Man that was long ago  :)

It was a 51 I think. We had a 109, a spit and one more ,that I cant remember, to choose from.

i flew the spitV and spitIX mostly for the longest time starting in AH1.  I always wanted to be able to fly the 51D back then cause it's my fav of all WWII planes.  I'd encounter guys like SkatSr and OlDemon and a few others I always admired how they flew it.  Now I pretty much fly the 51D exclusively but still pale in comparison to those folks with it.  Though I have gotten better in it.

Spitfire Mk IX.  It was the only Spitfire in the original beta and that is what I can here to "fly", Spitfires.

First combat I had was against another Spitfire Mk IX.  I won, though it wasn't pretty.

109G2, took off from a capped base not knowing what was going on, got into a scissor fight with a P51d and shot him down.



After that I never got a kill for another 15 sorties heh

B-17

I think I might have gotten down the runway, but I'm not sure I ever got above ~20 ft AGL before loosing height and 'landing' off the end of the runway again.

Then I uninstalled the game, thinking it was one of those many games no longer in development, and that had been designed for DOS or something  :P  (I think I must have had it on 128 textures or something similar, lol)
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

No kill but my first flight in AH was in beta3.

Lifted off in a 51D and climbed up to 10k. Saw a B17 above so I chased and climbed to 20k trying to get him. Trying to get a gun solution on him I went into a spin. From 20k to 5k then I pulled out of the stall but was deadstick. Made it back to base for a safe landing.

I'll always remember the intensity of that first flight, my addiction had just started and continues to this day.

I think there were 4 possibly 5 in beta.

First day in Beta, logged on to secure my handle :)

Upped a P-51, and patrolled the mountains and valleys of the beta map.
