I've been flying AW and AH since 2/96 on a regular basis and it's all about the guys in the squads that I have flown with. I'm not good at anything in the game but just enjoy the company of folks that I've known for 10-12 years. It's a great stress relief as I work 12-18 hour shifts and rarely have days off consecutively and my wifey is a wonderful woman who understands my need for this therapy and doesn't jump into that dreaded "Wifey manned AcK". I've only met a few of my online friends in person but I'm closer to some of my squaddies than I am my own real life half-brothers and sisters. To me, It's more about the the pleasure of flying with a bunch of friends than killing others or porking stuff. In early 1999 or so, I suffered a major skull fracture and had to learn to walk again and my squaddies helped me get flying again, I still don't have the coordination or reflexes to fly like I did then but they kept me going and trying and working. I can fly (not worth squat) but I can fly and enjoy the game and I owe it mostly to my fellow squaddies and online friends in AirWarrior and Aces High. I just feel fortunate to be able to be here with you all and enjoy it!
All the Best...
