Bama....now there is a name I remember....I flew for the Az as "Twr" and had many a memorable fight with him in F6F's. Squad I was in VMF214 I believe.

I've thought that for a long time NB but I was always afraid to say it out loud. Back then I think the only "squeaker" we had was Shadow Demon, and he was well behaved other than asking for the Me163 all the time.

TC you mention sassy and Bama.

Its a longshot but they are both in FA. If they are the same people Bama has been part of the Banzai squadron since FA2.5 or earlier. I shot him down in MKOTS only last tuesday.

Sassy is still about the old mare I was in the same squad as her called TEA (The Empire Aces) circa 2001-02 now she has traitored and in some JG luft squad.

You obviously weren't at the '92 con. That kid was a parent's worst nightmare. He spent the weekend ordering his father around like a servant and whining.

So many known names...Great fights in WB, those were the days...We were so many at 249 RAF that we had to create 601 RAF. We formed a Wing, Tangmere Wing, with the 312, 612 and 56...I think we reached 100 in total at one point...

I remember vividly the Scanian Griffins, our WB nemesis, and JG27. And, of course, all the others before mentioned.

I can't remember exactly when I started in WB, I believe it was in 1997, and 249 already existed for a couple of years.

Never left the squadron, not even for one day. I even kept my callsign from WB...Some of our founders still fly, even that only ocasionally.

Spent 3 joysticks in 10 years.

That's all folks! all,

Sparow
249 Sqn RAF "Gold Coast"

Yep, it was great being an 249th member, i must say we were an bunch of very skilled players

, i remember the Tamgmere wing too hehe. As for Scanian Griffins, i remember -rudu- (rubber duck?) and 2b2b i think from that squad.

I have to make an shoutout to the 900th Bloody Jaguars from Warbirds also, was my first squad i joined. And there were some really cool dudes there.

I should add that not a single AirWarriorite squad is memorable for me.

Honestly there's too many to remember from AW lol

Out of all of those, I'm sure anyone who has played AW, has been in one of those squads at one point in time or another. And out of those squads from AW, with the exception of a few, are still together in one way shape or form.
And they all for the most part, were extremely good in their day. A lot of squads, like a lot of members in -=MW=- that are still together from AW, isn't actually here for the game anymore. They're here because of the people who has been a small part of their life for X amount of years, whether they're in the same squad or even on the same country, it's nice to see people and continue to play this game with those who you've known for so many years.

That's just sad.

So it was talking about squads folks remember.

There are a lot of old AW types here.

We talked about those squads.

Don't recall anyone saying it was AW best of.

Feeling a tad bit of an inferiority complex?

Lighten up a bit. We're just talking and lots of us share that part of the online flight sim history.

Well , I was perhaps a bit harsh.

I tried to point something I noted since the AW influx ,when I can't disagree with old geezer sharing souvenir (*) it always end the same for me AW vets take precedence over AH vets.

Look at golfer comment about Bingo and Winchester and my answer, before the massive arrival of AW veteran a tradition existed (or was starting) in AH ,all was stopped when the AW vet came,substituting your traditions to our (in game and in forum) something changed but "c'est la vie".

It's this appropriation I'm criticizing ,not that I'm against you or any AW veteran.

Btw you will be allways AH newbies

,as I** recognize the vet. status to AH beta1 player only (the ones who took the time to lean me how to die gracefully:D)

* don't take it bad I'm a kind of old geezer too

** and myself alone

Well without AW you wouldn't have had WB or AH. If my memory serves me, Hitech and Pyro were AW types long long ago in a civilization far far away.

I found SKT. He's playing EVE Online now. I'll try and point him to this thread Doc and let him know you're looking for him if you like.

Good to see 4 Wing and 416 Lynx making the old AW cuts. We still exist, however not here anymore (well...not right now). Good memories of Airwarrior, however I must say...Aces High kicks it's arse.
