Thanks to a few great fliers

[grislawskijg52]

Well with the advent of playstations current collapse I was able to complete the 'coveted" pursuit of the Platinum Trophy. I am sure the award check from playstation is in the mail as I type. I really would like to thank an "Award" some great fliers from the forum that made my "achievement" possible. Without thier help I am sure I would still be limited to beating around the arcade skies "although they were fine".

1)Saintmora--Thanks for always being available to fly in all modes. You were always up to a series of matches to help me unlock countless weapons. You always selflessly helped me win never once mentioning the detrimint to your rankings or standings. Thanks You are Awarded The Flying Officer D.M Crook AwardSpitfire pilot and Battle of Britain Ace with 5 Kills and 3 shared..you are an Ace
