Guilty as charged. I haven't played AH for months, can't login to scenarios page.

Just create an account on ahevents.org -- that will let you get to registration.  You definitely need to come back for this one!  :aok

I once met James "Lou" Luma at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.  He was an American who joined the RCAF (as he was too young to join the USAAF, and it was before the US entered the war).  He got 5 aerial victories in the Mosquito, also did intruder missions into enemy-occupied France (going after enemy aircraft in the air and targets on the ground), and did low-level missions at night going after trains.  He loved the Mosquito.
