Well, why not starting a post like this, I am in a good mood lately (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
In no particular order, except the first guy:
Aper - he flies Me 109G-6 !! If he would fly to live, we might have a Hartmann record in AH, in very same plane.
Fishu - A great pilot with a great ego (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). To rack up that K/D in Fw 190A-8, you have to have something. What was it ? 200+ kills, no deaths ?
Ypsilon - Constant top scorer, disciplined and quiet guy. Impressive K/D all the time. A bit rusty in ACM though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
Torque - Well, this admiration shouldn't go to far. We have to stay enemies. Allow him even smallest snapshot at 1000 yards and you are ready for a replane. I wonder how he would do in a D-Hog. Then again, what would happen if he would fly to live ? Would Ypsilon's record be endangered ?
Hangtime - This admiration surely doesn't go too far. Great in ACM, knows the P 51 inside out. Sometimes too aggressive. Too bad that we are arch enemies after The Rumble.
Duckwing6 - he flies D-Hog. Enough said.
Lephturn - was always fun to discuss tactic with him in the arena. Somehow he was always close to my 109 when we were online. I just knew we would meet (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
Ripsnort - a great guy for the community. Always nice and helpful. You woulnd't believe how many whines about C-Hog he had to stand in JG2 squad forum and still keep quiet.
Leonid - Back from WB HTH days, he was always there for me, even though I am sure he didn't like all I said in these boards sometimes. Nice guy, I wonder whrere does he get all that patience.
Duma/Lister - Imagine, 16 yo or so ? The guy who beat me in Hurri IIc vs 109F-4 back in WB HTH ladder. I will never forget that one.
Funked - have a question on 190 ? Go ask him. Too bad he switched to the bright side.
MarkAT - back in beta we had 1 on 1 G-10 duel. Wow, could he scissor ! I was so impressed that I decided to let him land, no matter if I win.
Squads:
JG 2 - Many of use were in it. Many things we learned there. Salute !
JG 54 - watch for these guys. They are going for the squad K/D (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
4^Stormo Caccia - the best teamwork I have ever seen. Like a good soccer team. It is always nice to have them on your side.
Sorry if I forgot someone, I might do reposts later.

btw hristo, ive seen people in your squad flying F4u1cs and spits! how DARE they!
-
Okay, I fly Bishops so I can't comment on many pilots on the 'Dark Side'! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) There again, it's pilots I admire and not necessarily those that can spread butter with their wings!
First up I admire EVERYONE in the squad I fly, The 13th TAS whom when together kick serious butt! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Fariz, Citabria, Torque, Hangtime are a few of many pilots I class as UBER! When these guys are around, you know that you are in safe hands!
rollo, dudule, nonoht, Snefens, Beemer If a base needs defending then these guys are almost always there, the unsung heroes!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Bishops would lose many fields if it wasn't for these guys!
Funked, Ripsnort, SCGrey The genuine nice 'bad guys'! I have upmost respect for their fighting and views!
>Pepino I've had many, many a brilliant tank battle with Pepino. If you see a tank coming it was mostly either Pepino or Ripsnort! Tanks can be fun! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Squadrons
357th Pony Express, air squadron, JG53, Arabian Knights, Jpn.F.L 21st.Sq" N. Angels, 308 Sqn.... The AK are persistant buggers and I'm pleased they're Bish for the next few weeks! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) air squadron, well they used to remind me of the Russian wood lice (my favourites!) out of 'A Bugs Life' - very fun and very effective squad when at full strength. As for Jpn.F.L 21st.Sq" N. Angels, well, for a small squad they get damn everywhere!!
Anyway, my mind has gone kinda blank (normal!) so there are MANY other pilots I admire, infact almost all apart from the whiners! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Salute all!

Nath,
our new pilots were ordered to test captured planes (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif). (because some of our newest additions are completely new to) Guess You won't see that in the future.
And something personal to add, You are without a doubt 1 of the finest FW-Pilots in AH, but watch your attitude sometimes. There is no offense from my side, but this could be the reason why you are not on hristos list now.
Hristo,
totally agree, with some additions (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif).
1st: Hristo
2nd: Udie
hehe and the others are my Squaddies, great to fly with all of you.
But I want to <S> ALL AH-Pilots, well almost all (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). U make this game live
SALUTE

Hey Nexx, put yourself in the base defence group too.
I also would like to put Rollo in the "always ready to bring the troops even tho chances of succes are slim" group.

