Greetings Falconians! I want to thank STORMBRINGER, Mas, Starow and MissHell for a great couple of hours of flying last night. It's always a pleasure to find a 111th friend in-game. Mad, Swop, Singh, Shiloh, Storm, Mas, Starow, MissHell (do you guys have anyone I play with whose name doesn't begin with M or S? Oh..wait...BigBoss, Jeramy, Kevy) and other Falcons too numerous to mention are among my favorite people in Dogfight. I don't like intruding on other Squadrons' threads but I thought you might not mind. Thanks for the great games, all!
I'm also woefully late in addressing a couple other Falcon/M.O.M related matters: One, the exemplary way in which you all conducted yourselves and your unwavering support during our time of mourning the loss of M.O.M's Jonathan Hunt, known here as Duckwing1. It was a blow to all of us in M.O.M but your strength of character and compassion went a long way toward helping us through it. For your participation in the memorial flights for Jon, as well as for Kevin aka Legendofkane, you have my gratitude. The other issue is something about which I was unaware, being out of town and out of touch with the forum at the time: some sort of misunderstanding regarding something posted on the M.O.M thread. I still don't know what the content of the offending post(s) might have been but I hope you all know that M.O.M, as a Dogfight squadron and as real people behind the game names, has nothing but the highest regard for the 111th Falcon Squad. What was posted, whether misguided, misinterpreted or misunderstood, was, I'm sure, posted with no intention of giving offense. This is all water over the dam, I know, but as co-creator of M.O.M it's my responsibility to remain on top of situations and to smooth any feathers that might be ruffled (no Falcon pun intended) should this sort of thing occur. You have my belated, heartfelt apologies for not having been here to mitigate any ill will at the time. Old news, I know, and all the parties involved have made up and moved on, but I felt the need to offer my personal assurance that no Falcon will ever be intentionally disrespected by any M.O.M. We're a much more chaotic, anarchic, humor-driven squadron but one thing we share with the 111th is a tremendous amount of heart. Many of the most genuine, decent, caring players in this game fly under the 111th and M.O.M tags.
Mr. Von Pay, from one Dogfight "den mother" to another, you have a stellar group of people here. SheiBe Kopf, I and everyone in M.O.M feel the same.
