Hey Ammo.  I was -augr- in WB and flew with the Royal Knights for Purplandia.  None of them are around any more, but I managed to find another group of knights.  Good to see you back.

I've only been here since '01.

I followed Joe and the rest of the Mafia over after AW was killed.

After Airwarrior died where I was /IT\ I had to take a beak due to lack of able machine. I've been here since 02. That was 10 years ago. Define "that long ago."

Hiya Dred.  Someone stated AW had died in the 90s.   I didn't think that could be right (unless it died, was resurrected, and died again?) because I was in AH when AW's arenas were shut down, and I remember some mass squad migrations over here.   I started WB in '98 and came here in 2000 or so.

IIRC there was a squad called "The Damned" which had to be broken into 3 wings because it was so large.   Were they from AW?

Well there is a name I remember from way back. I started flying in the beta for AH back in 2000 and then finally made the move full time in early 2001 when the rest of my old squadron LJK moved into AH from Fighter Ace back then.

Yeah the Damned were pretty huge in AW. Like the borg back in the day defending C land when I started with them in the mid 90s. They reformed back into a single group not long before AW died in Dec of '01. Most were already here by March of that year. They slowly fizzled out insofar as actually flying here over the years. A few still remain here.

I'm still around Ammo.  But I'm slowly finding the number of veteran players have been diminishing greatly.

According to my forum birth date I must have been around back then, too. Welcome back  :salute

Howdy Ammo, come back and play, I remember you.  I was around from AW pay per hour days and never stopped.  Went from AW to WB and then figured out AK was the place to be.

And I've always been Zoney <S>.  You remember me perchance?

<S>

Yes, the Damned originated back in AW in the early 90's I think. I'm quite certain they were in existance in 91-92 when I started flying with the Muskies. Trying to remember some of those venerable old fliers...NoBaddy, Grey Eagle, Mullah, Twist (I think he was Damned), and a lot more worthy of mention to whom, alas, my failing memory does an injustice.