Mostly I respect my squad, The Buccaneers, a true sqad when we are all together.
Whitey our CO and my first ACM teacher. Members; Bourbon, Brackt, Camel, Delta, Gronk, Kraz, Jarbo, Knfe, oosik, reno, Sabre, Stingray and Wabbit.
HiTech, Pyro and gang, And my parents taught me that there was only one God.
The rest of these guys, I can't say that I RESPECT, but...
Zigrat and CavemanJ, - Great motivators and leaders of the Knights.
Storm and Rollo, - always seem to be there at just the right time to foil a sneak capture, yet always seem to be dumping out the troops on a knight field just when I realize that it's too late. <S> (YOU BASTARDS!)
Ypsilon - The K/D king
nin - Just when I think I've got the perfect set-up and kill on a B-17... ping ping ping> there goes my wing, whose the gunner> nin <S> (YOU BASTARD!)
Mitsu - on the rare occasion when he is actually involved in true ACM and not just vulching... wait... my memory fails me, was there ever such a time?
Citabria - One with his computer.
Torque and Hangtime, other popular dweebs.
DoctorYo and hblair - Great fighter pilots.
RAS and BAC, - Especially deadly when they are together.
Bloom25 - always there for the Knights.
Ripsnort, StSanta, and Jigster, It's best to have these guys on your side!
And probably 50 other dweebs.

I could second that list and add a few more to it easily. Camel and Moss hbeing two who gave me fits for my first 8 months here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Now I never bump into them.
I actually admire all the paying AH customers as they're the folks who I have a common interest in: Aces High. Consistant whiners excluded.
- Westy
-
There are alot of guys that I like to fly with and most are far better than I am but as far as admiring any of them wellll..... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
There are those here that always seem to draw attention to themselfs just by their personalities.
There are the leaders like Ripsnort, Udie, Zigrat, Kieren and so on and you have the pilots that everyone loves to kill like Torque, Hblair, Hangtime...but if you want to know the people I admire the most well it would have to be the ones who hardly say anything but do the most.
If there was anyone that stands out in my mind as doing the most but saying the least it would have to be Gronk.
It never fails that if I look at the map and it looks like a base is gonna be in trouble Gronk will already be there in a M16 or tank.

i admire fatty....despite eating too many wings, he makes a really great lawn dart dive too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
Mighty1
Very true,
The Knights map would typically be much less green if it wern't for Gronk. The enemy is finally learning that a base had better be closed completly closed if Gronk is online, otherwise, no capture. <S> Gronk.
-
Here is who I admore
Sunchaser: best damned goon pilot ever, dedicated as hell.
The Wrecking Crew: saved my bellybutton more times than i care to remember
Ripsnort: a super nice guy, never heard him whine
Citabria,nath11,torque,hblair,storm,cobra: these guys have whooped my bellybutton when I should have been doing the whooping with the advantage. Truly great fighter pilots.
Aper: I don't know how this guy works his magic, but he does (don't see him around too much anymore)
Leonid: great pilot and a great guy
-
Wow, thanks to the guys that put me on thier list. 1st time in 5 years I made one of these list (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I have some pilots that I admire.
Berserkr - Best damned wingman you'll ever find.
any and all 900th (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) even those not here in AH.
Citabria - this dude freaked me out he's a better 190 pilot than I am. And he gave me my first defeat on the dueling ladder, which was almost a shut out had I not got lucky on the last 2 fights.
Hangtime - the best 51 pilot in the game?
Torque - like him or not he CAN fly the 1c very well.
Vila - A fight I had w/ him and Worr 3 years ago still to this day ranks as the "best" fight I've had online. Them in 38's me in a 109f. 15 min fight from 11k to 27k before Worr and I collided. That was the day I considered my self "ok" at this hobby.
There's realy toooo many to list. Too many good pilots in AH.
Udie
-
Well, this sounds kinda generic, but, I haven't met anyone I really disliked in AH since I came into beta in V.34. Even Creamo is an okay guy (did I just type that?!?)
Hats off to the trainers that help others, to the Terrain Beta team, to the CM's.
<S> all in AH community, your a fine bunch of friends!
-
Got to also mention couple good guys too which were not mention (Well, Eskimo did mention one)..
Camel, hes nice guy and I've known him since days of Dawn of Aces and flies P-51 pretty good (or has he got rusty lately?)
By-Tor, I remember those duels with him very good and he isn't deadstick pilot.
Pirado, can anyone still remember him? (how can you forget him Hristo? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif) ), he was also great 109 flier when he was still playing in beta.
MarkAT and Hangtime are good ones too (what I remember from the old old days)
Hristo, nuther LW maniac who likes to kill people without hesitation and does not like to get downed (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Ps. all planes together, and with 190 most of those: "fishu has 347 kills and has been killed 0 times."
Now.. who else there were, whos not listed
Cavemanj who i know being good guy since the beta.. even tho hes already listed.

so sh!!!

