Historical Question from an Enthusiast

other than the Webmaster, who is the longest serving (and surviving) member of the Aerodrome Forum?

I am not the longest serving and i did not survive either, but i started frequenting these parts around december of 1997.

Looks like Mike Baram has you beat. He signed the guest book back in Sept. of 1997.

I've been on here since at least January of 1998.

VBR,

Al Lowe

I don't qualify either. Think I'm somewhere with Al... around early '98. What about Darryl or Barrett?

[Darryl]

No, not I sirs. About March 1998. Just about when "The Hangar" went into a nose dive. Mike Baram, Al, Barrett, Michael Dailey, were definately already here. I would have thought Leo was also and probably Ira. Stephen I think you were just before or just after me?

Anyway, back to work. (time to catch up with other threads later.) I see the revisionism argument is alive and well. But no Luke or Bishop threads on the front page, or the second...what's going on? You stay away for a few weeks......

regards to all

Darryl

I remember Barrett, Al and Mike from end of 97 / early 98 when I first came here (I think it was then, kind of hard to remember...). I'd say they can battle it out amongst themselves. Michael, you may well have been around, but my earliest memory of you is having an argument over MvR some months later

Regards,

Simon

I think it was late '97 when Ira and I determined that Yiddish would be the official language of the forum, with some help from Leo, of course.

Mike:

It was late '97 when we tried to determine if Voss spoke Yiddish as a second language. No doubt Frankl did!

VBR,

Ira

So what happened to all the messages before 28 Aug 98?

[Scott]

Before the archives were established in 1998, messages were deleted from the forum after 30 days of inactivity.
