The good old days...
 

This thread serves as a little 'tribute' to the days when all we (J8A Heroes/SubSim Aviators) were still practising and werent that good flyers.

Firstly, my history of online flying prior to IL2 with Hunter & Danlisa. (Other's pleeease tell your flightsim online history too! I'd really like to know)

For me, I started my online flying as an Battlefield 2 fighter pilot:
(Also, my first stunt video!!)

And lastly my first 1-on-1, me in a F35B against the superior Chinese J10.

And then, it was time to hit the online skies with IL2. I've owned the game since it the very first 'IL2 Sturmovik', but never tried it online, until I met Hunter & Danlisa. Here's some old vids from our dogfights.

Let's start with a spoof vid I made of Hunter's landings back then, January 2007

Next vid on the timeline is a blooper reel dating back to February 2007:

Day after that, there was my first IL2 dogfight vid, Unnamed Vol.1:

Few weeks later followed our little safety vid, 'Dont drink & fly' (The best time I've had in ANY online game!!!!):

And then, back to regular dogfighting:

Then there was my odd attempt to mix a music video and our dogfights:

Enjoy!

It must be friday..Dowly's drunk and feeling nostalgic :up:

Lol, I must blame Hunter for showing me some of the old vids. :D

Ahh, mammaries.:lol:

You got that right.

Let me get Paige out of the first and we'll do it again.:up:

ROFL, looking forward to it! :rotfl:

Funny how the vid of me decimated everyone in my spit is missing from that lineup:p. I LOL'd so bad at the P-38 when you ripped your engines off on the floor :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Of course it is, so is tons of other vids. I only gathered the oldest vids, when our dogfights were won by the amount of booze & some luck.

:lol: Somewhere around here is a video dedicated to my attempts to take off that Kratos made:

Here it is:

I did go up on the 109s vs Spits server the other day...and once again lasted about five minutes in the air before someone got on my tail and blasted me to bits :lol:
Some things never change!

Only crashed once on take-off though!! :rock:

Been there done that. :rotfl:
