It’s been 10 years, maybe more since we’ve spoken or I’ve seen him online. Back around 2005 +\- he was CO of The Damned after Egger left (for whatever reason I can’t recall) There was a huge political fuss on the squad email server (Lew was VERY liberal in his thinking) that caused him to resign his commission as CO. Shortly after he pretty much disappeared from the game and he stopped calling. Too bad, he was a VERY funny, and pretty smart guy, Good stick, too.

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.

Thanks,  Good to hear that.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Ten years (can it be?)? I liked Silat. Never knew the details about him that you shared. I hope he's ok.

He was in the 80th for a very long time. Yes extreme liberal but if you just played AH.... he was a great person and we had lots of fun flying in the squad. He recently was lined up to fly in a Scenario but didn't make it.
