I'm old and I went to school.  At the time it was a new school but I guess it's an old school now.

Dieing in flight sims since 1996 without a break.  I forgot to take the how to fly and live class.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

-esme- from Kampgeschwader 2 "Holzhammer" and II/JG2 in WarBirds 2.77 here. I left WB due to unhappiness with WBIII and tried AH for a few months, before giving up on MMOL WW2 combat flight sims for several years. Restarted in AH early 2013. 

Can'ty say as i remember -ammo-, but I vaguely recollect Lizking.  I don't suppose  Epower, Ghost, Hamfst, Target, Learje, Raphael (from WB) or Douwe (from my first spell in AH) are still around?  What about Vadr and Daddy from WB2?

I played w/vadr, lizking, and ghosth (not to be confused with ghost).  I also flew with daddy.  I don't remember your game ID either.

A LOT of folks confuse me with -ammo- from WBII.  I flew WB as "ammomn" before transitioning to AH1, where I established the game ID "ammo".  I wish I had a nickle for every person that asked me if I was "-ammo-" from WBs.  Great guy - he was a gunner on AC-130 gunships in real file.  I was an ammo troop in the USAF when I started playing online flight sims, hence the game ID.

I've been around since 2001 ammo. Anyone remember "Peacepipe"? He was a real Native American that flew circa 2002. I heard he passed away a few years ago. Hope it isn't true.

I've been around long enough to remember separated strats, "Check the Churches!", large forests, and radar that only went to 200ft.

Is that considered old school? Or is it only old school if you remember the giant squid and pizza mountain?  :D

Don't remember Peacepipe.  What was your game ID in 2001?

When I made this post last year, I was missing AH and the folks I flew with and against.  So it wasn't meant to be a "measuring stick" or the like - simply wanted to see if any of my old friends or foes were still subscribers.  I remember the Pizza map.  I think that was one of the first mega maps.  I miss Mindanao actually:)

But don't worry Latrobe - old, new, or somewhere in between - you are a killer today:)

Can't find any name resembling to "peacepipe" (in this form an invalid AH name anyway) in the lists from 2001 on.

Almost got a divorce over that! And she would have been justified.  I was an E4 with three babies and had NO business paying that for WB's:)
