10. Walking down the street in broad daylight when you hear that dreadful voice "Check 6"
9. In dead silence you suddenly hear the drone of the AH engine noise.
8. You try to teach your roomate/girlfriend/strangers the basics of Air Combat.
7. Your additude changes drastically after turning the game on (ex-Angry to overly excited)
6. You begin to notice things from AH beginning to pop up in your dreams.(ex-airplanes with names and distance numbers)
5. The first thing you talk about when you get home is AH, and if you have a roomate that plays, how good or bad he did that day.
4. Watching a TV show/movie about WW2 Air Combat makes your skin crawl. Forcing you to drop everything and play AH.
3. You become so mad when you Disco from the phone ringing, people have to restrain you from throwing the phone out the window.
2. You pick days in advance where you decide to play all day long.
1. You play H2H until you realize this isnt cutting it, and you mail 60.00 bucks to play for 2 months.

Just a little thing to make everyone smile. Ill be seeing everybody in the MA sometime this week.

Before you bathe or head to the store, you get a bomber up and on autopilot heading for enemy territory.

When you are walking and you move your hand like you are using your joystick when you turn a corner.

When you are driving down the road and a polceman catches you on radar, you tell him "remove in car dar!!!"

When you see two birds fighting over an insect in the sky, you think you could outfly them both and strafe the insect.

When you see a woman with a nice big rack you yell out "HISPANO HO!"

When you see a woman with a nice butt, you start shaking your joystick hand excitedly and tell your buddies to "Watch her 6"

and finally, when you are on a sidewalk in a crowded city you stick your arms out and start running around while yelling out various commands to your "wingmen", and start accusing other people of HOing you or ramming you.

Keeping up E when you make a turn in your car.

When you hear fireworks outside, you start thinking it's flak!
(kind of happened to me last night, i thought a bomb went off, first there was a huge explosion which rocked my windows. Then there was a deadly silence before the real show started)

When you see a boeing 747 passing overhead you want to call "buff over field...."
And you start guessing it's altitude.

When you see a cessna with a banner behind it. You think he will never make through the flak at that altitude.

When your phone rings, you think it's your CO, telling you there are nme planes incoming.

You have a checklist for powering up and shutting down your pc.

And,...... you search for the WEP-button on your pc, to boost your processor.

You know when you're a knit addict when, instead of searching for CTRL-C, your have to pay some serious $$$ to fix your car after a failed attempt at cross country driving in your dayly sedan.   :D

Cheers,

When you salute your friends and start calling them sir.....

When you look up at every aircraft flying over and get worried because you are too low with not enough E

When you can't play anymore without the "Top Gun" or "Memphis Belle" Sound Tracks playing in the background.

When you run screaming across your workplace shouting "LARGE GROUP INCOMING SCRAMBLE"

When you stop talking to people who don't respect your rank.

When you hit the "/" key before you do any typing

When you cycle through your views on the Keyboard in the middle of your office even when you are not playing.

Just some of my own personal colection.

When on the airfield you curse when you have to get an airplen out of the hangar cause there's no FLY button that puts you on the runway

When you're holding short of the active and you think about the guy on short finals "damn vulcher i hope ack takes care of ya"

When in a multiengine A/C you're annoyed that you need to start engines one by one

When ATC gives you a traffic info and you say "i have the con in sight"

Whne you call out traffic to your co-pilot you say "bogey 3'clock co-alt"

When you see a Cespit down low and you have to fight the urge to bounce him

and when you fail to fight that urge you close on his 6 and make RATATATATATATTATA noises on the Unicom frequency.

When the radio goes kaputt and you think "Golly-geen another disco"

When at work on the PC you try and use the "Z" key to read fine print on your monitor.

You say "nice bounce!" when your cat successfully sneaks up on you while playing and makes you auger (this only happened once.  ONCE I tell you!!!  :o )

You're driving near your local airport, spot a plane in the air and start scheming how to get angles on him given your inferior E state.  (I have been trying to guess distances on them recently... scary!)

You sit at work all day and do nothing but post on this BBS...  OOPS!!!   :D

You think to yourself, man I,m really looking forword to painting the fence today.

And then you stop and wonder, how can I do this without pissing my wife off.

When you think "man I could really clear up this traffic if I just had my tiffie"

When you start using comparing combat tactics and sales pitches

When you pray for rain to give you a good excuse to play all day

When your wife/girlfriend has an affair its 'a good thing coz it gets her out of the house' so you can plau AH

Anything in the sky imediatly draws your attention no matter who your talking to.
You have your calender set to november 2000 cause the date doesnt matter and its a cool picture of Chuck Yeager shooting down one of his 4 190s he got in one day.

I saw a drunk staggering in the market square and making a nusiance of him self.

He bothered a girl who let him have both barrels of her viscious tounge.

He started backing away in a hurry, right over my outstretched leg.

Assist! I thought, and went back to my beer....
