I doubt you need a refresher course...... just maybe a few hours or so of knocking some rust off in the DA

look for batfinkv(mechanic) ,  bighorn ( not sure what his current gameid is these days ), or any of the muppets and most of the "the FEW" or dedalos or Shane

and I am sure you be back at your old self in no time quick......  ( their are alot more decent sticks out there that I could name but it would take me a few hrs typing , no disrespect meant toward any of you )

if you see me on or give me a time, I will meet up with ya to help ya get your 6th, 7th and 8th sense back ............... ROFL.....

My only claim to fame was dueling Superfly and Natedog in the big vulcano back in 2000 or was it beta in 99. My regular sidekick at that time was Saintaw. Trying to get back into it when I have some time from real live... but I suck  :D

Anyway welcome back!!

Not sure. I've been around for what I like to think of as a long time. Not as long as some but much longer than others. Hard to tell because my X deleted my account for fun when she became the X and I don't remember exactly when I started flying other than it was 10 or 11 years ago back in AH 1 and I was a Proud member of the Birds Of Prey. :)   

 At any rate weather your older or younger than I, <S> sir and I invite you to attempt to shoot my B-26's out of the air any day sir. :)

Welcome back!



sure it does

their are quite a few people here that have posts such as yours...... somehow back on the very first board, one was able to make posts and all, yet once the newer software ( or whatever the program is ) for the forums was implemented, it showed as people having registration to bbs like 2003 or 2002  or 2001  ( or like you 2008 ).... yet it looks as if they were able to travel back in time and make a post to a thread that was made before they ever registered to the bbs or vice versa.....

this is especially true for a lot of the posts/threads pre 2003/2002  ( mainly 2001 back to 1999 )  if you went looking / researching........

I think the forums are now on it's 3rd different type of  bbs code ( program/software ) ....  iirc ...... don't hold me to that though.....

SHAMUS!!!!... still flying them angry LW planes... I remember us winging in the old A8, the only butcherbird then available  :cheers:

SOULYSS: Man this takes me back... we sure had fun flying the F4u's with the dead rattlers. Funny that so many old hands are still around, even after 10 years. I'm back to square one... getting my behind kicked every time I go up... long gone are the days when I could do some kicking myself  :airplane:

It's pure nostalgia but I still think very fondly of the old JG2 times and the FMF323. Doing full squad raids. Getting blown out of the sky by hristo or hangtime. It must have made an impact since I remember alot of names probably no longer around:
Ghosth and Daddog of the Flying Mongrels
Hangtime the all time runstang flyer who could  rip your ass
The great hands... who would teach me alot of lessons, dejavu, Funked, Mistu, deadmanflying, my old squadies, rocket, glasses, ripsnort, saintaw, duckwing...

Man when I check the roster... I don't recognise any names (normal I know)... so it will take some time to belong again.


What country are you guys flying?
