Assuming this is all true, very nice detective work.
Well, thanks, but with Wikipedia anymore, it honestly wasn't all that difficult...
And quickly, for the record, I loved Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge.
One of my favorite games... waited and waited for a sequel... maybe one day. IIRC it was an Xbox Live launch title... definitely one of the first major Xbox games to do well on the "fledgling" online gaming service. One of my very favorites, well along with the Rallisport games... was really disapointed to not see an current gen sequel to that series as well.
Anyway, back to my so-called detective work...
