Congratulations Reschke and Mac 4PS, you lucky Warthog Hotas winners!

Congrats, both of you! Be sure to tell us how well they work-because if it's anything like what we've been hearing later, it's nothing short of amazing, even compared to modded Cougars! I promise Warthog Porn Pics!  Rule 34 strikes again... (But honestly, what do you expect when you're talking about phallic objects with the brand "Thrustmaster"?)

Quite simply I want a TM Warthog because it is the next step in the evolution of what I feel are the best flight simulation controllers on the market and what I feel have always been the best controllers in this genre! Plus as an update as of today 10/29/2010...I just lost my job of 10+ years due to "cutbacks" and I am not going to be able to save the money that I wanted to for the controllers.
This is why I didn't even attempt to enter. Many thanks to the judges who chose this to be a winning post. Congratulations Reschke! Hope you find a new job soon -- though most of them have been shipped off to china and india by the bean counters!

Congrats Reschke! I have to admit I'm jealous that I'll have to package up your Warthog that I've been using for an article and send it off to you! I'll have tears in my eyes as I send her away.. Enjoy the Warthog..it is awesome! Regards, BeachAV8R

I think I've got like 8 videos he has sent me for the article. Don't worry about any baby food from Kai on the controls. Beach promised me he'd clean that off before shipping!

As long as the warranty is still good we are OK! Sometimes you gotta be careful and just be safe.

Winning something, <anything>, is always such a wonderful feeling, but winning a Warthog must be pure joy. I envy you for that, but only that; I don't think these prizes could have gone to any finer gentlemen than you two.