Awe, shucks, guys. (blush) Originally came here for the flying, but got sidetracked. Call me a "defense specialist" or a "tower squatter" but there's something real satisfying about catching someone in a sneak attempt for an easy base capture, or to sneak one in on them. Gonna swear off vehicles soon, though, and learn to fly them fancy air-chines.

Heh, I don't dare to name names, because I have a very bad memory and would be bound to miss a *lot* of people I really respect.
I love and respect the fun loving, easy going low scoring dweebs as much as I admire the impossible-maneuvers dude like cit, hristo etc.
Gotta give great credit for rip and az from JG2 for keeping me in the G10, and to Hristo for teaching me how to fly the damned thing. To all the great knights who've patiently ignored my rants, songs and ravings, and *still* protected my 6 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
And to my squad for being the coolest one in AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Beside the ones that've been mentioned, guys like eskimo, RAM, naso and the other Italians are neato too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Overall, this community is pretty awesome, and I've learned to ignore those elements who aren't worthy of my attention (and that's not many (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))

Thanks!
I have to echo Eskimo, but Eskimo how could you forget Buhdman! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The Buccs are a great squad to fly with, which Im lucky to be a member of.
It would be easier for me to list the guys I dont respect, much, much shorter list (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Btw, thanks Westy, I used to run into you, Cobra, and Cleaner an awfull lot, great fights! I also havent seen Moss in an age.
You to Fishu(####) Always a great fight! Lots of guys from DOA to remeber, some that come to mind, Kieren, Mighty1, TRM(TRiMmer), Bullzi, Tshred(TS), Mark, Momoa, HO, and brother KO, Blueice, Vladd, Beta communities are so cool.
-
Kieren, Ripsnort, Weazel (I dont mind he has gone to the dark side (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)), Hristo, Rude, aper, Hangtime, Santa, Pongo, Funked...
SO many...
To try to put a list of them is useless...there wont be enough space (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Wow.. thanks for the kind words, all of you.
I'd like to note first that the sim goes far beyond ACM... and scores. There's some oustanding pilots here; yes.. and since I'm looking at this from a satisfaction point of view instead of a popularity contest, I have a few names to add to this list...
What I guess I'm trying to say is that the guys we all fly with and against all should be on this list.. and the first guy I'm gonna name that ain't up here already is TOWD...
... now pick yer jaws back up and consider what makes for a great fight is having a guy in the other plane that wants yer head on a platter, yesterday. TOWD will come back for your throat no matter what the odds.. and he's not too shabby a stick to boot. <S!> TOWD.. yah miserable bum. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Same fer that chute shootin dog Creamo.. <s!>
On the map savvy, 'damn, he's defending, there goes the milkrun' list I can't believe Cobra, Sniper and Cavey got missed..
Then there's the guys that should yah run across them at alt, yer in trouble. Fariz, Kbman, Kieren and Cavey again...
But high on my list for big trouble in any tight spot in the sky are Mitsu, Torque, Hblair Udie and Citabria. Possibly the best all around killers in the sim.
There are dozens of others, some I hunt just because I'll get a damn good fight, they retain superb SA and will ALWAYS do their damndest and the hell with the odds (I wing with some of these guys for the same reasons).... My picks as the best pilots in anything at anytime or place (in no particular order).. Zigrat, Udie, Berserker, Hblair, Wardog, Coyo, Toad, PC, Yeager, Citabria, StSanta, Hristo (the braggart (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)), RAM, SAW, Weazel, StEx, Ammo, Camel, Verm, Lephturn, Sox, SCDuckwing, Nash ... there are dozens more.. who can list them all? Any of these guys will strip yer undies off in a tussel and you'll wonder how they did it fer weeks. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Finally.. here's a short list of the best damn wingmen in any sim anywhere, anyplace... anytime. Bear in mind my picks here are prejudiced.. I used to fly with them every night for months... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Thunder, Beemer, Yeager, Toad, Nexx and PC. Salute gents.. you are the best of the best. I guess I'd have to add Rude here too.. just because I love to steal his kills. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
A second salute to Thunder... just because he deserves it. <S!>
As always.. I find the adversarys in this sim to be most worthy and competent when flyin.. not typin. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Lastly; my vote fer the only gentleman pilot in this gawdamned sim, a good stick, no swelled head, just good flyin, always there for his squaddies, his countrymen, he gets my vote fer a cold beer in his hand forever; a guy thats always got a smile fer a flamefest and pokes us all in the right direction when we stray on line or off..
Swager. Salute, bud. And thanks for makin this sim more enjoyable for all of us. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Wha? I didn't make your list Hang? I'm hurt.. hehe (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) just pullin your leg of course. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I feel hurt I wasn't listed, so I nominate myself for AH pilot I admire. No wait.. that doesn't work. Damn it!
Do sheep count? :-)

