Greetings aces
So I have decided. I am coming back to AH - for a few f(l)ights at least. My rig is up in construction and my homemade simpit has been re-assembled... :airplane:
Now, is there anyone left from the 'good' old days to help grandpa across the runway? :old: I know VoX is creeping around here and some of the JG2/JG54 pilots also. So here is your roll call!!! :x
The last virtual plane I have flown was on a PS3 and the last time I touched a 190 was when I shoved a 1:600 model around a hex map so have pitty on me :t
9./JG54 Kirin is back on duty (for now - err, starting in a week or two). :salute
---
slightly o'topic: Also, are there any groundhogs familiar with ArmA2? Building a PC 'just' for AH seems a bit over the top... :D
-
There are a few old buggers still hangin' around ... good to hear from you again Kirin.
-
Welcome back! ;)
-
Welcome back! Just came back myself. I was around at beta (when p51s was all we had), and stayed through to 2002 (?). Found my ch stick when I cleaned up in the basement, and that was it. Back in business.
-
Couple of us still around. :)
-
I'm not dead!
-
Speak up! I'm going blind :lol
-
Shhhhhhhhh.
-
QUIET!
-
Another voice from ages past, welcome back Kirin.
-
Still around and floppin :joystick: :old:
-
Who you callin' "old"?! Good to have you back, Kirin!
-
:old:
-
Two names I think of when I see Kirin are Urchin and Fishu. Oh the days when 90 people in the arena was a big crowd :O
-
Fishu - something about this name makes me feel uneasy... :noid
Hehe - good to see some old dogs amongst the puppies!

Just talked to my nerd friend. The PC is almost flyworthy - only waiting for the Gfx-card. Seems like they are outta stock for most midrange cards around here (e.g. GTX260/7570). But wow - we have some serious HOTAS around now. G940 is ordered - putting my Cougar to rest.
-
I'm not dead!
He'll be dead soon - can't we work something out? ;)

Classic Monty Python :aok

I see a lot of the old timer's coming back . Me being one of them . :old:
Welcome back
<S>
-
Hiya Kirin..
Did ya miss us that much :devil
-
This is a bit of a loaded question (given the meaning of 'bugger' in some cultures) :eek: :D
Are you asking if there are old people on AH? or
Are you asking if there are old men with 'an alternative sexual preference' in AH? or
Are you asking if there are men with 'an alternative sexual preference' who only prefer old men in AH? or
Are you asking if there are AHers who have been here for a given (though not specified) time period?
:D :bolt:
-
Well I can count on being killed a lot more, since Kirin used to kill me about 20 times a day, don't think I have ever killed him once in my whole life.
WELCOME BACK, just make sure you fly a pink plane so I can avoid you. LOL
Salute

oh btw I am a lot older now fixing to turn 65 day after christmas, he he he he
-
AH is becoming for the late for bed and the nearly dead.
-
Yesterday I got out of the shower and my "ballbag" dragged across the top of my cat! Does that count as old bugger? :D
-
Why is it most of these people I see claiming to be old timers I don't recognise?
-
Thats part of getting old.
:old:
There you go, an emote, probably the 2nd one I have ever used on a BBS
-
Yeah, those post-2000 younglings... :rolleyes:
---
Alright, took my first sortie yesterday. After some technical difficulties and what not I upped a G-14 (now where's the G-10 I remember?!) deep in friendly territory and broke the left wing of on landing... :D Oh well, have to work on my stick setup...
After that I took a F-4 for a quick spin on the frontlines. Good, good feeling. But much to re-learn and re-set! ;)
-
Heya Kirin, howdy? :)
Waiting for WW1 to take a new look at AH ....
-
Il gatto!!! :O Come stai?
Hehe, well, I need a little more horse- and firepower than those fabric spanned flying coffins. But I sure will have a look at it!
Making progress on my stick profile - so might be up fighting before Christmas eve :joystick:
-
Il gatto!!! :O Come stai?
Well, betatesting RoF, rising a little new daughter and keeping the wife away from my PC ... all tough tasks! :rofl

Hola Kirin!
Are you wearing Depends yet? :old:
How are your bi-focals? :O
I'm currently suffering from flyers block, but that hasn't stopped me yet. :D :airplane:
-
KIRIN! :rock Good to see you again! FLY BISH, that's where the old, bold pilots go naturally. :devil
:)
-
I just resubscribed as "Lobster". I have bad MS now unfortunately so flying is not easy! AH is fun again though. Good to see all you old-timers are still here. Rip always had the best missions back in the day. And Kirin, damn you used to kill me a lot, you flew 38s right?
-
Hey Elysian - 38s -can't be! You might be thinking of Kieran who is/was a heck of a stick... - LW radial for me please!
-
Oh ok, did you fly with JG 54 then? Where is Glasses these days I wonder.
-
Kirin was 190s if I recall correctly.
Those were the good old days :).
-
Hello Kirin <S>

Thank you Ely, we had some fun times as Knights back in the day. :devil We crashed the HTC servers a few times with 200 paratroopers in the air at the same time. :devil
-
@Elysian: Yup - 9./JG54 "Grünherz" - those were the days! I have no clue about Glasses - but I DO really want to see that crazy guy again!
@Urchin: K.T.s wonderbird all the way baby!
-
Damn, we're going to have to start a retirement center for AH :D
-

Somehow I feel isulted by this one :)
-

I think we should lobby HT for a senior citizens discount.

Alright. Spend a few nights up in the virtual skies flying 'toon planes (as they say nowadays) and enjoyed it tremendously. Met a few familiar faces like good ol' VoX and of course the Black Knights Bier-Drinkers. But where are all the 'others'??? Been scanning some old posts - and great they were... :old:
So I officially open the dweeb-hunt (another old word I found) for following pilots:
Glassses, StSanta, NathBDP, Wilbuz, Vulcan, Hangtime, Blitz, (the unforgettable) Ram, Maik (which I know is lurking in the shadows somewhere) and many more from the pre-millenium ages!! :rock
Reward open to negotiations!!! :cheers:

Some of us old farts fly in the AvA
-
Came by on a whim (in STO open beta), since I do that from time to time for old time's sake. Saw Kirin's post, then all the replies from others who I actually remember. There were some hot and bothersome times with some of you, but for the most part I remember those days as good ones.
I did actually try to come back last year, but it appears that Vista and AH don't do well. Or it could be my connect now. I don't know really. In any case, please take care of my baby, La-5FN.
And watch your 6, one and all :)
Poka!
-
Ah works great with vista now. I run it on Windows 7 and it is great.
I shoot down lots of LAs..... have not seen any with your name on them. I think yours is now stuck on the end of a pole out front of the VA Hall.
-
I'm not dead!
Oh shutup you'll surely be dead in a little while! :neener:
-
I can't take him he's not dead.
-
La-5 & Leonid - what a horrid memorie!
:salute Leonid!
Running on Win7 - besides some random reboots which seem to cure themselves after some time AH2 runs nicely on my new rig...
STO? I assume that's Star Trek Online - keeping an eye on that one - if they let me play Romulan!!! :D
-
Leonid - look here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,7415.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,7415.0.html) :O
Sry for the double post... :neener:
