Just wanted to let the CMs and other COs know that 880 Fleet Air Arm will be changing it's name to 353rd Fighter Group.

That's it

Wow Bug.
The 880th is one of those "forever" squads. Very recognizable name.
Why the change?

I will be taking over for 880, and TheBug will be heading the new squad, the 353rdFG.

Might be a few weeks before 880 is ready to come back in, but it will be back.

Just to add to what Warloc said the reason for the change had to do with many things but in a nutshell centered upon: The squad becoming a majority of Americans, a new face to go with the big influx of new pilots and a change to spur on the health and energy of the squad. Plus we are positioning for the release of Combat Tour next week.

But as Warloc mentioned 880 will live on(didn't want to mention that since I would be speaking in his place) and hopefully will be back very soon.
