Happy Birthday


I started in AOL AW, Trying to remember the year - 1990 maybe? NoBaddy (NB) and Coach helped me a lot - good guys, think about them often, I kept getting yelled at - Hey Newbie, read the instructions, because I kept pulling the trigger on the runway as planes spawned in front of me, AW was fun and when it died came here...

Kept the name and only once in awhile I shoot at my own side :)

Catching up on this thread made me wonder what happened to Vilkas.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Vilkas gave it up a couple years ago. We lost a lot when he left. He is doing well and pops into our squad bbs once in a while. Canukk said he talks to him on facebook on occasion.


63 and started Warbirds in 1995. Came to A/H when it went live and been here ever since. HT has provided many hours of fun to this WWII aviation nut.   :cheers:

I remember when he retired from AH. Glad to hear he is doing well. We did indeed lose a lot when he left.
