Who are the most memorable squads?

[Killjoy2]

I've been playing since WB 1.xx (who remembers anymore).  

I really miss some of the old squads.  It seems they just fade away like old soldiers.  

The Flying Pigs of WB's
Some of the best pilots and programmers in the business.  

The FDB's of AH
Some of the vilest, most pathetic people you'd want to meet.  Good fun also.


Who are some of your favorites?

Gotta go with The Damned. They date back to AirWarrior DOS daze.

The Nomads, with their glass cockpit hax.

Being new to AH I dont have one for this game. However I flew AW waaaaaay back in the early 90's to it's demise. there were two squads I recall.

RTC  Rosarios Traveling Circus

Mostly because of a few of the pilots that flew with them were really cool players and I winged with them many many times over the years. They were always respectful but very skilled flyers.


FI   Fighters Incorporated

Mostly because I flew with VF63 Hellcats and FI would join us on strike mission and bailed us out of many close calls over the  years. I see a squad in AHII now called Fighters Incorporated but I dont know if they are the same one. I see ROBO cpid but he has not answered any of my PM's so I figure it is a different player using his cpid.



Great players to fly with all

The 444th Air Mafia in AW, even had a base named after them in "Big Pac". They here in AH too, but no where as big a squad as they were in AW...... ahhhhhh those where the days.

Who was that jackarse they had as a CO of the Mafia  in AW ????
Oh well I'm sure it will come to me sometime.
Yeah back in AW Squads I recall most were Mafia, MAW, RTC and El Cartel.

Pigstompers
EFW
Suicide Operations Group (SOG)

I remember a couple from the AW days just because they had such fitting names; The Nomads changed countries almost every camp and The Landscapers were a buff squad.

Of course the one I remember most was my own, The Red Barons.  All our names started with ^.

I don't know..... lets see, there were some great ones....  was Pak, JBKID, Mule, some other guy who brought the squad to AH, then a few other great ones like Tzr, and Mugz...... can't remember that other jackarse in the middle, most unrememberable dude of the bunch....... hhhmmmmmmmm

Kraits had that great program to change "skins" almost on the fly in AW, and AK's made one of the best maps ever in AH .

Slapshot has named a few squads that have been familiar for a long time. I myself used to be XO in  Grims's   USMC (which has been renamed to Grim's Reapers).  I have just returned to AH and am back in the squad now. A fair amount of the folks in the squad who flew back in the old AW days, are still in the squad, though, a few do not fly as much now. AH is not what it used to be.
I remember the professionalism of the pilots back in AW days and early AH days. We used to have more mature and professional pilots back then.
From what I have been hearing, it seems AH2 is starting to be geared to a more younger crowd (15 to 18 years old).
I really hope this community can change back to what it used to be.
