Yea, meeting people from all over the world is a great part of flying IL2. I flew around a bit with "SteelAndre" for a while who was from Holland. He had a really old shitty computer, so I mailed him a motherboard, cpu, some ram and other parts so he could fly online with decent fps. When IL246 came out, he bought me a copy of it and mailed it to me before I could get it in the stores in the USA, sweet!
Living in a smaller town myself, I have never run into anyone else in person who flew the sim, but flying online makes the world a small place.
About the only flying I do these days is with a friendly bunch of older guys, we are all between 50-70 and we mostly just have fun and bullshit on TeamSpeak while we fly around and shoot each other. If it was not for that I might not fly hardly ever.
I think I remember that at one point Redwulf squadron flew around in FW190s and kicked the shit out of everyone. If you were chasing them they would pull back on the stick and stall their aircraft so it fell straight backwards pointing the four 20mm cannons right at you.