-
I'll make a deal with you I'll nominate you if you nominate me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
I admire all who are in it for the spirit of the SIM. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
There are too many pilots that it admire and respect to list. MarkAT comes to mind because he always helps and is a great pilot. Hangtime,HiTech,Heater and Ice are great 51 drivers and I love to wing them. I admire Fishu.. (believe it or not! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )for his flying abilities, SA, and choosing his fight. Mistu, Hristo, Lephturn, Torque, Fariz, Camel, CavemanJ, Zigrat, Citabria, hblair,Udie,Vila, RAM, Weazel, Joemud, aper, Pongo, FunkedUp are great sticks. But I have to say one Pilot I respect "greatly' is a newer guy to AH but an old veteran to flight sims. That pilot is "DREX"! He pick his fights, flys into what looks like overwelming odds and flys away clean with multiples heading to a firey grave! Creamo.. for just being Creamo! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) PapaFox.. one of the best pilots for precision acrobatics. And of course the intire 13th TAS Sqadron! There so many others I am sorry for not mentioning
-
Man so many different personalities.
I prefer the word respect to admire.
Guys that have stand out of the crowd:
Manuver and sa skills. Of the people I have fought more than a few times I have to give that to Frenchy. No matter how well I set it up. How carfull I am or how many friends I bring. Frenchy shows me the door every time. And there is no warping sillyness, no spraying head on nothing that cant be explained simply by supperior skill.
Leaders.
Well Zigrat of course. Caveman. Cobra. I dont think it takes leadership to set up a vulch, the best leaders bring the goods and the pilots to make shure there is no vulch.
Playing this game the way they like it. Wolf, TOWD. Lots of bad guys there too but its easier to pick out the friendlies for that one.
Flexibility, reliability best wingman. My Buddy Soda. Excellent stick, excellent fighter, excellent bomber. Plays smart. What do you need. He will bring it and succeed if at all possible.
Most dangerous guy to attack.
Gota still go to the blue hog of torque. Man I hate to lose a fight I start out with the advantage in. But that is my usual experiance with torqy. Very thick skin too..
Best squad attacks. Muskiteers
Best squad cohesion. FDBs. These guys belong together!
Best squad to fly with Wrecking Crew!
Guys I miss the most. Bull, RedStar, NineZ.

Thank you thank you! I know I won the vote for favorite pilot. I mean who else would show up with a c47 full of scantily clad carribean hula chics whenever someone calls for a "Buff"?

I'll list the guys that, after first pass I KNOW I'm up against a dangerous opponent.These same guys not only beat me more often than not,but are 'good winners' also.These are the guys that keep me coming back for more,win or lose.Sometimes I get so caught up watching thier gracefull moves,that I forget that I'm in a 'do or die'situation. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)Of course,I am swiftly prosecuted for the lapse!
Kieren-great pilot and gentleman
Mighty-same as above-good gene pool I suppose (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
EZ-This guy flys BnZ type planes more agressively than most fly Spits!
Camel-only had the pleasure a short while in beta,but the memory lingers (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Fishu-(for a 190 driver,this guy took me to school in my own angle-fighting game.
Cavalier-beats me at my own game.
Racerx-ditto
Rod-ditto
Hblair-requires no explanation (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Udie-have only flown against a couple times but it was immediately made clear to me I was about to perish!
All told,as an Ex-Warbird pilot,I am still amazed at the VERY high skill level of even the avg.pilots in AH.We have logged some SERIOUS hours of combat time!
There are many other great sticks out there,this is just my 'shortlist'of the ones that have burned themselves into my recall (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Salute all that share this passion of mine.
By-Tor

