I came over from Air Warrior in 2002 -- there was Wax and all the Hell Gods, and Moto of course; then to the 444th Air Mafia -- Mugzy, Joe, Fryman, and so many I cannot recall, but want to. Then, well there was the Indy 2002 convention or about that time; met all the HTC guys and Flossy, and ex-brit.
I'm saying this because it has been grand. All in all for 15 bucks a month for what ever years it has been. Lost dear Fish a year or two ago, and Vega, and others. Salute to my foes and friends.
Thank-You all.

What I remember about indy the most was being overwhelmed by seeing my first 38, in real life, at dayton's centenial of flight (glacier girl and Porky II) . It was actually a big deal to me, at 27 or so, to see a machine that i idolized....silly maybe to some but it was. Another funny thing was how hard it was to say good bye to some of the squad mates id flown with for years, knowing i'd prolly not get a chance to see them again , in person , for god knows .
Hanging at the con, no one thought about kill to death ratio's or stats.... it was about the common interest of warbirds,avation,history and the relationships that had formed from years of knowing each other through a mic, headset and phone. To some of us , this is much more than a "game".

The Indy Con was 2003 and I made sure I chatted with everyone there and I always wished I could attend another one. Curval, 38MAW, GhostDancer, Gunns, Octavius, fdski, Wax, AHGOD, Tarmac, Flossy, Seadog, Alpo, DmdBen, LW, loser101, VegasX, Hap, DokGonzo, CanDo, BFD, KOOL, Xbrit, his wife and son and easily 40 others.
I have the playing cards on my bookcase and a lot of good memories.

I remember slapshot talking with alot of people .... he was all over the place and a blast to hang with, along with T2maw and redmaw lol. I remember Flossy using my pc more than i did the whole con.... there were a ton of other things to do besides fly . I remember meeting you the first night Karaya..... Cant beleve it's been 12 years already . <S>

Huzzah Hap!!!!!!!!!! Fun stuff a wot! <S>
-
Wax got arrested in Indy, I know it there's photo proof...
-
Indy was a blast, always good to meet people with a similar interest.
Everyone I met there will always be in my mind, to many to mention
but you guys know who you are. That and the first Dayton get together
are my fondest memories of this game.
-
:salute Hap .... Always helpful and friendly...even if I'm on the wrong side sometimes...Well most times these days.

Most folks fail to realize but it is all about the people in the game. That is why I am still here. It is my squaddies and the other great folks I have met along the way. They have become true friends and Not hearing their voices from day to day just does not seem right. The game while it has become stale at times pales in comparison to the laughing and fun I have had over the years with the nut balls on here. The game is what we make it and the small society we have created is ours and we decide it's fate and path. The folks here that have stayed I can almost bet stay because where else can you find folks who share the same love and interest in the same thing and talk and share with them on a daily basis. When it's gone I shudder to think of trying to find something remotely close to what we have here...<S> To all of you, each in your own way whether we have talked or flown together has added something very unique in my life and I am all the richer for having such a community in my life! :salute

lolol
Saw the photo too. I wish I could recollect the name of the kind Canadian lad who sat next to me in the convention room. We had a good time. I think he drove down with this girlfriend. He shared his beer with me. Fine kid. Now he's 30 something.
Also remember Was giving Jeffer grief over vox, that's Morpheus before he changed his name. Was a fine time. Breakfast with Dale, Flossy, and others. Seeing the new damage models for the first time. And our wonderful WW2 veteran who flew the Fairey Swordfish during the war if I'm remembering correctly -- a fine British gentleman.

Wizz, ty for the kind words. Getting new players ship-shape and sorted out is something I love to do. Happens less frequently now. For me it was some of the 99's who were kind to me. I'd ask if I could fly along and watch. Still, took me a year or two to put things together. Can't forget Relic and the DFA boys. I was with them for a some time; also Thunder Egg and the 91st. I remember on the night he lost his Father, he told us the sad news. I started PM'ing squads to just fly along with the guy. Several showed up. Not much chatter. Just company, and when it is the right sort, that is saying something.

The Canadian with his girlfriend was Loser111.

I still have my name tag and the Canadian coins that loser gave me at the indy convention, and somewhere I have a bunch of pics of all the silly stuff even when I got the cops called on me singing Hank Williams songs at 3am, LOl

Some of us are just a bit quieter, and prefer to recognize the skills of other players without being boisterous.
