Technically you are a veteran after your rookie year. 

Or years.  :P

I remember asking "Who the hell is 999000 and why did a zipcode just rip me plane apart?" thus began the legend "Are they B17s? under 10k? check to see if 999 was online, yeah? just ignore them..... 20 seconds later two fighters lose their wings..... its funnier when they ask on comms about "B17s under 10k"...

Veterans know to look up that player list, other ones just attack and find out what a real floating death star is..

the funniest thing happened at that airshow.  I met gwurtzel first and was sitting with him when I go the message from zach that he was at the airshow so, i went looking for him.  after saying hi and while he was getting settled down, I went back to look for gwurtzel and together we came back to see zach.

gwurtzel walks up to him and in a friendly gentile manner slaps him on the side of the head and says "that's for shooting me down in your 190 last week".  I literally dropped on the floor laughing my butttt off.  not even the airplanes flying around could top that.

Evil con, now those need to make an appearance again.

You might be a veteran of Aces high if you remember VansCrew shooting down Santa and getting booted off the game. Funniest moment ever.

When did ah 2 come out?

You are so no vet  :rofl

Seriously... I would use several criteria:

If you one of:

- You played AH1... and probably miss good old CT that AH2 had killed
- If you payed HTC more than $1,000  (or...)
- You served in military

you are probably vet.

On the other hand, the worth of $15 it depends on your salary. If you have $5,000 monthly income $15 is very little, on the other hand, if you have monthly salary of $100, like me during 3 years of the regular service (or active duty/active service) in IDF/IAF, than $15 are much more than just few bucks so it probably should be - you payed a monthly salary rather than payed $1,000, than you are vet.

So if we take the salary factor than I'm... a Triple vet  :cheers:

You aren't a vet unless you had to hide a $300.00 phone bill from your wife during the early days of AirWarrior and now your are still playing here.