Guess ill play.
I hate sounding PC, but the truth is I havent met anyone i didnt have fun with. One clown was throwing racial slurs around once. H T canned his bellybutton quick. He is about the only bad memory I have.
On my special list.
HB. he,s and old ACA pal.
torque. best shot ive seen.
Kieren. My favorite hippy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Mitsu. Best TnB man Ive run into.
Bytor. Big fun. And a class act.
-
Pilots i admire (given that admiration and Skill are not always mutually inclusive) and in no particular order:
Mitsu, citabria, torque, act, stsanta, wardog, RWY, leonid, hangtime, TASLH (for continuely going up in the face of vultching and being a good sport), jekyll, eagler (for allways getting shot down by me trying to capture vehicle bases), hristo/stoickov (for amazing 109 flying), xtreme, manedew for all the assistance he gives, raxx (for the good natured kiwi vs kiwi fights), in fact all the pilots that give me a reasonable fight and dont start making excuses or moaning on chnl 1.
Sqauds:
- 357th (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
- 13th TAS
- JG2
- JG54
All those that i have shot down, and have shot me down <S>.
Spat.
-
I have to vote for rude, even though he has been awol. Second for beemer who has taught me most everything I know to date. Third to ghosth , who spent his free time in the training arena helping me out. Appreciate the knowledge passed on. <S> to my peers. Special salute to all 13th tas. These guys can go vertical with anyone in AH.
-
Hmm, lemme see.......
Well to quantify my pick, I start with the fact that there are alotta GREAT simmers in here, but when we get down to admiring people I don't judge a gamers' skill, nearly as much as his ATTITUDE.
Seems we sometimes forget this is a game, and that we are here to play together, to make each other welcome, to enjoy ourselves by escaping our REAL LIFE commitments for a few minutes or hours, and mix with others who share our intrests, hobbies, and passion for Warplanes of a by-gone era.
That being said, I admire Argyll.
Earlier this year when I switched over from WB, at HBLAIR's request, we were just two guys from our old squad, alot of times I was online alone, tryin to learn the AH world, and I sorta bumped into Argyll from time to time, he always had a positive attitude, usually greeted me before I saw him, and was ready with a "WTG" even when it wasn't really earned on my part.
He made me feel good, and this gave me the feeling of welcome to AH, as well as feeling that I was an accepted member of the AH community.
Since that time I have tried to emulate his behavior, little things like returning the greeting when new guys type their 1st HELLO, and trying to give a <SALUTE> and some sorta positive remark after every sortie to those I mixed with. This way I hope the comraderie will spread, and allow people to enjoy the game as much as I enjoy the game.

I agree milnko....I've known Argyll for 25 years....and I admire him for a number of reasons.
What you wrote about is true Argyll....he'll give you a hand anytime anywhere!!
I admire pretty much all that were mentioned - there aint a day goes by one of those guys don't teach me a lesson (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
As the Blue Angels say...."I'm just happy to be here sir!"

What can I say?
Sure like you Nose art!! I think she's the best DAMN PILOT IN AH!!!!!!!!!!
she can shoot me down anyday (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I am flattered by the kind comments... let me add a few that stick out (but by no means is the list all-inclusive):
Mighty1- my brother and the guy that makes me laugh harder than anyone I know.
The entire CM and Training corps- we've spent a lot of time together, and the trip has been great.
By-Tor- just as he said of me, he is one of those guys that makes you feel great win or lose.
Exile and Mason22- what a great ladder we have, and many other things you guys don't even know about. Great combo!
HTC crew (et al) for not only creating this sim, but putting enough trust in the community to allow us to impact directly the course of the sim (again, in many more ways than most of you know).
Finally, the community itself- sure, there are the occasional tiffs with personalities, but all-in-all it's a great place to spend one's spare time. Like easymo said, the truly offense ones never stay for too long (or they clean up their acts!). I have many friends from all the sims I've played here, and I have also found new friends from sims I haven't played. It's been a great melting pot, to be sure!

