can guarantee that the costs from thereon and back to the airport are covered).
-
Ok, checked work schedule - offshift. Checking with Wife if she wants a weekend away. Permissible to maybe book late?
Wurzel
WOOOOOOOOT Wife, she says yes lol.......hitting registration page now (quick question, as my wife is american, do I need to get a visa or anything for her? or myself for that matter?)
Booking flights into Helsinki :) :O :)

Just kidding :) Welcome :salute

he he he nurminen, ok, yep, you got me for that one. I mean, do I need to sort anything for her to come to Finland or anything lol......
Whitey, if you can tear some of the extra lard off this body, that'd be nice......lol.......mmmm, sauna's
Wurzel
-
There is no visa for less than 90day holiday trip, i am allmost completely sure about this :devil
And wtg, Wellcome !
I checked from immigration, and US citizen´s are free to travel to Finland with normal passport. (Exception country in Schengen list to travel to all those countries involved in the contract.)
I kinda knew that, but wanted to make sure :salute
-
WTG Wurzel :salute
If you have not booked flights yet, don't forget Tampere as optional flight destination (instead of Helsinki). Tampere is much closer to the Meet than Helsinki.
Great to see you soon :aok
-
Wurzel
Check your pm. :aok
-
Checked, answered and looking forward to seeing you all - should be fun :D
<S>
Wurzel
-
i'll go to finland if you will kaz,

i'm sure we can go to duxford again this year and you WILL come this time.
Kaz and Bruv ?? ;)
-
Kaz and Bruv, now it´s your chance of a lifetime, you are not alone among us anymore, so what are you still waiting ? :salute
Book your flight to Tampere if possible, it´s shorter to Virrat from there.
-
sorry to disappoint but cash is a little tight, planning on going to the Caribbean in December and it will be expensive.
maybe next year ;)
-
Flights booked, leaving Heathrow on the Tues 11:25, arriving Helsinki 4:20pm or something like that. Having a day in Helsinki, then looking at taking the train to Tampere (unless anyone fancies giving me and wifey a lift obviously (more than willing to pay petrol money etc etc). Current plan is then to take a bus to Virrat (unless we happen to get a lift obviously).
Staying until the monday evening, to avoid having to rush back on the Sunday night. Wife and I are really looking forward to meeting you all, and having some fun.
<S>
Wurzel
-
And a swift message from the wife: I fear I will need major therapy after this trip, or vast amounts of alcohol while there or both lol, and we're flying into Helsinki to see 3 museums, and a nice train ride to Tampere. :D :D :D
Looking forward to meeting you all.
Laura
-
:aok :cool:
-
Whoa, i am really worried for your mental health... i mean, you are going museum hopping in helsinki for a couple days and after that coming to the "zoo" :devil
Only couple weeks left :salute
-
Lol, Laura means cos I've been telling her about your past meetings (and she's seen some of the pics) - we are both looking forward to it a lot in all honesty.
See you all in a couple of weeks :salute
Wurzel

But nothing prepares her more for the occasion better, than show her a vid:

If you don't get a lift from Helsinki to Virrat, I'll be driving from Tampere to Virrat on Thursday - I have a work day, but I was planning to leave around 2 - 4 pm in any case, so at least you will have that part of the trip covered (no need for the bus ride).
See you in "two weeks". <S>
-
Excellent, thanks Panzer.
See ya in a short while,

All the volunteers, who are interested to try Ultralight flying, will have a chance to do it in Aces high Spring Meeting :aok

