So Levi is ... Midway??

My mind has just been blown

Mickyd, you helped me in the TA some a few months ago. Do you recall my flying?  :uhoh :cry

Levi, if you do ever teach, I am very willing to learn more.  :)

Hopefully you'll come visit us occasionally. I'm on a lot and would very much enjoy some fights and suggestions from you.   :)

Some have told me he may have been the best Spitfire pilot.

Urban legend ... he sucked big time.

I was going to say... Hymee is no better than the average Joe, his only crutch is the gay16 his system defaults to (rumor has it his hanger has no other aircraft).

Some people really know a certain aircraft.  The best example is Greebo, I've found no one that can handle an particular aircraft as well as he can make that F6F dance.

Greebo is by far the best F6F pilot in the game now ... the best F6F pilot ever was Drex. Other notable F6F pilots were Wadke and Mathman.

If Leviathn is smart which I know he is, then he will never fly under that name again.  It is immortalized, and there is nothing he can ever do again to touch a flame to the reputation he has built since he quit.

I'm not sure what reputation I've built since I quit, but I felt I built a pretty decent one while I played.

If I were to fly again regularly, I'd use the Leviathn handle, but I'd probably avoid it initially while getting my game legs back under me.  As fun as flying shades can be at times (Leviathn was actually a shade of Calamari, which was a shade of DMF, my original handle), ultimately folks figure it out when you have a pretty obvious flying style.  I knew Nomak was Duckett after dueling him a couple of times way back in the day because he had pretty obvious dueling proclivities.  A rose by any other name should smell so sweet.

I agree that Greebo is very good now.  Dodger is also very good now and now is what matters...

Lev graduated to real life

You know, like wow and rift.  Last I asked he said that for some reason his mana was always low.

Hah.  When I was flying Air Warrior back when I first started, I'd fly until the sun started coming up.  Once that adrenaline starts flowing, it's hard to go to bed.  Games like WoW and Rift tend to do the exact opposite.  By midnight, I'm ready to fall asleep in my chair.  The latter seems to lend itself better to being a professional family man.

Do you have any motivation or plans to check out Diablo 3 when it comes out?  I used to be pretty involved in D1 & D2 so I might vanish from toon land when this one is released.

I loved the heck out of D2.  I'll probably check out D3 if my computer can handle it.  That's a big "if" though.

My thinking as well.  Todd was just a kid back in the Airwarrior days.  Now he's got em, which is tiring in itself :)
