🕹️ Happy 33rd anniversary to Star Wars: X-Wing! 🕹️
X-Wing was one of the first games to feature 3D polygon graphics for spaceships and the first non-adventure game to use the iMUSE music system.
💾 X-Wing was originally released on floppy disks in February 1993! 💾

Without hesitation, he climbed and turned to come in again. The Catalina was met by intense and accurate fire and was repeatedly hit. The navigator/bomb aimer was killed. The second pilot and two other members of the crew were injured. Flying Officer Cruickshank was struck in seventy-two places, receiving two serious wounds in the lungs and ten penetrating wounds in the lower limbs. His aircraft was badly damaged and filled with the fumes of exploding shells. But he did not falter. He pressed home his attack, and released the depth charges himself, straddling the submarine perfectly. The U-boat was sunk. He then collapsed and the second pilot took over the controls. He recovered shortly afterwards and, though bleeding profusely, insisted on resuming command and retaining it until he was satisfied that the damaged aircraft was under control, that a course had been set for base and that all the necessary signals had been sent. Only then would he consent to receive medical aid and have his wounds attended to. He refused morphia in case it might prevent him from carrying on. During the next five and a half hours of the return flight he several times lapsed into unconsciousness owing to loss of blood. When he came to his first thought on each occasion was for the safety of his aircraft and crew. The damaged aircraft eventually reached base but it was clear that an immediate landing would be a hazardous task for the wounded and less experienced second pilot. Although able to breathe only with the greatest difficulty, Flying Officer Cruickshank insisted on being carried forward and propped up in the second pilot's seat. For a full hour, in spite of his agony and ever-increasing weakness, he gave orders as necessary, refusing to allow the aircraft to be brought down until the conditions of light and sea made this possible without undue risk.
This is quite the citation for John Cruickshank, the last surviving VC awardee from World War II, who has just died:

Well, I've been educated today. I knew the Oort Cloud was a long way out - Voyager 1 is licking along at around a million miles a day and it will take another 300 years to reach it - but I had no idea it was so deep.
When dealing with aircraft delays (as I am now), I'm always reminded of what an old CW4 pilot told me:
"It's better to be on the ground wishing your were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground."
Not a bot. I just don’t post much!
