15th winter flying IL2 Sturmovik.

[Jumoschwanz]

If it was not so damn cold where I live in the winter, I might not have ever flown this sim as much or as long. Last winter it was around zero degrees farenheight for two months dipping as low as 20-some below, ouch.

If I lived in the tropics I would be at the beach but here we are, and I have had a lot of fun sitting in the basement while it is snowing outside flying around with IL2 Sturmovik.

I always had a good memory and I can remember some of my first flights with this sim, and many of my early missions online. Also I remember many of the other individuals that used to fly IL2 ten to fifteen years ago, they are just about all gone now I believe.

Thank-you to Oleg Maddox and all those who have helped testing and making new patches over the years.

If somebody wants a taste of what flying IL2 was like in it's early days online simply try out the Vinni Puh server, which still runs some of the same maps it ran many years ago.

S!
