I’m writing this as a 22 year old who grew up watching his dad play Aces high and just dominating night in night out. This is my first time on this forum but I read a couple posts about the old man. I find it hilarious how many bitter 40 year olds there were that got triggered by a guy enjoying the game and pushing others to be better. 999000 is a legend 1000 percent and for all the hateful posts i saw I saw my dad preaching kindness which isn’t something that was just online for him. He’s been flying B-17’s and coordinating missions for over 20 years he’s the MJ of bombers. Just wanted to say hey to anyone who might remember a kid hopping on the headset from time to time and to let people know that 9er is as great of a dad as he is a Gamer and I hope you all keep playing

Is he dead? Never was very courteous to me. But thats fine as I'm a salamander myself. :salute hope you get into the game

I’m writing this as a 22 year old who grew up watching his dad play Aces high and just dominating night in night out. This is my first time on this forum but I read every post you all had to say about my father. I find it hilarious how many bitter 40 year olds there were that got triggered by a guy enjoying the game and pushing others to be better. 999000 is a legend 1000 percent and for all the hateful posts i saw I saw my dad preaching kindness which isn’t something that was just online for him. He’s been flying B-17’s and coordinating missions for over 20 years he’s the MJ of bombers.
Ps if Fbraptor or Mars is out there still I would love to educate them on who 9er really is.
THE 999000 of today? Or Spawn Of Satan/999,000,....OP? If the later, I meant that comment IN LOVE! Scares the Hell out of me lol! I havent seen any posts on Forum, or in game for that matter, that disparages his BadAssery in B-17s :uhoh I am however, familiar with"The B-17s are Triple Nine, Careful!" Followed by "HOLY toejamE, there goes a wing!" Unless you witnessed a recent experience I wasnt in game for....all I saw was Total Fear and Shock, when he was around! :rock We have Jousted many the times and NOT ONCE have I EVER heard him/read a single disparaging comment from him! Do I go out of my way to get "easy bomber kills"? HELL TO THE NO NO! Unless I am in a 110 :D Just last week!!!! 999,000 comented on a 200 post from Notar towards me. I was in an F-6 and not my customary Spit 16. Notar was saying "BW, get back in the Spitfire. Those big bombs are like cheating for you!" 999,000 jumped in "Dude, he isnt in a 110, count your blessings(parphrased) :rofl I am hoping something RETARDED didnt provoke your post? Your Dad is Family to me and I will have his "6" anytime! Unless I am fighting him..."6" is NO SAFE ZONE with that one :rofl
-
Hell no he’s not dead dudes just down the street from me hahaha
-
And 1st prk sorry not sure how to tag people I’m on Mobile. But yessir he’s still at it all these years later. I love aces high myself literally grew up next to the computer watching it waiting for a turn just to get laughed at in the chat for flying a Spitfire instead of B-17. Always tried to warn people it was just Jr99900” on the joystick.
-

RUN AWAY...RUN AWAY!!!! Wait...he wont shoot at you :rofl Lucky SOB :devil

Nothing wrong with Spitfires....unless its your dad you are shooting at! Why I went 110!!! BIG GUNS sometimes trump BIG SKILL :rofl 49 next month, and YES I steer clear! Man is a Dang Porcupine!!! My Niece ULBlizz, has started playing, and that was my first advice to her "B-17s? Check roster!🤣" "I aint scared!" followed by "MOTHER TRUCKER!! OK, yeah, uh ha...you right! OUCH!" I got him several times last week...he was in a Wirb!!! Just to see B-17s a few minutes later....HELL NO! Suddenly I need gas and ammo! 🤣 I admit, I felt a disturbance!!! You didnt happen to be flying his account a bit ago, in a Spit? If so, we had a Great Fight...I was in shock to see I shot down 999! Or where you also in the Wirb?
-
No I actually wasn’t playing haven’t played on his account in a few years but that’s awesome hearing that he’s out ripping spitfires and trying to learn a fighter hahah. Next time you shoot him down tell him his son says to get his bellybutton back in the 17’s. Also super cool you got your niece into the game. It really is a special game to me and I’m not even the one who played I just watched it unfold over the years, if you ever got him AFK it’s a good chance I pulled him away for a minute for some help hahaha. Can’t count the amount of times he had to climb and level out because I needed some help
-
So many times, I took a run at B17s, popped one and it was 999.
Not safe to try for another of the formation, didn't want to use all my luck in one night.
1 out of 3 and living was fine by me. :salute
-
I’ve called all kinds of dudes out but never been anything but a fan of triple nine. You’re absolutely correct. He’s an AH legend every time I see low-ish B17s I hesitate for a second and wonder if it’s him at the controls.
I’ve managed to take his formations down a few times but I can tell you that you I absolutely had to use patience and technique to do it. The passes need to be nearly perfect and you MUST take at least one ship down on the first pass or you will not survive to get all three. No matter what, you’re going to Pay for attacking him whether you succeed or not.
-
I tend to use the ol' ... hey look, it's Haleys Comet routine to get shots on him. He likes comets. :D
-
Jr. Tell Pops I said he was a class act! :aok
I used laugh a lot when I heard,stay away from that17 it's 999 in it.
:salute
-
He was a beast in a bomber!! He was always nice to me. He would salute back every time I saluted him when he knocked me out of the sky! tell him I said hello!
-
I drew this for him back when I was posting cartoons every week.

