Title: Last Check 6
Post by: VonnHoltz on July 16, 2009, 07:06:52 AM

Hi All,
    Regret that this will be my last time on Aces High.  Due to Age and health issues, I will no longer be flying with and agianst you.   I've bee at this type of game since Air Warrior, and can remember having a $250 + month phone bill when playing Air Warrior (wife wasn't very happy about that. :) ).  I've had a great time and will long remember the may combats which I have engaged in with nealy all of you.  We all get older tho, and time catches up with us.  Will see You all in the Wild Blue Yonder.  Till then 'May your aim be true and 'Check 6'.  --- VonHoltz

It's sad to see a long time P-38 driver hang up his flight suit and goggles. 

Von, I've known you for many years now and it's been a great pleasure of mine to fly with and against you.  I hope you'll pop in from time to time in the SAPP forums to keep us updated on how you're doing.   :salute
