Ok, first a bit of explanation.. I started playing AH in December 2002, although I had tested it earlier (since my brother got an account). But the CT I have "really" played since quite a few setups ago. First I was too fascinated with the MA environment to start in the CT surroundings, but as I got more and more introduced to the SEA and CT (thanks to the Finnish AH community), I started venturing out a bit. So during the last tour I've been mostly playing the CT. (Although, big part of my online CT hours go to the Finnish Aviation Museum's Aviation Hobby Days (Ilmailuharrastepäivät). I was there representing the delights of Virtual Flying, so most of my deaths & sorties are from there this event
). But since the terrain was very useful (Kanttori's FinRus Autumn map, thanks to Jester), we actually convinced quite a few gentlemen to try the AH online. So beware, some new Finnish pilots are bound to join the AH community soon. At least I hope so...
Your Aces High call sign? It's significance? Panzzer, no especial significance.
Your Aces High squad? in the MA >Leijonat< squad,

Your name? Hmm, I guess this means Panzzer.
Or my real name, I couldn't guess who would be interested though, Riku Vaskuu.
Your age? 26
Your Email? You can use rvaskuu at hotmail.com
Where do you live? At the moment, Virrat, Finland.
Where else have you lived? Ok, Kihniö, Finland, then Vaskuu, Finland and then Joensuu, Finland.
And now in Virrat.
What do you do for a living? I'm a computer nerd.
Actually, I have a MSc degree in physics, but as there have been no suitable job openings, I'm working as a "system operator" or "whatever Linux dude" in my friend's company.
What is your marital/family status? At the moment I think I'm single.
(Wait and see what my girlfriend thinks of that when she comes back from her
half a year trip to England..)
What schools have you attended? Umm, too many to be counted here.
The latest was the University of Joensuu, here in Finland.
What degrees do you have? The MSc in physics (actually colour science, to be exact).
What are your hobbies? Apart from playing AH? Well, I like reading books and I enjoy watching
good movies. Apart from that, different sports, for example racketball (or whatever you dudes call it
). and lots of different sports. To be exact, mostly I read about the Finnish WW2 air units.
So, in short: WW2 history and playing AH.
What other flight sims have you been involved in? Your call sign and squad in that sim? Ah, the history. I started playing the computer flight simulators probably during 1985, or when was it when the Microprose's F15 came out for the C64... But online, I actually started the AH (as the first sim I've been active in) in January -03.
Do you have any other connection to aviation or WWII?As to aviation, no, not really.
WW2, hell yeah, my grandfather got shot through his lungs in 1943. In "the Continuation war", and ofcoz against the Russians.
Other interesting things about yourself. None whatsoever, or at least that you might find interesting.
