Not that I want to, but I have to. What I feared finally caught up with me. I still have no job, I'm moving out of my appartment for the new year.
I have no idea what will happen next, all I know is that I have a place to stay for 1 week, $50 on my bank account, a Seibring convertible and 1.5 month left before I'm becoming illegal in USA :cool:
Looks like the skies will count 1 less P47 :p . Hitech's team, I had a ball in this sim since I played it in beta, you guys were my main source of fun for more than 2 years... Priceless.
Since I came in, I made a lot of friends, mostly meeting them by fighting them. Don't feel offended if I don't name you 1 by 1, you guys know who you are :D
A special mention for my squad, the 56thFG. We met after 1.04, when the FM change made pilots flying the P47 regularly less than 10. Along the year we didn't lost our initial goal and we are still flying the big one.(thx to CT, we don't have to fight ordes of Spits,LA7s anymore :D )
Folks, go easy on Nomde. A true dedicated wingman, rarely in the spotlight but always there to help shoot down people. He even helped me IRL when I needed a roof for a week hehehe, he's great.
So long all, <raising glass of wine>
To HTC,
to our fun,
to the 56th,
to Nomde.

NB : I still couldn't fly my Golly-gee gabby's D25!!!

Frenchy I hope you'll get a new start soon, but I'm pretty sure you're resourceful enough to pass through this unscathed.
If, for some reasons, you come to Belgium and need some help, just let me know.
-
Aww man :(
Thanks for all your help frenchy, you've helped me tremendously in that big ugly bird.. I hope to see you back soon.
Good luck to you where ever that bumpy road should take you. You may have to suck up your pride and take a low paying job somewhere, so you can have money to live on. Been there, done that.. <S> to you. :(
<S>Amon
-
Don't forget to come back and see us when you get all this squared away.
Take Care!
-
<S> I'll try to keep the fear active when they see the 8 barrels until your return. Good luck with your life. Your attitude should lead you to stability soon. Get back here as fast.

If you have half the skills in real life than you have with that piece of iron in here, I trust someone should hire you soon.
I know I would if I'd have a fleet or something simillar (hey..if you want to do some webdev... and come to rainy brussels...but the pay is not soo great) :)
Best of luck Frenchy, I have faith in you <Salute!>

<SALUTE!>
Really sad to see you go.
But I'm sure everything turns good and as you're a class act you'll find a solution to your situation. Don't say goodbye, say brb!
Cya later Frenchy!
-
Good luck frenchy, Im sure you will fight back to your feet again.
This being caused by sept 11 attack makes it all the more infuriating im sure.
that bastard Osama bin ladin has a lot to answer for.
My only suggestion is to maybe try to do some traveling which you would never have done due to ties to work/rent etc.
REMEMBER all those times you put off doing something BECAUSE you was busy working or had too many responsibilities to do.I know you have little money but sell that car and all that stuff you dont need and spend it on traveling?
I know its lame but maybe it will help

Frenchy, Your D30 will be waiting for you on the tarmac when you get back. I am gonna let nomde keep it polished and run it up from time to time. I even may take it into combat to blow the preverbial dust out...so to speak.
May God Be with you

Frenchy,
You never wrote back but you asked for help with job leads, and I did a lot of digging to help you find some. Did you follow up on them?
-
Frenchy,
Though we hardly know each other, I will miss seeing your name in the skies. I wish you my best.
-

Best of luck in your search, Oly. I know we will see your jug flying in AH again. <S>

One of my most respected despised enemies is leaving. The MA will be the worse for your leaving. I hope everything will work out, and I am sure it will. Get things straightened out fast and get back here soon.
<S> Frenchy, thanks for the fights and I will be looking forward to the ones we will have when you get back!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
Dammit frenchy: FIND A JOB NOW!
Or rather: US AH'ers: help Frenchy get a job!
This dude is one cool class act: always polite, always nice, great stick.
Frenchy, if you must move because you don't find a job, please tell me that you'll be back
Ugh :(
<S!> Frenchy
-
Sad news indeed, hope you get this all worked out Frenchy and hurry back when you can, <S>!
-
Frenchy!!!Good luck!-Was a pleasure getting shot by you!-You'll be back!..<S!>
-
Get a job and come back soon. I'll periodically whoop some bellybutton in my D-11 so folks don't get to complacent around Jugs. And drex might help a little too. :)
-
If you travel up the Maryland way (it is north of Florida), look me up. I'd be glad to have you stay for a couple weeks or whatever, to help you get back on your feet.
Email is shodges@cablespeed.net.

