<Proud Father Mode On>
Geeman is now a paying member of Aces High, and confirmed by HTC as youngest online paying member in Aces High. (Not youngest 'acting'...youngest paying member!)

Please give him a warm welcome to the community, though he is just starting to read, he will be able to read all your replies in 6 months to a year from now!

Welcome Geeman!

(Now, if I could just get him to stop shooting the green guys, and focus attention on the red ones... heheh! )

Oh, his background and age:
He started flying Warbirds in HTH mode with me back when he was 2 1/2...wasn't out of diapers yet, but he could sure auger pretty good!  Flew Warbirds offline and HTH with dad until 3 weeks ago when he got a faster computer that would allow him to fly Aces High...he turned 5 years old last Saturday.
A 2.5 year flight simulation veteran!  He still have problems landing, but we'll work on that one!

Thks for replies, guys, I'm sure he'll laugh at all this when he's a year older!  Here's his pic this morning (on a lousy Puter cam) in his jammies, note he doesn't sit down because his brother just finished soaking the chair with a wet diaper!
Note: His brother has his own puter now too, as seen next to Geeman's...going to be interesting in about 5 years from now w/3 Rip's online!

Ram, theres a reason he's flying the Spitfire...at first, he flew whatever ride I was in, but he soon discovered that the F4U has some vicious spin characteristics if you ham-fist the controls...he's discovered the Barbie-fire and its easy control system...just goes to show you that even a 5 year old can master the Barbie-fire very easily, thus being one of the best training aircraft.

I guess u don't allow him to fly the nik.
It would spoil his education  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Cit, I been playing since I was 12 Yrs old in dark rooms or sitting sometimes close enough to the monitor to be able to drool on it as I close in and kill someone... 7 3/4 years later my eyesight is still 20/20(or better so says the doc).

The only problem I got is everytime I hear someone calling and I quickly look I see ANOTHER G'DAMNED RED ICON SHOOTING AT ME!!!!
