OK…who's left here that played the Beta?

[Sabre]

Just curious; I'm back after a long time away. Was just wondering who is left here that was in the AH Beta or first couple of Tours?

I was in Beta. I set up what may be the first special event, a Battle of Britain fight, using 109s vs. Spits (not historically accurate, of course, since we only had one, mid-war variant of each). It was in the MA (which is to say, the only) arena. Don't remember who won. Our Warbirds squadron, the Buccaneers, moved en masse to the AH beta.

Toad...of Warbirds Toad? Like WAY WAY back when?

[Toad]

Yeah, even way backer than that...AW ToadPS...WB Toad...AH Toad.

How you doing Dobs?

Funny how this genre has stuck with us old timers.

[Dobs]

Doing well my friend...made the jump a few months ago and I'm kicking myself for waiting:)

Hope to catch ya in the air!

<S>!

Dobs, Dawger and the bunch have fit in well here.

I was -vlcn- in the CK beta, and -vlkn- in Warbirds. I thought you'd been here longer dobs?

Good to see you posting here. Hope life has been kind to you and your family. Been quite some time since we crossed paths.

Anyone here who played RB on TSN? Not trying to hijack this, just curious. How about, simguild's Flying Circus?

[Ouch]

Ye gods.  Lets see.

I started in AW.  Then moved to Confirmed Kill (the original beta), then to Warbirds, then to Aces High, AH II.

Been inactive now for as long as most of the people playing have been here.  :-(

Had to quit flying  when my (very young) daughter said something about me playing "that damn game".  Realized I needed to take a break.

Now they are in college and eventually, I'll be back.

I believe I started flying beta in the summer of 99 , I remember when HT finally put guns in the B17 loads of fun.

Flew in AW from 1995.  Went to wwiionline when they killed off AW then went to Fighter Ace before coming here.

I played a little WW2OL while still here, with 3rd Panzer/dinkers group.

I was there.  Good to see ya Toad - hope your health is holding up!  Last time we talked you were looking to get a piece of artwork done for your Dad.  How's he doing?

[Toad]

Hey RedDg, long time.

My health is really pretty good. I can still follow a Labrador through the pheasant fields all day long with no problem. As long as I can do that, I figure my health is just fine.

My Dad, who briefly posted here as Panther, died 19 months ago. He only made it about three weeks after my Mom died. They are both together in Arlington now. They both did pretty well right up to the end though. We should all be so lucky.
