Yes. What SheiBe said.

Will try for the 9:00 p.m. sharp.

Paul all the best on the operation.

Killerbadger: impeccable timing, son! Outstanding!

Good ideas, SheiBe and Big Tex.

Killer, for the next week or so try to play a lot. Show us what you got. MOMs will keep an eye out for you and if you see them in game make sure they know you're there and why.

Meanwhile Sputnik do a complete workup(credit history, criminal record, etc. --Joke!) and report back with a recommended course of action: in or out.

Oh and we'll need a urine sample (Joke!).

Then we'll take all that under consideration and arrive at a consensus. Fair enough?

Work up on killer?
If so I'm on it
If not explain.

Oh man, not sure what was funnier. Bopes' original posting or Sput's response! Ah to be that young again, BUT with my current experiances and salary intact...

The scary thing is, as bright as Sput is, it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to get a thorough dossier on killer, a la Lisbeth Salander, with complete details, DNA sample, etc.!

I'll keep you're cake warm.
Sheibe I Pmed you.

Same from me, Paul. We are all pulling for you!

Oh and Sput, be sure to let the cake cool just a bit before you try to ice it.

Got in two memorial flights durin the 4pm witching hour...was pleased to see 111Allan in both, Kevy, Paul, and some other enigma fliers...lost sput early in my first flight. In all it was a great moment of reflection, and with the exception of some trigger happy folks (Abu Abed, some nameless and aimless noobs) a peaceful event that hopefully honors one of our own...I am sure Legend of kane still laughs at us from the clouds...

After some frustrating failures to muster respectful cooperation while flying with Mav, Allan and Kopf I did get a mission with Shatner, Hat, Quiet and 111th Capt. Ryan (exceptional guy) ... and a non-squad player, Balls of Fire. We flew to 3k, covered the map a few times, screen shots were captured...we bombed in unison then most exited. Capt. Ryan and I hit 4k, cut the throttle and returned to "earth" literally wing to wing. We crashed not two feet apart. In the Captain's words as we fell..."beautiful..."

See you all at 9pm...

Hi guys.

I just wanted to say thank you to Mav, Hat, and Wig and all the guys from MOM with whom I had the honor of flying this evening in Kevin's honor.

The flight was exactly what I'd hoped it would be.

In his letter Kevin talked about the clouds and how he wanted to stay awhile.

Roger that.

Roger that.

Oh...Tex, no real need for my vote by now but Ender, yes, in of course.

The laopdk (or whatever) is no one I know. Interloper, says I. Shoot on sight.

Dawson, you remain among my favorite people in the game. A M.O.M in spirit if not in tag.

Welcome Keithg83, Ender, Flying Muck, Estuardo/Stuart aka *D_N*...you're all invaluable additions to the group.

What's weird though is the only flight I could get to was one filled with high ranks and new players
But what's even weirder is that they ALL understood
We all climbed to 2500k drop bombs said some last minute words and no one fired a single shot.
Eventually we all left the game.
Not a single player was brought down.

That must have truely been quite an experience and a sight to behold, Sput. I will try for one or both of the later flights.

I will try for the 9 o,clock flight if i can......

It was
I actually literally cried.

Age is £sd velocity of a sparrow in flight is faster at the front than the back, hence the back is always behind the front.

Just received via direct email:

Dear Rick, please express to all involved in my brothers' farewell send off, my unending joy and undying gratitude, though i cannot say goodbye again without painful tears.He talked of all of you..he printed out the entire roster and framed it!. He thought of you all so much that his personal wish to me was that it was creamated with him..and i did so without hesitation.Never have I seen an impact as MoM and his "frenemies" had on him but especially MoM. Thank You all. sincerely Michael

Ok whats up whos heading in

Well done MOM.

Thank you to Dogss , Dawson .....RIP Kevin. Gone but not forgoten..in our harts and in the clouds see ya in the skys my friend and fallen comrade...Mean ole Devil ......out.

After quite a few attempts...I had Biggs, Felabad and Kopf with me. Climbed high and Felabad counted us down. Dropped bombs, cut power and we crashed on the bridge.

I will confess that I had to unload a bit on this Christian### pilot as he wasn't leaving us alone. One wing shot was enough for him to back off.

Thanks guys.

Kevy from 111th got a great screen shot of B,Cloud anf myself...THANKS KEV PERFECT SHOT.

WELL DONE MY FRIEND
COOP

SEE YA ALL AT THE LAST FLIGHT MADE THE FIRST TWO CANT MISS THE LAST ONE...0100 SEE YA THERE.

COOP

Hey guys I'm gonna try to meet up with y'all in the last flight too. If ya want, I would like to get a photo of as many M.O.M.s in formation as possible.

Your a good man Jacob......mod.

i just wanna thank ya'll for letting me join on the memorial flight for kevin earlier. sorry i was kinda late but it was all good. i came from a different game with dowsson another enigma and panzer but we kept getting shot at. ill try to join ya'll again on the last flight.

Was with Wig and Downey.. Over bridge at 3000. Cut power and dove into the bridge. I was only shot down 3 times.. Someone needed the points..

I am now looking for Dallas and Hero... They will never be a MOM..

Yes thanks jacob for being in the one I was in. Lots of people dropped into and out of that one: hat, wig, sheiBe, eddie rickenbacker, capt. Montebon, Alec 6416, vortex, kennycool, Dallas, hero79008, ICAC and probably a few others. It started with me trying to organize a synchronized bomb drop high over the bridge. Jacob was right there from the start pitching in. After some confusion and jostling this effort (as might be expected with me as master of ceremonies) devolved into a disorganized mess! Fun though. There was some shooting going on here and there as people caught on (or not) at varying rates. Hero even got himself leveled up! But for the most part people were respectful and seemed interested in participating.

Then hat showed up and we tried a little formation flying, then kopf and wig showed up and we tried to go high for the tribute dive, but I lost connection while trying to snap a pic.

Anyway I snapped a few and will post them soon.

Thanks all for being there!

Bopes and everyone, do you think you will make the next (late) flight? I am thinking about doing it even though it is way later than I usually am up.

Well done mom you all deserve a big big thank you
It all went to plan the bombs and the CAKE

Now just one word i want to say before I go play

Kevin, the flights, the effort, the planning, and everything done for the memorial was all dedicated for you, may you rest in peace buddy.

Kapt. Singh was in a few abortive attempts with me, my gratitude to him for the effort, you're a good man, Kap. In fact he signed in just as SheiBe, Downey and I were plunging bridgeward so he almost missed the final crash but, I believe, slipped in at the end. SheiBe and I must've hit the bridge within a few feet of each other. I stayed there, contemplating it all...until the bridge collapsed under my smoldering wreckage. That was unexpected and felt somehow right.

SheiBe, I had the impression that, though it took for frickin' ever to get him to understand, Hero did finally get into the proper spirit of the thing. For what it's worth. Camel Driver was also there and fell straight into line with us. Many thanks, CD, as well as to anyone I may have neglected to mention.

See you all at 1am...

I'm gonna play that by ear. It's way past my bedtime too! If I do make it I hope to see you.

One thing I learned: actual formation flying is frickin' hard! As is trying to stay over one spot at 3000 feet.

I want to say THANK YOU to some Falcons. Allan, Red and some others that wanted to pay tribute to Kevin, with tanks. I coul not get a tank and in walking mode I delayed the tribute. I apologize for that. And because a call from outside my room I had to leave to those fellas alone, when I was the only M.O.M present. I am sorry for that. But very gratefull for what they were traying to do. Thank you ....
