This is the poem I wrote when I joined the Muskies. The last poem I posted was for HiTech's wedding. He never commented on it but he didn't ban me either. :D
How can I a Muskie be?
Do you have more than three?
If I pay a token fee,
can I then a Muskie be?
Does it matter if I’m new?
And I don’t know what to do?
I could learn a thing or two,
if you let me join your crew.
Every day I try and try.
I shoot ‘em up but they don’t die.
Maybe if I learned to fly,
I wouldn’t always come up dry.
I don’t want to make a name,
I don’t want Air Warrior fame.
Actually I’m pretty lame,
I just like to play this game.
So can I be a Musketeer?
I’d really like a sword to wear.
No longer would I fly in fear,
with Muskies covering my rear.
Here's to 20 more. :cheers:

Congratulations Musketeers and a big <Salute> from 249 Sqn RAF!
That we may celebrate together your 40th anniversary!
Cheers!
It's a red letter day! I've spent 20 years in MMO air combat and 20 years as a Muskie! I had the great good fortune to encounter --)--BMan-- and --)--Stilletto--- when I first fell into AirWarrior from that point onward there was no looking back. Being in this squad has brought me my job, my livelihood and my fun all in one. I can't even really express it all in a single post
One game genre and one squadron for twenty years from 300 baud modems to DSL, from 4 colors to a kajillion colors, from 640X480 to 5040X1024, from relaxed halftime realism to full realism flight models, from text communications to VOX, from one 15 inch screen to 3 screens, its been one hell of ride and I couldn't hope to find a better bunch of people to do it with. I know these guys and think of them as family, folks that I trust absolutely in the real world. We've shared good times and bad, death and life, and the inevitable changes that time brings, in the virtual world and the real world. I found out I was going to be a father at the AW convention in 1991. Now my son flies with me in AH as part of the Musketeers.
From the hours and hours we've spent in game time and the hours and hours we've spent on the listserv, this IS my band of brothers.
BTW, all this month the Muskies are doing Musketeer Mad Missions, wacky stuff with next to no purpose at all. If you see a bunch of Muskies up, feel free to join us!
:salute The Musketeers!
I hope to be here in another 20 years to celebrate again :old:
