	GameID:  VonMessa (das Schmutziger Hund) Real Name: Daniel A. Messa BBS ID:  VonMessa    Birthday:  June 19, 1974 Location:  Lansdale, Pennsylvania A short in-game history:  Red Baron, Snoopy and the Red Baron (I have kids) MS Combat Flight Simulator. AH2 was my first online flight sim. I started in Dec. ‘06’  and was with the Swampdragons for about 6 months. I then did a two-week stint with the Pigs on the Wing.  I was looking for a FSO squad and I stumbled upon Stampf’s recruitment thread. With my German background, it felt like a good fit and the rest is history. Only the proud, only the strong! A short real-life history:  Born and raised in PA. Growing up, I spent most of the summers of my youth in Kensington and South Philly with my family members that are from there.  That is where I honed my sterling disposition. My parents forced me to go to school in the ‘burbs’ to get a better education. H.S. diploma, no college.  Veteran of the U.S. Army. Served an apprenticeship as a Tool & Die Maker and worked at the trade for a few years. Currently work as the network admin/installations manager at a local window & door company. Been married twice, 2nd time seems to be working better. 2 children from 1st marriage;  Rhiannon (10) and Giovanni.  Hobbies other than AH2 are; playing the drums (or any instrument I can get my paws on), making my own beer, and giving Stampf gray hairs.
	GameID: Boingg Real Name: Gino Furlano BBS ID: Boingg Birthday: November 18, 1964 Location: Eastham Mass. A short in-game history: Tried all they typical box sims (Jane's, Falcon etc. All were lacking the lunacy you find when your adversary is a real person ) Stumbled onto Warbirds in 99 flew for a little over a year off and on at the time it was too expensive. So I stepped away from flight sims and played  FPS types for a while , then saw an add for Aces High. Downloaded it and that led me in a roundabout way to JG11 and here I will stay. A short real-life history:  Married ,1 daughter who kind of shares the love of all things flying I have. Spent 4 years doing various things as well as the M-60A-1...A-3 series tanks that I shouldn't have. Currently employed as a Carpenter .
	GameID: boomerlu Name: BBS ID: boomerlu Birthday: 12/1986 Location: Currently Dallas, TX. No idea where I will end up settling down. I've lived in Los Angeles, London, and China. In-game Bio: Played sims as a 6 year old. Aces of the Pacific, X-wing, Aces of the Deep, TIE Fighter, Jane's ATF, Red Baron, Descent. After that, I went on hiatus from sims and delved into RTS like C&C, Total Annihilation, then a 2 year spurt of Counter-strike. Re-simmed briefly for 2 weeks in 2006. Been flying regularly since August 2009. I do my homework on the game and think critically about everything, which is how I got to where I am now. RL Bio: Chinese immigrant now citizen, been in the States since age four. Childhood nerd boy with military history leanings. Most recently dated a German girl who's in Munich and who I miss dearly. Went to a Math/Sci high school (TAMS if anybody here has heard of it), then to a Math/Sci university (Caltech). Just finished my B.S. in Physics and I'm now looking for a job. Hobbies: Socializing, Aces High, DoTA, Guitar (shred baby ), weightlifting, football (American, naturally), Star Trek occasionally. Played a bit of football in middle school and early high school - did pretty well for a 5'6'' kid.
