Had fun last night, sir. Congrats on the reformation of the Gunfighters squadron (in AH now). I wish you the greatest success and fun.

Here's a pic to commemorate the occasion:

I hope so, DD seemed interested when I told him you could loop a B-17.

DD peaked in the mid-90's.  he doesn't have what it takes to handle AH.

:D

Well, if he peaked in the mid '90's then I had the good fortune to see him at his peak. Those that didnt see it missed a dang good show. :D

I learned a lot from him, Wolfie, Pyro, and Rabid and I consider myself lucky to have been in the same squad with them even though it was less than a year. I want the new Gunfighters to have the same loose structure we had back then, but I also want it to be known in the same way as a deadly bunch of guys who take the fight to the enemy.

I am unsure how many I'll get interested though, as the guys I think would be the best fit are already well intrenched in existing squads, and newbies dont want to be at a handicap of always flying against the odds. We shall see I guess.
