They were tickled pink about our virtual squad, and real happy when we got the 367th authentic skins for the P-47 and P-38.

Same here regarding the 479th.

ditto with the 80th Headhunters.  Had Marion Kirby, who was a 38 ace with the 80th and 475th comment on the skin Fester did of his 475th P38H "Maiden Headhunter".  Thought that was kinda cool

I well remember tracking down Kyle Riddle for Reemo back in the 479 th AW days as well as Robin Olds :)

Being of the Old 31st Bomber Barons.  The Fighter/Attack wings were disbanded, but the COs of those didnt delete their accounts.  The only 31st that still flys are the 31st Fighter Group.


Now, my squad VF-31 Tomcatters, gets mistaken for the 31st FG all the time, which, being an old member of that squad, i dont mind.  Havent heard any complains from current members, so dont know how they feel about it.

I named our squad VF-31 Tomcatters to honor the pilots, past and present.  And to make all Aces Highers fear the carrier once again!!

Do you know where Marion Kirby is from? That is my last name and everyone in this country with that name is related to me in some way.

I believe he's in Arizona now, but his home town is listed as Lampasas, Texas in "Fighter Aces of the USA"

I see some boppers are still flouting their intellectual flatulence about the place....

On the plus side, I have noticed a genuine reduction in the level of bop gasses being generated in the arenas with the recent improvements in gameplay.

Puny Bode.

*WE* were the VMF-214 in 1995, and our original webpage is even still up, in a manner of speaking. The page is at:

http://www.rogue-gryffons.com/vmf214/index.htm

and some background is at:

http://www.rogue-gryffons.com/node/111

Clearly, what we have here is a case of "prior art."

Now then. I would be happy to grant you and your squadron an exclusive license of the squadron number "214" for ONE MILLION DOLLARS and a can of tuna for my cat, Mr. Bigglesworth.


But seriously, historical squadron desginations are, for all intents and purposes, in the realm of public domain after all these years. In the same sense that nothing prevented you from using it, nothing prevents anyone else from using it.

I would have more sympathy for your plight if yours was an original squadron name, like, say, "The Flying Babushkas," but you've only selected what is arguably the most famous Marine squadron of WWII.

Now then, kindly paypal the ONE MILLION DOLLARS to...

"The Flying Babushkas,"

They need a decent motto...

"Flying Summersaults since 2006"

They only fly LA-7s, and after dive bombing a bases radar, they always fly inverted through a hanger.

I like it...
