I will see if I can find my patches..  I was Allied CO for Rabaul we had 12 F4Us and 6 B25s and everyone else was in A6Ms.  We only lost one F4U.. yeah it was me, I was typing...  it was a complete massacre.  There were two Kursks.. and Both of them and Rabaul were by Dok.  The Midway one I am not sure about.

The Midway one was an all day event I believe the first year I flew AW, it was pre October 90 which is when I went to the 90 AW Houston Con.  Met Nobaddy there along with Airmiggan, Kelton, Ridgerunner, and a lot of other people I forget.. I am in the process of looking at scanning my photos from my airshows I went too years ago and I am sure I have photos of Cons.. I will try and get them uploaded somewhere and share them.. it's going to be a while, I have not been doing the best.

Are any Turkey Ham squaddies still around? Only one I remember was Slug. A proctologist from East Coast. Dont you think we didnt have any fun w that.

Wasn't the Turkey Ham squadron the first group to graduate from the AirWarrior Training Academy?  Like  Homer and the gang?   My memory is terrible...

Hey there  Fencer, ROC, and Hajo

Yes he was also Turbo. I have been trying to get set up here and hopefully be able to get flying soon. With his passing things have been a mess and I have to move back to NC soon so will be after that

Before Hitech turns off the light (heaven forbid) perhaps he'll grant a month's stay of execution to any old timer who wanted back in. The final week (or perhaps 2 WEEKS!!) would be a MOAScenerios per Brooke's engineering. Next there needs to be Wheelchair Allies & Wheelchair Axis.    :aok :rofl :rock :banana: :airplane: :joystick: :old:

sorry to hear of Cuzco's passing ( wasn't he Turbo of the Damned, before he went to Cuxco? or was it tremor? My memory is fading )

Good to get your message, EM, and give AH a try..... especially MNM in the Events from like 7:30pm est up to about 10pm ( That is Monday Night Madness, like meaning, tonight! heh)....also FSO's, scenarios and KOTH

Cheers,

TC

Yep he was also Turbo. I will be giving it a try once I get moved back to NC and get everything up and going.

Well, Well, Well. Let's see. I was here in AW on dialup 93 or 94 using a mouse and KB on AOL on a company laptop as Worid. Lost that id somehow and Worid1 was born thru to the late 2000s due to being assigned to a Military base that shall not be mentioned.And the fact that some little rat b####! snafu'ed my Alien. And I mean a baby mouse literally got into the system and ate the wires while I was AFB.

Been preoccupied until recently and trying to corner my old CO from the Birds to reinstate me.
SO TO ALL - Salute YOU OLD Salts.