I'm up for that - taking into consideration 2 minor little bits -
Cost? Depends how much
Weight - you may well need something a bit bigger :D
Looking forward to seeing you all :salute
Wurzel
-
Sasmox said the costs are around 15-20e/ short introduction flight of about 15mins.
Weight limitations are: Only for midg...errh Small People :devil
(There is only around 170kg reserved for 2 people + fuel in total weight)
-
Hmm, I'm extraordinarily tall for a midget - and 170kg isnt going to go very far either :devil :D
Do we have any particularly small pilots want to take an old, fat, overtall midget up in the air???? :lol
Wurzel
-
Only a (The) Few days wait left :rock
Travel safely, and enjoy your stay in Helsinki.
Remember to grab something warm with you, forecast says its going to be below zero during this week.
-
All packed and ready to leave. Just finishing my shift cycle off at 7pm tonight, find a few fights online, pack some bits and bobs extra and we'll be away at 11:25 tomorrow.
Looking forward to this, and I dont much worry if it gets a bit chilly :O (tho my wife dont like the cold lol..............but will think of ways to keep her warm ;))
See you all soon,
<S>

That pyramid was built. That was photographed also. But... never published....We didn´t want to insult anyone. We really didn´t want to see those topics again:
"Oh noooo....those nekkid Finns again!"
But, all in all. We had a fantastic AH-meeting, one after another!!!
THX for all participants and especially for the arrangement team: Sasmox, Panzzer and Wasq!
:salute :salute :salute :
Oops, I almost forgot...A GREAT THANKYOU to Gewurzel and his wife for visiting our meeting this year. Somehow I think, they must have been enjoying that time. At least a little;-)
But, that is just my presumption. Let them tell their own story.
Despite of that fact that I am a finn, I still belive that we finns are building the best parties around AH.
A small glimpse of activities is here:

That was an absolute blast. I'd like to thank the organisers:- Sasmox, Panzer, Wasq and Bizman.
Thank you for the hospitality, courtesy and friendship during the meet, I'm honoured and proud to call each and every one of you friends. I did things in this week that I'd never done before, flying an Ultra Light, drinking FPO (after that night my face was hurting from laughing so much), dipping myself in an ice covered lake after being in a sauna full of naked men :O.
Blauk, thank you for the day in Helsinki and the trip round the museum
Panzer, thank you for the lift to Virrat and back, and the meal with your wife (was a very nice way to end the meeting for Laura and I)
Kotari, thank you for telling us about Finland, its history and traditions.
MakeT, thank you for the spitfire, its absolutely gorgeous and is going to take pride of place next to my pc. Thank you all for the very thoughtful gifts (book on Virrat signed by everyone at the meeting), Mug, IL2 round and part of a ju88 rubber seal.
Bizman, thank you for your gift of the small bible as well - that will be a constant travel companion
My wife and I are already getting things sorted for next year, as I have to come back to try and beat Jannek - such a nice guy, and such a good stick.
Laura is still giggling over the weekends antics - naked pyramid included. She even liked the sauna (after we persuaded her to give it a try - and we'll work on her dipping in the lake for next year :D)(Laura's comment on that was - over her dead body :lol)
Going to Finland -140 pounds
Train to Tampere - 54 Euros
Price for meeting - 100 Euros
Meeting the Fins, naked in a sauna, and getting into an ice bound lake - Priceless
If you have not made one of the spring ah meets in Finland, I strongly, strongly recommend that you do. The Fins are fun to be around, fun to fly and fight with or against, and the hospitality will blow you away.
Thank you all, very very much (I've tried not to miss anyone out, my apologies if I have) My wife and I felt so very welcome to be there, and Laura says I now have to learn finnish ;)
Please pencil my wife and I in for next year. :D
:salute

Great weekend!
Already counting days to next meeting. :aok
Thanks to guys who organised this party. Great work. Thanks to all who where there to make that atmosphere.
It was great to meet new pilots IRL. Wurzel, great that you enjoyed your stay in Finland. But next time, try to get some manners and don't shoot me down in ladder match. :lol
So next year meeting is non-alcolic. Or did i understand something wrong?
-
Was great having you, Wurzel and Laura, in the Meet :)
Also great to see that you got the same addiction... or infection :t ... just cannot stay away from the Meet like so many of us.
Cya again next year :aok

