When did AW die? Not sure which tour but was here before AW went down for a trial and came back full time after it died.

Well I did, no idea if I still have it.  Changed computers several times since then.  I'll have to check.

I may have to fly under some alias like "gunman26" (remember him?) lol or something.
Oh yes, I remember him!   :noid

I have been here since spring of 2001 first flew with nighthawks.  I didn't even know they had a website or bbs when I first started I kept floundering around and finally rattler told me to come to the bbs I could learn a lot from it..started on the board in aug 2001 as aac, long time ago it seems now

I am! Flew on the first day of the open beta, early September 1999, and never flew EAW, FA, FD or Warbirds again!

I'll sneak in and raise my hand.  I haven't flown, let alone upgraded my PC to handle anything beyond 2007. I miss gaming in general. Maybe I'll build something in the next few months and give this a shot again. I seriously cannot believe it's been, what, 16 or 17 years since first downloading Aces High. Jebus! I joined a few months after the original Beta... Jan/Feb 2000 ish? Flew Air Warrior a few years prior to AH... on the C team, of course.

Nice to see some familiar names though!