I admire flight sim talent who remember that this is just a game, as well as pilots with a gentleman's class....
Hmmm...in torque's case I forgive him for the class part, but he makes up for it in his humor.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I am NOT trying to change thread, but must say that more than FM, eye candy, or fancy game options, it's the quality of people(notice I didn't just say pilot) that has caused me to switch from that "other" sim.
-
frenchy and hang they fight like sons of squeakes and i respect both these guys even when they dont have alt.
the wreckin crew i must admit i am amazed at the preseverance and skill of these guys even tho im in the squad good men all ( cept cave hes a known subversive type) hehe
zig cause you might be better than me, dont know we have never really faught and in a way i cinda dont want to know hehe
there are others that good but they always become score slaves it seems and i dont hardly see um any more ( they usualy at 25 k holdin hands like nancy boys tend to do when no ones lookin.)
there are others by the score but my brain dosent have all the names at hand ( to much drinkin ) but <S> all yall that fight and piss on the rest.
-
Gonna throw mine in the pot.
Ripsnort - Excellent leader.
Comanche - My brother & another aggressive hog driver.
Mr.Bean - Can't believe his SA.
hblair - His skills aside, I like da guy.
zigrat - Great coordinator. Gets the Knights together quicker than anyone. Fun to fly with too.
cavemanj - I like winging with this guy. I don't have to do much (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Swager - Will call a 6 in a heart beat.
AKSeawulfe - Beats me up on a regular basis but always has a <S> for me in the buffer.
Thunder - We were squaddies in the other sim (ya knew me as sky, thunder (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). oops, cat's outta the bag). Want to learn the P51, talk to this guy.
2 guys that aren't here now, but will probably return (I hope).
Hooligan - Consistent top 10. For those of you who didn't fly WB and not taking anything from Torque, but he is the consumate big blue driver.
Last but certainly not least, Lazs - You guys should hear him on RW! This guy is a riot, lol.

I tried to make my list, then found it too long.
Great community, great game.
Fariz

hi all:
good god, where to start.
well the Wreckin crew, love flying with all these guys, helps me get a few more kills in.
Frenchy, this guy will salute you no matter what, all around great sport and fun to fly against, unless I know its him then, me thinks its time to run like hell.
Bash, when this guy is defending a field, it can take hours to take if you get it it all, but great to fly against.
Nash, gee I dont think I have ever shot this guy down, but he sure as hell trashed me alot.
hmmmmmm, thinking
hangtime, god I hate seeing that high p-38 when i'm buffing, I just know i'm in trouble, kills buffs better then anybody I think.
sunchser and 715, you need a goon driver, these guys are always ready, willing and able to goon.
and I better not forget my own squad, or i'll probably end up tied to the bottem of a tank,
the THUNDER BIRD squad is a great bunch of guys to fly with, when they are not planning a munity. (dont think that is speeled right)
god there are so many more to add, but seem to be experancing brain lock, so this will have to do for now.

Thanks for the mention fellas. Really is cool to see that other pilots notice your skills and/or manners in the arena.
Just about everybody in this thread has my respect when I see them in the arena. Lots of skilled pilots here as well as class act guys...
-
Dang Camel, I did forget Buhdman, was going alphbeticaly, 3 B Bucs, sorry Buhdman...
and Fariz, my Nemisis, come back you dweeb.
The more I think about it there has got to be at least 100 Bish and Rooks that regularly kick my butt, and prolly at least as many Knights that I'm glad are on my side.
I've even met a lot of newbies that learn amazingly fast, and/or make me laugh daily.
<S> to everyone

LOL, I do not like only 2 people in this game, and you are not in the list for sure (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I will come back as soon as I will get a time and money for a game.

Gee, thanks Fariz. It makes me feel good just to know that I have been excluded from at least one person's "Two Most Hated List". LOL. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Hmm, that could be an ugly thread.

What about the all time great Mitsu?
Or me I have the highest death to kill numbers in the sim! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Oh you want me to kill more than I die? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)
Never mind. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I Hate It When That Happens!