Frenchy, did you try looking in the Pacifc NW. Lotta little puddle jumping airlines in the Puget Sound region. Alot of seaplane hopping from island to island.
Hope you get it worked out.

S! frenchy!
hope it works out for you.
everyone I know trying to make a career as a pilot aside froma lucky few are either:
a. jobless
b. furloughed
c. on reserve
d. part time
e. still looking for their first flying job
almost all employers are on a hiring freeze since they have more pilots than they need.
-
Frenchy<S>
you are one of the true masters and class acts in this game. Was always a pleasure having all my advantage dragged away by you in that horrible pile of scrap metal.
Good luck where ever you end up and hope to see you dragging a wing below me some time soon...
take care.
-
Good luck Frenchy. You're a legend here in Aces High. When I think of you, I think about French in the Black Sheep Squadron on TV. Take care mate. <S>

Sorry to hear that Frenchy, :(
I really hope you get sorted out soon, we need you in AH.
Salute!

A flying job!
DUDE, GO TO ALASKA!
Pilots and flying jobs are about as common in
Alaska as migrant pickers are in farm country. If you don't mind hauling fishermen and hunters around in a Beaver or other light plane, Alaska is the place to go.
At one point I had 3 roommates that were all pilots in Alaska. 2 of them were from Germany, they both got jobs rather quickly and flew all summer.
An old fiennd of mine moved to Alaska in the late 80s to pursue a air career, he now flies big jets all over the world.
Another good friend just started his career a few years ago and was flying DC-3s and DC-8s in no time. (Career is now on hold for shmucking-up a landing on a DC-8 as co-pilot)
If you can hold out till spring, air services hire pilots like Mcdonalds hires fry cooks.
Good luck.

Thank you for your support folks, very touching. I'm working on Alaska, I hate the sun so I guess I will be like a fish in the water over there.
Ok, time to move my PC, again : <salute> and thank you.
<Poof>

<S> Frenchy!
You know that $50 is good for 3 months. Send it to HTC before you spend it on something silly like food or bills. ;)
Hope to see you again soon!

I remember the first night I was In the MA, Well the first night I had decided to fly AH perementaly and give up FA for good. I was in a panzer and heading out to whear Frenchy was parked covering a spawn point, a Typhoon came in low and i got him with my MG 34, frenchy got a pice of him and we talked about the game for a while he told me I could join his squad and they would help me all they could to learn how to play AH, although he was not shure I would stay since he had seen a lot of FA guyes come and go.
From that day till this one frenchy has always impresed me, with his flying skills and generaly exempalery conduct, in the game and on the BBS.
<S> Frenchy, good hunting and God's Speed, in bringing you back to us.

Frenchy <<S>> I am very sorry to see you go. You are a most worthy adversary and a gentlemen also! You're conditions will improve, and I know you will be back here with us again. As we said during the 60s' "Keep the Faith" and I do hope to see you soon.

Frenchy.......Great big Salute
you have always been a class act, and nobody flies the P47 better then you. was always great flying against you, and I think I might have won once, but there where probably five of us against you, and Im sure you got four of us first.
Hey, If you want to come to Canada and hide in my basement, I don't see a problem with that, but you will have to teach me to fly. And with a name like Frenchy, who will be the wiser in this country.
Well best of luck to you Frenchy, I was in a simaler spot last Feb, but I did make it back, So I am sure you will make it back in time. see you soon.
-
<S> Frenchy good luck. If you ever come to California look me up. :)
PS does Nomde stand for Nom de Guerre?
-
SALUTE SIR!
It was always winging with you and flying against you! Hurry back!!
