Title: A very hard decision had to be made
Post by: Rocket on June 16, 2000, 11:23:00 PM

The reporters come to a hush and all cameras point to the microphones in the center of the stage.  A very worn out Rocket comes from out of the left wing and walks up to the microphones.  <camera shutters click> Rocket pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and clears his throat.<microphone feedback><tap tap tap>

To all my good friends and enemies in AH,
   It is with a heavy heart that I write this post.  In the past month my car blew up and my roof started leaking badly.  So I have to give up my addiction to Aces High for a few months.  I will still by flying in H2H and on the Ladder, but I will be unable to fly in the arenas.  
   I will miss the action and the fights for sure.  The community here is the best and I hope it grows tighter as it grows stronger.
    The upside to this is I should be able to get some more help pages up on the Red Dragons site for Aces High.  Redwing has been buggin me for more stuff and I had it on the back burner. I will still be here reading posts daily.  
    If ya need a target drone just look me up in H2H   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
    So to those who have endlessly shot me down and to those that have wandered across my gunsight occasionally I give you all the biggest <SALUTE> that I can and hope to be back amongst the arena pilots as soon as I feasably can!


<SALUTE!>

Rocket hangs his head and slowly walks off the stage leaving the crowd of reporters to stare at his tattered and beaten F4U-1D as they try to yell questions.

 You are about to discover that in many ways H2H is even more fun than the arena. I have never been much of a turn fighter. So I decided to spend a month in H2H. I havent been disappointed. Lots of TnB. When you get back to the arena you will be even, a better pilot  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

 Good luck on the grown up stuff. It will get better. It always does (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
