It’s weird that nobody in the IL2 forum has sent me any hate filled pm’s after 140 views.

Rats, I forgot. Would you like to be called with names or is it enough if I use contemptuous emojis?     :D

The post on the IL2 forum has 118 views in under a day so not too shabby. And old Air Warrior player replied that he is going to come check it out. I told him to stop in here and he may be surprised who is still around lol. His IL name was Kestral79 not sure if it was the same in AW.

There was a Kestrel way back when. I think they named a field after him at one point in AW, so perhaps.

Other than here, I have not seen this show advertised any on TV.

I guess you have to search for it specifically to find anything about it. I forgot it was just on Apple TV. That would probably be why there is no advertising.

I was looking at writers for Masters of the Air series.

John Orloff wrote a lot of the episodes.  He's they guy who wrote episode 2 of Band of Brothers, the "Day of Days" episode.  Woot!  :aok

Oh, no!

Why not?  We've got 190A-8's (for a couple of frames) and 190D's for all frames.  Also, it's 5 frames worth, from Feb 3 to March 2, so maybe some frame days work out?

Slightly off topic but this is a pretty good interview with Donald Miller about getting Masters of the Air to screen:

Encouraging:

"But each of these missions we bring forward is a chapter and it’s unique. It’s absolutely unique. We don’t try to make anything up.

"‘Fidelity’ was our guide word. Everybody in the plane had a real name and was a real human being. There are no made-up characters or composite characters. These are guys who lived and breathed and walked the Earth."

Unearthed an old player in the IL2 forum thread. Anyone remember?

“I remember AH fondly, a lot of time logged back in the days :) The scenarios and events were the best experiences as a lot of pilots took part in them. Servers were packed and ping/playability very good even for EU players like me. Used to fly with name DB603 years back. Good to see AH is still alive :)
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
