not at all, am not baiting anyone and really had no idea you was not with them, I will edit that out,  I was not trying to bait you, even though it may look that way,  I did try to show you ( thinking you was still in a certian squad) that it did matter when others come in and take a squads name as their own regardless of the history behind the sqd ( fake or real )

this issue has happened to both types of squads in the past, where a group from another flight sim came in and named their sqd after another squad of the same name was already here.....

and no sir, I was not trying to make anyone look like a fool, I did maybe take a little offense when you started to slam me with the I have no clue to history bit


no worries

Hey Cobra,
since you are without a squad, come fly along with me sometime and get to know me, outside of recent postings on this board and ingame, what I remember about you was the fights we had against each other long time ago in the CT which I very much enjoyed,  back in 2002 or 2003, so maybe if we winged a few together we would each get to know a little more about the other person behind the gameid/screen name.........

TC I've already been informed that I'm not welcome on the Knights side.  I'm pretty sure I'm not welcome on the Bish side either.

Regarding the thread starter...
That has been a common issue for some time when a historical squadron name is used.  Often one of the duplicate squads will do something with their name to distinguish from the other.   Sometimes a simple bracket character is enough to avoid cofusion "-={}=-".  They can co-exist.  Just look at all the squadrons over the years that have had "Tigers" in their name.

I understood TCs point made via sarcasm immediately.  I doubt he wanted to bait you personally.  Looks to me like many knights would welcome you, I certianly wouldnt mind seeing you as a knight.

What Murdr said and just want to add that the 479th was also a P-51 squadron *hint*

My 2cents.



 I think in this case its bad form. The 325th guys have been around awhile. I know the copycats havent broke any rules and  they are free to do as they please as paying customers. But ripping off an active AH squad is lame IMO.

The squad I am in was formed in 96 in AW two other squads of the same name were since formed in WB and one has since moved over here too.

We do not have a problem with this.

Infact its kinda cool  and as we both fly for Bish its nice to help each other out.


This has to be one of the most ignorant posts I've et to see in this entire BBS.

I belong to the CAF (Cactus Air Force) which was started 10 years in AW Dos.  This is a WWII named squad.  They were the 1st Marine Air Wing (MAW) in WWII.  

Tilt, shove your "I wanna cookie for being apart of a "made up" named squad" self, up your ***.

Gentlemen, gentlemen,...

It is a game!  

Anyway, easy solution here.  If you guys have a problem with this, slug it out between the guys involved!  Have a CM setup the SEA arena or do it in the DA.  Three out of Five!  Publicize the duel widely and discuss rules in a separate thread.  It's the best way to settle an argument :D

This link does not list all the squads, ie DOW is ranked, overall, as 116.

There are 522 active MA squads with members.

There are 175 active CT squads with members.

Granted there are squads that are both registered in the MA and CT so there will be duplicates.
