Think it was Mage who got a call late one night...
Myself and three other Bz's took the arena over, Owned Az land and was vulching the guys as they tried to up at their last base.
Someone who was Az called and complained, and Mage was not a happy camper and booted all of us. Or was it Moggy? Don't recall all the details, but we all four heard about it.
Good times at the Spit Factory, and those Death Star rides were always fun, except the night I was riding with someone who had put unlimited JATO on his bomber and seemed to have an unlimited bomb supply. As I recalled, I bailed once I realized what was going on. Stayed in hiding under my bed for three weeks expecting someone to knock on my door.  :rofl

 Heh my first taste of WW2 aerial combat. Have the V 1.5 disk and case here on my desk lol.  Never played online but remember it asking me to log onto GEnie.  First player to player combat was me vs Thndregg on a null modem connection with my IMB PS-1 SX 50 Mgz  when I was 18 lol :)

1996-97 aol had a 4 sided map...green, red, gold, purple....4 bases per team....reset the map and you got back the same map...that is one of the reasons I never ever complain about any of our maps today.  Also, they charged $1.99 hr which usually = to a minimum of $300 a month.  Tiggerr, Ebola, Dkfi, Pacerr, Hammer were the main sticks back in the day...ended up joining 367th(pacerrs squad) been there ever since. :rock

Hay, Falconwing  is that you FALCON23?  Alchemist right?

NEGATORY!  Falc was the longest Commanding Officer of the "Birds of Prey", otherwise known as "BOPS".  In AirWarrior I once was a BOP in RRETO4 but I also played in RRETO2 as an "INTRUDER", "Confederate Knight", and ended as a "Flying Skillet".  After AirWarrior was killed off by ElectronicFarts, I came here as a member of "Manx" 4-wing and then went to the Hornets (Busher's squad), after Manx left or a different game and then Busher took a vacation from AH and we merged with the BOPS and I stayed there for years and finally went to the "Flying Circus", which is a bunch of us old farts from AW that knew and flew with each other back then.  Falconwing was a great tactition and has a great strategic mind and was a GREAT Commanding Officer and a good friend.  Falc created the Birds of Prey here in AcesHigh after the demise of AirWarrior, at the hands of Electronic Arts aka... Electronic Farts.  AW was great and thrived when it was owned by old Ruppert Murdock.

All the Best...

Hmmm... I was on AOHell from back in 95 and we did have a 4-sided map but it was A,B,C, and D (which was a neutral country and could be captured but not populated on it's own...you couldn't join D country).  There were a whole slew more than 4 bases per country and was no hourly charge back then.  I know I'm old and my memory is failing but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. hehehhe  What you are describing is pre 1995 and most likely pre airwarrior 4 winblows debut on aoHell.

All the Best...

I remember back in the mid 90's when some piles mentioned that he was gonna get a thing called dsl.  we all asked him what it was, he said it was to connect to the internet at a much faster rate that aol.  we all laughed at him told him he was crazy.  there was nothing faster or better than aol.

Doc/Jay,

yes sir,
there was an hourly charge starting out, then it went FREE for AOL subscribers for a little while, then it came back again with a fee to play AW ..... I believe the 2nd time around it may have went to a monthly fee perhaps ( ya know, we all forget crap as we get older, ROFL)......... but that was when I was in the middle of still having AOL but also was playing more over on BigWeek  as Gamestorm was starting up / ramping up


cheers

LOL TC, I still can't remember paying while on aoHELL.  I do seem to remember that when Gamestorm opened it's doors and the majority of us migrated there that those left on aohell did have to pay like 1.99 per hour of so.  My memory at the end is fragmented due to a massive skull fracture that I suffered on 2/22/99 or somewhere around there.  Perhaps I'm just not remembering that I had to pay and I'm not saying that you are wrong on your recollection of events back then.    I hope you are still keeping up your upgrading less fortunate folks equipment here and you have always done a bang up job in that respect! <S>

All the Best...

heya Jay,

sorry to hear of your head injury, bummer.......

Yes Sir, I am still helping other AH Players as much as I can...... I am in the process of putting another PC together at this current time actually......

I got everything I need except a case,  am looking for a decent case nothing fancy and nothing cheap with no air flow what so ever

I got everything else........  this next fellow AH Player is still using an athlonXP 2600+ cpu & AGP VC.........  am hoping to get him up to dual core and PCIe  VC status

the march goes on,  and thanks for the support, much appreciated

<S>

Hey Jay.  :)

Good to hear from ya.

I began flying again last night. Well ..sort of. I wallowed around and pretty much missed everything I managed to shoot at.  lol
 For a while I lived so far out in the stix that the only internet was cellular.... really.   Bought a house in Tomahawk and ordered the fastest cable they had(withdrawal related).
The kids are 5 years old... hard to believe.
