I really hope this community can change back to what it used to be.

Nomads changed countries just about every other day and more often then not were mixed in to all three killing each other.

Lots of folks didn't like that attitude then or now :)

AKs, back in the early AH1 days I flew with Nimitz (great guy), but I don't know how many of the current AKs were around back then. I still think of them as a "senior" squad (i.e. not old farts, but a squad with roots)

Perhaps, but we're too slow to run, so at least we fight.

I know they were in Red Baron and later games, but I wasn't, so I just recounted one of my earliest experiences with 'em. ;)

Not to be taken that they've only been around since then, it's just that I've only been around since then. :aok

Pigstompers, I remember flying against them in the early 90's in Red Baron 1
The Airheads, my old squadron from the RB1 days... some still fly now, WHELS for one.  Anyone from RB1 remembers us.

Nomads from Airwarrior... I hated/loved flying against those +Guys+

The Ol' ones from AW

USMC from AW, WB, AH1&2 - I was a member of this squad and continue flying with Grim now in the Grims Reapers squad.

367th, fine group of enemy pilots... They have a lot in common with us.

AKs, always a good fight

JBs good friends or foes depending on which side theyre on this week.

The damned, a damned good group.

There are other good squads out there, some are just too new for me to say they are memorable YET... we'll see how it goes.

I remember as a member of Red Dawn hunting down the =Iron Eagles= for our squadron nights.  They always put up a fun but futile fights.