Hi Laura here. I just wanted Gary to post a personal thank you from me on Aces High to you all.
First thank you to everyone for making me feel so very welcomed! and making such a great effort! I never met such a nice group of people! Not too mentioned a very fun group to hang out with! I had so many great chats with people and learned so much about Finland that you cant read in any book. I really enjoyed talking about and learning about history of Finland and how WWII affected Finland. Finland is a beautiful place and full of very nice people. I can clearly see why the Fins are a very proud people, as they should be.
Thank you Sasmox for well everything! What a great event and venue! Really first class everything! Gary has fallen in love with your house! Sorry I missed the drive out to it, I think I was sleeping off some sort of hangover, lol. I did pick up the newspaper with your picture on the front & I am going to attempt to translate it.
Thank you Kotari for the cigarettes & constant great chatting and laughter. Im still laughing! I learned a lot, thank you! I love the steely eyed picture of you that was taken, looks great!
Thank you Bizman for the great piano entertainment & chats! I love the leather flight helmet! Looks great!
Thank you Blauk for the great chats. I love the whole military/war hat idea. I still think Gary will be wearing the plastic hard hat next year, for not only the pyramid.
Thank you Panzzer for the rides. It was so very nice to meet your wife. I will translate her poem, looking forward to that.
Thank you Koonan for the helmet picture that now exists of me, lol. How drunk do I look. It looks far better on you.
Thank you Vuokko, Jokeri & Mursutin for so much drunken laughter. Mursutin be careful with those new english words I taught you, lol.
Thank you Wasq for the chats & taking some amazing pics! Once I saw your camera I thought, I wont bother with my silly camera. I will give the few pics I took to Gary so he can get them up on a website for everyone to see.
Thank you Zuum for asking "are you bored", lol, I was never bored, just chilled out, or maybe drunk, lol. Those are great planes you brought, a shame the tree ate one. At least the wind coughed it out of the tree, lol.
Thank you Jannek for winning the flying ladder. Now Gary is hard at work training for next year, lol.
Thank you Raaka and its ok I dont speak Kanadian either, lol. Dont worry I will make sure Gary learns Finnish for next year.
Thank you Nurminen for the chats, laughter & joining outside for the smoke breaks.
Thank you Bush for bringing Guitar Hero, your damn good at that game as well as Aces Hi.
Thank you Iku, Sant, Duke, Teerie, Charge, Mipoikel for the chats & laughter. Wish it was longer than three days, so could chat and hang out more. I think a week would be awesome!
I love the craziness of it all, I felt like I fit right in, being a tad bit crazy myself, lol. FPO is some serious stuff! I was instantly drunk after having that small amount. And no I am not going anywhere near the frozen lake. Like I said it will be over my dead body, cause it will probably kill me, lol. I will build myself up for the heat of the saunas & I dont need eye bleach or therapy after all, lol. I might need that stuff for the pyramid though, lol.
I cant thank you all enough for a great time! Looking forward to this summer a trip hopefully and next years meet!

It was really pleasure to meet both of you, Laura and Gary.
And my squad duel challenge is still valid, if The Few get enough guys against my one man squad. :)

The week after AHMeet is allways tough one, feels quite hard adjusting to the daily business as usual after such a meeting.
Thank you Wurzel & Laura, there´s a lot of good memories from the meeting, and we will meet again for sure. :salute

Nice video, Mipoikel, made me relive my breathtaking experience! This is one reason why I never take a camera to these meetings: People who have the skills and better equiment let me concentrate into having fun and let me memorize it via their visual productions.
Waiting for the next meeting more than a kid for Christmas! Thanks to all who participated, especially Wurzel and Laura. It's not the program, it's the people that create a good happening. :salute

Thank you Panzzer for the rides. It was so very nice to meet your wife. I will translate her poem, looking forward to that.
Well, thank you for coming this far, and as I said I was going there anyway so the rides weren't a problem - thanks for the company on the trip. My wife enjoyed meeting the both of you as well.
By the way, it has been considerably warmer this week - and there's hardly any snow left now, at least here in Tampere.
Bruv, the dueling ladder is in 109G2's, start practicing ;), hoping to see you next year. :salute
