421 Sqn originally started in AW in 1999. Moved to AH in the fall of 2000 IIRC.

Although we are basically "stood down" at the moment, we will be active again someday. (depending on when and if we can get everyone unemployed to the point we have time ..... we are all helicopter people, or bidniss owners, so time is now a problem).

In the "good old days" 421 employed 12 pilots who were without a doubt the most drunken, ornery, high strung, straight shooting bastages you ever met. We did good things though when ever we flew.

When 421 wanted something...we took it, pure and simple.

We keep the Sqn on the books, and don't disband because we are 421 'till we aren't....and that my friends is what a Sqn is about.

I messed around a couple years ago, and started a web site with geocities.Not great ( I had/have no idea how to build these things), but here it is nontheless.

Cheers folks, It has been my extreme pleasure to be associated with each and every one of you.

Originally started as KoJ (knights of Justice) around 1994....then renamed Birds of Prey and i joined in 1995 AWC AOL RRE4. Back then our cpids were BoP1a....BoP2b depending on wing and leadership position. I was BoP2d. Original members then were Tiger, Dragon, Pointer and Talon (sporty). I can remember their first names as well...Dan, Mike, Tom and Scott.

Ive been in a few different squads since I started playing online in 1996.

Knightz of Khaos, Rattlesden, JuNgLe RoT, JG26, all in Air Warrior, then went to WW2OL and was in Panzer Lehr, then came back to AH2 and joined the Nightmares. I have a cool leather jacket with the patches of all of them that I wear when I go to bars on saturday nights

Id like to say I was with the same squad for the past 10 years, but Im sort of a skank and I get around.

I've been here since 2002, been in The Sick Puppies for 3 years I believe. I think they've been around since AW some time, you'll have to ask Sonnyten, Reacher, or RHIN0.

Cooley, there was a 367th in AW RR Euro as well. Flew there for awhile. Think it was started by some guys from the Flaming Chickens. Here, I'm with the Freebirds and not sure when they got started.

About a month after the Nomads got rolling. I well remember when the 479th fragmented off the 56th after the AW JG54 v 56th Squad duel.

The Gunfighters (My AvA squad, and my squad from AW) was started by Hitech way back, probably 89-91, I joined in 93 after he had left to form FUBAR's.

Grits...

Actually...no. The GFs began life, I believe, in early 1990 as a bomber squadron...the RDF (Robotech Defense Force). This was prior to HT starting AW. He began in the fall of 1990. The founder had left the game and the squad was changed to the GF's before HT joined. Let's see, I remember Cookie, Quarters, HT, Heater, Lone Wolf (plays here as LW)....now my memory is beginning to fail....I feel a senior moment coming on............
