Yeah, and I still wear the tag, as do most of the Pigs, even though we don't fly much at all anymore.

We dabble with the new "Battle of" series a bit, and a couple of us still have '46 installed and will fly it once in a while.

It's a pity that the flight sim world, as far as WW2 goes, is such a bloody shambles. We lived through the golden age of the genre, when IL2 was a benchmark in the whole world of PC gaming.

I still have a few screens from the old days...


Me, dueling with an F4F...



BlitzPig_Raven (background) and myself heading home after a ground attack mission...




And, the BlitzPigs on the Kuban. And yeah that's really us.



I'm third from the left in the front row.
