    Default This was the Time! Origins' 2016 hot shots!

    The time for AARs and photos will come a little later. Now I just want to round up usual suspects who made me oversleep the visit to the Museum this morning.
    Cheers!

    I would be really dissapointed had not I visited it in 2013. What I lost is the new exhibition with some experimental kites.
    But nothing compares to beers shared with old friends till 3:00 am, singing songs out loud. We cherished every single moment of this wonder night!

    The Saturday Invitational Tournament was a usual - perfect blast and a highly emotional encounter. Herr Oberst was highly praised by some of the happy participants.

    According to popular view, Wings of Glory is a light airwargame using small scale planes' miniatures.
    Dan-Sam, the 2016 Lend Lease Participant is about to verify it.

    Andy! Really missed getting to sit at table with you to renew our sky fighting escapades but health concerns played a trump card. From the photo of your partners in crime I'm sure the songs and stories were highly entertaining. Best wishes until the next time.

    Hi Beth, nice to see Bob and yourself enjoying Origins again. May I ask has Andy been playing 'freckles'?

    Wishing you both all the best and happy memories of Origins 1915.

    Ah, Beth. So that's where you and Bob were until after 2AM (the last time I was up before dawn).
    Andrzej; it was great seeing and flying with you again.
    Great, also, to meet and fly with Daniel. It was a good Origins.

    Neil..
    First of all I didn't know Origins was so old....1915???? Honestly, after the invitational, in honor of YOU, I asked our new guest Dan-Sam if he wanted to play Freckle....he laughed when we explained it and that you guys actually PLAYED it... I keep the memory of your visit alive and miss not having you there. We will never forget you!! Say hi to the " old folks" at work....ha ha. Also I guess I was the only one that understood you with that accent.....ha ha ha

    Cheers Beth for putting me right, of course I was a hundred years out. It's all this work on the 100 years ago thread.

    I need to get back over. I hope to some day.

    Best wishes to everyone (and may I ask if Randy was shot down?)