Remember this thread?
Alot of these guys do not fly anymore. Or fly under a different handle that we dont know of.
So what are your answers now after 2 years?
Enjoy
:)
-
My observation is 75% of arena Great bunch of Guys.
I owe Mw's alot. Came from Warbirds, And they taught me ins and outs of Ace;s high. Mwreaper is great guy. ( and you can use his Undies as a sail for your boats extra bonus) Running side joke thats been over done:)
Grimco. Nice guy great missions
HTTP. Kinda guy you want on your side.
BGmaw the first guy I winged with, Thought hey if all like this guy SCREW warbirds.
Haven't flown with the AK's but I can say if its as much fun to fly with as it is to fly against
And I like SHANE He like to talk (LIKE ME). And is good pilot that gets alot of abuse cause of his skill, and most crap runs off his back. I bet out on town you'd bust a nut with him, Or get into alot of fights.
-
Swager
Squads
Impossible to remember all of them. AK's have the best sense of humor for sure.
Assassins, well just cus a post like this automatically brings up thier name.
Firebirds, Nexx is a bud.
Pilots, no particular order
All of the Tas, past and present. Speaking of which, rumor has RWY coming back soon:)
AKcurly , Flossy , usarmy , ammo , nimitz
-
Kieren -great guy from DOA and of course here
Frodo -great guy from warbirds and here too
999000 -always doing his quiet helpful buff thing
BNShill -always encouraged me
Gabreski -always had me cracking up
Wilbuz -always encouraging and nice
Nomde -always a nice guy
Yeager - from DOA mistakeless fighter AH nice guy too
Kumori -former squaddie and always a great guy
Most of the Damned :)

I must have missed this one the first time. I can't believe I didn't come in there and toot my own horn.
Alas all I am now is a BBS ace. My fiter skillz have gone the way of the Yugo. :)

as has been noted before, it's hard to name just a few pilots when there are so many that deserve recognition.
to name off a few that spring to mind real quick.. .
dinger and funked - real smart guys, even if they are raiders fans.
the assassins... always level headed, and they're all excellent sticks. one day i hope to be as good as hblair in the 109, but i dont think it'll ever happen.
drex.. for the best pilot in AH, he's sure down to earth. talk about charismatic. the one chance i had to fly wing with him (at the 2001 con) i passed out on my keyboard. :(
hitech - when he does fly, he's dominating. got a chance to fly with him a few weeks ago and i was surprised how sharp he was in the d-hog. i've got guys all over me and this deep voice comes over the radio saying he's on em, and two seconds later i'm all clear.
-
I would like to thank my fans, family, and all the little people that made this happen..........
-
the one I admire most.....
the one I just killed and opens his chute.....brave brave man:D
my friend....my squadmate...Mr.Hedd.....its not a question of admiring...but more of respect.....63 years old and landing kills on a daily bases....he will follow me to hell an back......a big <> to you Sir.
Dsrtrat, Nexx, Busher, Evade, Krzyhors, Nord, Hedd, Gwjr, Cmdr, FurBall, JoeD, Sirloin.....etc etc
<>to the best squadmates
and the most deserving
Bishop ROOKS...KNIGHTS a very BIG <>
you guys bring enjoyment to my virtual life....
-
Thanks for pulling that thread to the top, it was interesting to read. The AH community seems to have a much different persona nowadays than back in 1999-2000. I can't believe these guys were nice to each other, and had good things to say, and didn't hijack the threads with mindless nonsense! These were the type of threads I could read without worrying about who was mouthing off and putting a sour taste in my mouth...
As for most respected pilots:
AKCurly: Curly is a great guy who always has time for chat and will volunteer to fly ANYTHING!
AKPreon: Preon is the person who first introduced me to AH, and he still teaches me something new almost every time I'm on.
Wilbuz: Talk about personal help... This gentleman has taken plenty of time to write me emails on tips for the 190 and 109, and I've enjoyed learning them since he gave me continual advice.
Fariz: While an incredible pilot, he is also very friendly and a staple for Bish winning that evening!
Kisters: While I don't know him that well, we seem to say a big Hello and every time we see each other, the same goes for the next guy, who's a fellow 190 driver:
KrZyHoRs: Bud.
Urchin: Always friendly and posting helpful information on the Help and Training Forum, I've learned quite a bit from Urchin!
The list goes on, but schoolwork calls. These are just a few of the people I can say I honestly admire and who make this game an enjoyable experience!
-
Admiration... I dunno about that - but there are a few sticks I respect based on their behavior.
Most of them are in my squad, the remainder are people I know from years back on AW.
The rest I dont think stand out all that much, or I dont know them well enough.
In terms of what squad I respect/admire - aside from my own - is the 56th FG - you would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of sticks in the virtual skies.
-
Myself...:rolleyes:
-
Skill means nothing to me when I think of who I admire.
I think highly of everyone in my squad for one reason or another. Ghosth has been a solid X.O. for years. Old friends harppa, woodog, wilbuz come to mind with their hearts of gold. The CM’s are doing great work. banana was a solid Head CM, often wish he still was. Swoop and the CAP team, amazing what they have done to make their event successful. Sundog as head of the terrain team is fantastic. Hening for not giving up and proving me wrong. Flossy is a gem. Many of the AW members on the CM team, tilt is as sharp as they get… so many. Snapshot and TOD teams. Many of the CT regulars…
-
It is flattering beyond belief to be mentioned in this post since I really basically suck at playing this sim :).
I can't name all the people I respect here, there are many, especially those who are members of my squad, the 56th.
It is the interaction with such a fine group that keeps me comming back. I beleive this to be a really "top drawer" virtual community.
To HTC as a group I have the utmost admiration. They provided us with a means to live our fantasies and provided us with a great stress releiver. I personaly would have probably gone off the deep end at times were it not for this great group of people and this passtime.
-
What arena do you guys play in? I hope someday ill be good enough to be on someones list
-
Hey Meddog, Thanks for the calls and running to my rescue when I was flying a goon today.
PS.. I'll never try to HO a P-51 in a goon again.