999...........actually the toughest opponent in a B17. I've had many a time to engage him. I prefer to call him the porcupine.

No way this is the coolest thing I’ve seen man, gave me a huge smile appreciate it

I remember 999000.
Spawn of 999000 just make your handle 1000000 and tell him Fester says hello.
-
Fester and anyone else who’s asked me to tell him hi I’ll make sure to do that tonight. Awesome seeing the responses I look forward to getting my set up figured out and getting in the sky

Dying to know: what exactly does the "999000" mean. Everyone pretty much has a call sign that you can see means something. Never understood "999000" though.
-
999 always fun to fly with or against, never any malice just kill or be killed.
-
in another thread hitech asked how can 1 gun shoot at different people. obviously he's never seen 999 in action, his guns fire in 20 different directions.

I also have wondered for years what the story was behind his callsign.

Hey, look! A Tail-End Charlie. Might be a noob. I'll go after him.

Best buff gunner I have ever seen. Always a nice guy too. :cheers:

Well, Well, Look what my son jr999900 has been up to... Thanks to all for the kind words, its an outstanding community. Truth be told I'm like most of you guys who just love aircraft.
What people don't know is that I'm really bad at this game even to this day. I tried to fly fighters early on with NO success. I could not hit water falling out of a boat, but still loved the game. Found enough success then with PT boats gunning from the #3 perch to stay in the game. From there just by dumb luck or the VH hanger being down..... I found myself in a bomber, and took to the B17.....the rest is history...the guy still can't fly a fighter and play the game! Just glad the game has a place for everybody <S>
Love you guys!

Care to pass along a few tips to someone who sucks at EVERYTHING? :joystick:

before you attach b17s check the roster to make sure 999 is not online.

October of 2000 here. Although I may have played before I joined the forums. Maybe 1999?
-
:rofl
Brooke I remember that...
A lone B-17 group that cannot keep up with the formation... Go get him... Famous last words! :airplane:
Yea 999 was a formattable foe to be sure :salute
-
999000 he is my b17 escort..... :aok
-
I have been playing off and on since Air Warrior 1, I didn't think I was any good until the day 999000 pm'd me and mentioned how well I did in dismantling his B17's in a 109.
-
999000 is to be feared if he's not on your side, and in All cases to be respected. I'm a gv-er and I finally got the upper hand on 999000 this week. We were trying to capture a base on Rift Valley, 999000 had his B17's, on the deck killing anything that moved lol. In the next 15 minutes I managed to main gun 5 of his bombers down. That goes into my record book. :D
Dislike or disparage, not me. Any negative comments I have heard have been whines about loosing out on the contest of 999000 vs them.
:salute 999000
-
999000 is the only bomber pilot that could disassemble a FW-190A8 to a number of free-flying components at more than 1.0k out, coming in from 12 o'clock high :old:
-
It always makes me giggle when I watch a fighter drag a bandit to him to be killed.
I used to run into him all the time hunting bombers. He gives you instant feedback on how difficult your bomber attack approach is to hit. :) If you're sloppy, you either die or miss him with your bullets.
My favorite 999000 memory is I was on autoclimb in a jug and saw a set of B17s about 4k or so above me in my general vicinity. Didn't think too much of it, just continued browsing the internet on my phone as I climbed. Then, through the distraction, I heard engine noise. Then tracers, a wing went away, and when I hit the ground, "You have been killed by 999000." He has the distinction of being the only person ever in any game to bounce my fighter in a set of bombers. I wasn't even mad, just laughed my backside off.

Even on the ground 999 kills me.

