It's Speichts.com , wasn't Speicher a downed F15 pilot in Gulf War I?

Oops. I'll edit those posts tomorrow.

And, technically, it was an F-18. What REALLY sucked about it was you had this big gaggle of A-6s, F-18s and so forths all lining up on a target, first night of ODS, and all of a sudden AWACS calls a Foxbat in their britches, one F-18 (no ID on which pilot) actually locks him up, but the AWACS crew can't declare him hostile, and order the F-18 to disengage. Obediently (and probably against his better judgment), he does that. Then the Foxbat turns around, locks up Speicher and shoots him down. So, anyone who wants to use this incident to dis on Speicher is stupid. It was the AWACS that got him shot down. Any amount of study of modern A-A war will show the AWACS, an airborne intelligence platform, is often the weak link in the kill chain.

Oops, wrong forum. Sorry.

Well, I wasn't much a visitor back then, but then, found your site rather unavoidable :),
if must go, then please consider transferring knowledge to wiki or alike, not just links, the whole thing.

Wow! Thanks for all your kind words. It's what makes it all worthwhile when I see comments like this. My site will NEVER go away, even if I ever (for whatever reason) had to stop using Helosim as a host, I would setup my very own domain and host it there. I've worked too many hours on it to just let it slip away.

It's funny when I think it just started out as a single webpage, to host my missions and stuff. I could see from when I joined here that there was a 'gap in the market' and that needed to be filled. It's a pleasure to be able to cater for the many LB2 fans that still exist.

I've tried to advertise my site where ever possible, and looking at my site statistics I think it's worked. Most people who haven't already found my site, find it by searching through Google and Wikipedia. I'm getting steady numbers of monthly visitors.

None of this would have been possible without you people. So THANKYOU!

Emmm.... There is absolutely no way in hell I would be enjoying this game tonight if it wasn't for your site.

I've just been digging through old forum threads to try to dig up some info, a lot of these old threads are quite interesting.

I don't go everyday...but I go from time to time. If it wasn't for your insight I wouldn't had it running (and would have quit some time ago)....

Yeah, Flyboy- keep that site up. I don't know what you'll do when LCH comes out (maybe keep it up for those (of us) whose systems won't run it yet) but for now it's a keystone to the LB2 Community.

BTW- I visited your Youtube channel yesterday. You're building up quite the Museum of flight sims and stuff, eh?
