You all remember when AW was on AOL and you had to run the AOL timer program to keep answering the prompts from AOL so they wouldn't boot you off while you were in the game.  As I remember, I think AOL asked you about every 20 minutes.

My first Air Warrior scenario and maybe Air Warriors first was the Doolittle raid. That was back in the 80's. Does that qualify? It overloaded the servers so bad they had to launch from land, for some reason a CV wouldnt work.

Grey Eagle in the p51 mustang! I played in the early 90's on Compuserve, then played AW on Gamestorm in the mid 90's. I played Aces High for a few years in the early 2000's. I was going to come back in about 2005 but got hooked on World of Warcraft! I'm 64 now. Just reminiscing, and I stumbled on your post. I remember Dok Gonzo, Vossman, Holmes, Dead Duck, Wild Thing, SpellBound, and of course Hi-Tech :) Just registered to say hi!

Come play in our October scenario!  In the tradition of scenarios started in 1993 by Dok Gonzo.  Still going strong!  :aok