Q: who the heck are all these young puppies?? I know all the vets.. but these new guys... wtf are they smokin?
(i.e. ; where do i get some??)

AH pilots you DON'T admire:
wetrat :)
-
The guys I admire are the friends that I play this silly game with. The guys I've had great fights with.
The 332nd that welcomed me to this game. Great people. The Blue Knights, the guys I fly with on a nightly basis, Apache, Lazs, Rickt and Codger. Five nights a week I KNOW they will be on to have a laugh with. That IS the game, the fun.
Haven't been here long enough, but I've learned a lone 109 has a good chance of being hblair and wonderful fights will follow. The essence of this game is a fight with a good opponent and I've been fortunate to have a few with hblair. Might win one day, but that doesn't really matter.
A good fight with a gentlemen opponent is the best this game has to offer. There are quite a few gentlemen out there. Had some wonderful fights. A gentlemen makes me smile. The passion shows.
It's the game for me.

Just looked into this thread out of curiousity..... and very surprised to see myself mentioned a couple of times! :eek: LOL... thanks to Sax and Daddog for your kind words.... :o
Well, not sure if I could name everybody I admire.... I would probably miss somebody out, and the list would be very long.... I would like to mention Daddog and everyone on the CM Team, though, and to say thanks for the past year as I approach my first anniversary in it (tomorrow).... thanks especially to banana who took me on this time last year. :)

Not many Rooks seem to have posted here.
First and foremost: Boxboy28. I simple wallpaper on your computer sparked this whole thing for me back in April.
Second: My squad NAZGUL. These guys are classy at the same time, joking and taking names later. Goth, Helm, AX, Melkor, Box the four of you have taught me so much in these 10-odd months that thanks isn't enough. PALE, the jokes that get shared are great. Larokkit, where have you been hiding?, DIE and Vol, ALWAYS fun flying with you and rousing the cons.
Melkor (CO), I do apologize that lately I haven't been able to save you a couple of times, it isn't deliberate, I just hate going into fights w/o alt unless absolutely necessary. Working on it :)
Fellow Rooks:
Sea Serpents: Zappy (Zaphod), LIAKA, Strab (you lone wolf :)), SSV2, and the rest of you.
CAF, Odd (You Jarhead, bellybutton kicking, SOB! :)), Grimm, Keeb (Kblr), Ian, and the rest.
Flying Tigers: FTJR, DEEP, Seeker (They call me the Seeker) and the rest.
Assorted Rooks: MANDOBLE, Defiance, Whels, JB79, 26, Shane, Rod367th, Ducttape, BTDiver, BTEmil, Japanx, Mutley ("Heheheeehehee"), Widewing, KKEN, and anyone else I have ever cleared, been cleared by.
Fellow cons: bkhwk, The Flying Circus, LIMMI, LEES, Frogman, Mathman (that f^&king F6F, I've tagged you a couple ), Curval, Rip, we've met in the skies once, and I lived for about 5 minutes and tried to make it interesting. ammo, Puck, Fariz, Apache, Flossy, Hazed, Daddog (DD) and the others who take the time to when 'd too, or vice-versa.
I've bored you guys long enough. to all. I do bust balls on ch.1, Do NOT EVER take offense to it. This is a great bunch of ladies (first) and gentlemen
