I miss these guys, they always brought excitment to the hobby.

 

Mike Stone- the king of good basic aircraft

Milton Shupe- creator of the finest freeware

Melvin Raffi- Boeing 777 master

Ken Mitchell- his panels are timeless

Gary J. Smith- Gary's enthusism was unmatced

Opa Marshall- was the Man

 

Finally the Flightsim Developer Awards

I forgot to mention Miltom Shupe; he personally helped me out with a couple of his models which made them one of my favorites to fly.

 

The Thread got me thinking if there were any others, and I came up with a few more. please forgive me if I get names wrong or mixed up...

 

Frank Betts

Andrew Loney

And all the others who created all those little Scenery bits for Alaska, which makes flying there much more interesting and somewhat realistic.

 

Bush Flying Unlimited

Alaskan Winds

(These guys gave a purpose to fly in Alaska; BITD it really gave me something to look forward to doing every day... something I"m trying to rekindle this time around.)

 

DC-3 Airlines

(They're still around, and if you have even a meager taste for flying the Gooney Bird, they're a great place to log some hours with, and re-create the 'golden' days of flight. The DC-3 flew everywhere on a regular basis up into the early 60's, and folks still fly them in Colombia to this day. You know how many airlines there were in the 40's and 50's using the DC-3?)

 

Sorry about the plug. They're one of the only places left that cater to us Niners...

Also not to forget MAAM-Sim with Bill Rambow, Jan Visser, Fred Banting, Robert Young, Bill Womack, Howard Sodja and Mark Beaumont with their marvelous DC-3, B-25 Mitchel and TBM Avenger.

 

As well as Marco Spada, the panel artist from Italia.
