   Friday 2nd February 2001

The network connection was running already just minutes past midday, thanks to the sharp work by Team Ahma pilots. Network connection was sponsored by Soon Communications. First visitors had arrived after 1000. More and more started pilot after 1500. The fridge was filled with liquirs and the convention got fast into full throttle.

We had a number of local virtual pilots visiting us, including Recc, Ardesi, Janjan and Kaitsu at least (WB, AH), as we had promised friday to be a good day for non registered visitors. Much talking and grabbing. Air combat too. See the video for full comprehension. Especially check the webcam pictures, that show him standing on that table for almost two hours continuously making noise about organized missions. 2 vs 2 fights got to a slow start. Visaman crawled to a bar and didn't find back to the convention place. Sauna was hot early.

Camouflage flew in the Kuban scenario in WarBirds during the early morning hours of saturday. The picture has a good description of the results. The convention is starting. Grendel / Icebreakers, already toxicated. Ok / Icebreakers, scaring the evil spirits away. Visaman - and we know what he is thinking about...The reproduction of the human race.... Neck / Icebreakers feeling joyful Visa / Icebreakers enjoying a cold refreshing drink Ardesi visited us briefly both during friday and sunday Tilly / Moosefly, DOA trainer What could be reason for Grendel to look that happy? Lart / Icebreakers - Mission: grab a towel.- Heading: sauna PJK / JG3 chatting with Eni in kitchen. Recc and other fellows prepared us a art show of the WB3 109 Emil skins. Jarru / Moosefly - the FRONT LEADER of friday night. Listened the friday evening video?

Saturday's program started first with a good sauna, then it was off to Megazone to play some laser war games.

   Competitions - the 2 vs 2 duels

Team Ahma sings some songs

Urban Blitz 2001 Urban Blitz 2001

Hey, he's born with speed inside his skull, hey hey, heyyyyyyy and a joystick in his hand. A sharp turn to left and then to right, and scissors is made always in its time.

I was the wife of a WarBirds pilot, almost a widow every night. One day your joystick and stuff might fly to the trashcan, with your pedals following close behind...

JOYSTICK KOURASSA
(Joystick in my hand - Bensaa suonissa)
(sanat: Cirrus)

Hän on sinitaivaan virtuoosi,
hän lentää matalaan.
Sauvan tuuppaa kiinni tauluun.

Pinnoissa hän kaartelee kuin
taivaan Rubinstein.
Ampuu siivet irti viholliseltaan.

Hei, hän syntynyt on vauhti kallossaan,
hei,hei, hee'ee'ei ja joystick kourassaan.
Tiukka kaarto vasempaan ja sitten oikeaan,
Sakset syntyy aina ajallaan.

Yhden Spitin sauvassa liikaa klappia,
se tuli piikille,sitten tuotiin pappia.

Taivas täynnä coneja, öljyt acki vei,
kun herra Killi on nimena ei.

Hei, hän syntynyt on vauhti kallossaan,
hei,hei, hee'ee'ei ja joystick kourassaan.
Tiukka kaarto vasempaan ja sitten oikeaan,
Sakset syntyy aina ajallaan.

Sanoivat kaiken rajoiksi taivaan ja maan.
Häntä pysty kumpikaan ei kaha'litsemaan.

ÜberFinnssin Perkele soittaa sävelmää:
Tykki laulaa siivet ulvoo killi häämöttää.

Hei, hän syntynyt on vauhti kallossaan,
hei,hei, hee'ee'ei ja joystick kourassaan.
Tiukka kaarto vasempaan ja sitten oikeaan,
Sakset syntyy aina ajallaan.

WARBIRDS LENTÄJÄN VAIMO

(Wife of a WarBirds pilot - Edu Kettusen Lentäjän poika)
(sanat: Cirrus)

Minä istuin sun näyttösi ääreen,
jäin ihmettä katselemaan
iso mies ampuu ruudulla hyppivää pilkkuu
niin innoissaan osuessaan.

Minä "ihailin" killiä hienoo,
minä nöyristä vaimoista nöyrin.
Ja kun vihdoinkin luulin et' nythän se riittää
jäit seuraavaa yrittämään.

Olin Warbirds lentäjän vaimo,
lähes leski siis iltaisin.
Vielä lentäisi roskiin joystickit ja muut
samaa tietä sun polkimetkin.

Minä nukahdin jalkojes ääreen
unen Warbirdsin lopusta näin:
Minä näin naisen niin huimapäisen
ja varman syöksyvän eteenpäin,
eteenpäin läpi johtojen verhon
kohta Warbirds on historiaa.
PC:n näyttökin sammui ja lenteli johdot
kun ne irtosi pistok'keistaan.

Olin Warbirds ...

RogerWilcosta aina mä kuulen
ÜberFinnsien kailotusta:
Taas kiitotien päässä on maassa reikä
tehden lähdöstä mahdottoman.

Olin Warbirds ...

The 2 vs 2 duel was fought to its bitter end during saturday evening. Pairs were randomized. When they were ready teams flipped a coin, winner picked a plane and all fought with it. Takeoff from same field, climb to 1 km to opposite direction and merge wingtip to wingtip with the enemy pair. Judge called the merge null and void if planes were not in tight formation or were not in 1 km altitude.

First elimination rounds were flown, so we could get the teams into manageable number for full ladder. The opponents were:
Julle+Kossu vs My+Itmo (109 F) - winner Julle+Kossu
Eni+Kouhia vs Kynkky+Cirrus (A6M) - winner Eni+Kouhia
Ohglid+PJK vs Jarru+Grendel (109 F) - winner Ohglid+PJK
Koko+Cosmo vs Harppa+Camo (Ki-43) - winner Koko+Cosmo

Then the semifinals:
Ohglid+Pjk vs Julle+Kossu - winner Ohglid+PJK
Eni+Kouhia vs Koko+Cosmo - winner Koko+Cosmo

Finals:
Ohglid+PJK vs Koko + Cosmo
WINNERS: KOKO AND COSMO

Team 1: PJK / JG3 and Ohglid / Team Ahma preparing to go against... Cosmo / Icebreakers and Koko / Moosefly Both teams preparing for the last round of combat that will show who's the king..<br>
Cosmo, PJK, Koko and Ohglid And the winner is... KOKO & COSMO! (Ohglid, PJK, Koko, Cosmo)

Not very surprisingly, Cosmo was commented to look like the younger brother of Sid Vicious. His appearance is because he was dragged from sauna to the last round ;-)