999000 and I Flew back in AW with my original squad "Strike Force" and I do believe in the Most Wanted squad. Can't remember if he followed me there. I was #Dogg and he was #9900. He learned the B17 I believe from Tncup who flew the b17 just like 9900. Sadly when AH came about, we didn't get back together. Wish we did and I have tried many times way back to get him to join me with the AK's. Offer is still there 999000, hehehehe. :aok :D
-
I have been playing since 2000, I also met 999000 and I believe his son too at airshow at Wright Patterson field in 2007.
999000 is very deadly in his B17s. Hope you have fun with it also.
airjer =^..^= :rock

I was never as close to being as good as 999 but I strived to be. Im surprised he doesn't still play.

oh, he does and I have the pile of plane parts to prove it.

Been here since the beginning. Started in h2h as a teenager for a few years, been lurking in the MA since.
-
Ahhhh yes I've been shooting down and getting shot down by 999 since early AH1 back when I was 20 or so (43 now) I usually get him when I'm feeling lazy and sitting in the 5"ers on a CV and it usually brings out a chuckle when I think "Ahh it was triple 9 again" lol.
Kinda the same feeling fighting him as when ThndrEgg and I would be flying our 17's and we would see a 262 coming in and think "Oh look it's Snailman again." :)
There are always certain people that you can simply respect and have fun with even when you know there is a good chance they would shoot you down.
I haven't been in the air for a bit but am starting to get the itch to put the VR back on so look out when bombing those CV's 999 :P <S>
-
Man when I first started reading this thread I thought Trip9 passed away and was like no not another Legend gone to soon. But hell I loved attacking B17s with my fighters until I crossed paths with 999 I would get one of his drones dead while he would oil me in my A8 hurt another then all I saw was tower windows. A lot of times since I knew where he was after killed me sometimes I would just escort him home lol when he would let me. Another well respected player of the game and many people like to specialize in 1 plane and 999’s was the 17

Very similar to my beginnings in Air Warrior! Every attempt to fly a fighter resulted in me spinning into the ground. Then my Krait Squadron CO, Spiff, used to take me as a gunner in his B17 where we often had fun with him flying and me in the nose gun as he turned with attacking fighters! Eventually I tried flying one myself and loved it. The B17 continues to be my favourite bomber. :D
-
anytime i got totally destroyed by a b17, i knew it was 999000. he is a great player and i love seeing him and saying hi to him! he's an all around great guy! ive been around since 2008 and still love the game. just wish there were more players. tell him Jaeger1 says hi. i just pray you dont get as good as he is, otherwise we're all screwed!! LOL
-
:salute to 999, yes indeed he is a legend in those B17's..
-
Has no one told 999000 that flying 500 ft AGL was not recommended for a bomber in enemy territory? :eek:
My favorite are Lancs just due to the bomb load but sniping some over zealous fighter on your six is great fun. :airplane:
This game does indeed have something for every skill.
-
I wish I had the memory to remember who I met and flew wth back in the AW days. My modem quality was always crap, but had loads of fun while the game lasted.

When I'd get a kill on a bomber in formation and it was one of his, I didn't bother with the other two.

As a fellow buff pilot, it's always good to wing up with 999000 or "Nines" as we came to know him when I flew with Precision Squadron.

since Jan 2008.
I've played with some very nice gentlemen, and I've played with some real salamanders.
I'd love for the numbers to be 5X more, there are dozens and dozens of good people I'd love to have back in game.
Sadly, too many of the good guys have passed.

I started in Air Warrior, circa 1998(ish) on the JB's. I haven't seen or heard from JB44, 69 or the rest of them in over a decade though. <S> Those were the days of dial up, pay-by-the-hour plane fights and deathstar B-17's with every gunstation a player.....
Been in the Aces &8's for the last 15 years or so. Not many of us left either, now that you mention it. I managed to stay off the BBS for years, something quite a few people probably wish I had never found.... lol :salute
-
Had more than a few run ins against 999000, don't think I won more than a handful of them.
Anytime I knew 999000 was in the area, if I engaged a set of buffs the pucker factor got real tight real quick.
Having said that, he is one of the most fun players in the game to go up against, cause win or lose, he is always a good sport.
Most times if I encountered buffs in a ME410, I figured I was gonna get at least one or two, maybe the whole set.......not so when facing 999000.........he always seemd to get me before I could get even a single hit on him. Miss playing the game and facing him............ :aok

When your joy stick is working correctly, Miss Flossy. I used to get tears in my eyes flying with you, to see you fight your way home them run off the runway and die up against a tree, among other faux pauxs LOL. Been out of the game for a long time, but still have fond memories of our adventures together.
