Today 18 years ago...

…I flew EAW online for perhaps my third time or so and met another swedish fellow, Paddy, that I started talking to. At the end of the night he had recruited me to EAF. At the time EAF was exactly 10 months old, with EAW standards at the time, one of the older more established groups. Apart from EAW (European Air War) we also had pilots flying SDOE (Screaming Deamons Over Europe). When I joined we had pilots from the Netherlands, France (mainly flying SDOE), a few from UK, Sweden, one from Norway, Belgium (I think) and maybe one or two I might have forgotten. Our first Italian joined less then 6 months after me, and I can’t list all the other different nationalities we have or have had, probably easier to list the countries we have not had members from.

Oh, and happy birthday Paddy! :holiday:

Thanks for founding EAF, and thanks to you Mikke to stick to it.

May EAF lives for many years more!

I think there is only one current member who was a member of EAF when I joined, and that is Puffman!

Ah the good old days…lol. I’ll tell you the real reason why I left and came back again at sometime Mikke :wink:

:cool:

Real life still keeps me away, but my hearth is always hereon the runaway, watching you flying :slight_smile:
As retirement (from my job) is not very far maybe I will be back in a couple of monts…
