Without il2, it is very unlikely that we would ever know each other and be friends, and all the other friends i have made though flying il2.
For that alone, you have my thanks, the hours and hours spent flying il2 is a a massive bonus.
cheers fruitbat.
This to me is one of the longest and least mentioned aspects of the whole IL2 venture. I learned to build PCs, use Photoshop, made friends from all over the world, some that I have known for over a decade and much much more as a direct result of IL2. Thank you Ilya .. not only for the efforts you put into CoD but also and moreso for me anyway.. PF.. As quiet as it is kept PF helped to save this sim and it would not be what it is today without PF and all that it brought afterwards.

Think about it..

So thanks.. and all the best. I do not know what will become of these boards in 18 months.. or what your plans are for the future but if you can find it in you, your presence and Oleg's for that matter would be a very welcome sight in any sim, on any forum, and any place in Cyberspace where IL2 is still celebrated.
