I was still in my 2 week trial (a few years ago) when I got a squad invite pop up message.  I assumed it was one of those join requests & hit accept; I was surprised to see that it was actually a squad invite.

I spent a year in the squad without ever having talked to one single person in our squad.  Not on vox, typing, nothing.  I was content with that though.  

After about a year, I joined the ~Air Raiders~
Best bunch of folks ever. :)   If I had only known what I was missing when I was with that first phantom squad, I probably would have looked for the ~Air Raiders~ sooner.   :)

I started off in FA 2.0 2000,  ended up in a squad called TEA (The Empire Aces)  They were the best GB squad in game and had some top pilots of that era.   FA 3.5 2002 - 2004  I ended up joining the Damned who were the mysterious elite fighter pilots of that game.

Dominated the weekly KOTS squadron events for near on 2 years without losing out too anybody.  To a point where people no longer challenged us kinda ruined the whole event :(.  We were feared everywhere we went, if you saw that name tag you either ran or died.   Never have I experienced such superb wingman skills and communication.  To have 6, 8, 10 killer guys all on the same page was a blast.  

I formed The Few in 2003 as a squad I could fly with in my time zones (without having to stay up til the early hours) and to fight the Japanese hordes when they opened up the other server.   The Japanese players were easy targets at first and we slaughtered them wholesale.  They got better quickly but also revised their tactics.   I took it upon myself to command most of the guys on GB to fight these battles outnumbered.  We held our own.   Uniting British players into one force to be reckoned with was the goal and we did it.

I quit the Damned to fly and command The Few without interference.  The player numbers started nosediving and I came here in May 2005.

I'm not in a squad now, but I was in LCA because of Ramapo running fun missions.

Joined the Few a week or so after joining AH. Bruv saw I came from the same town as him in the UK - and taught me a couple of things - my primary role within the squad is to bait people into a conga line, and lead them to getting shot down by everyone else lol.......or maybe thats just cos my flying sucks.....:D

I love flying with the guys in the Few - very good sticks, great people all round

to all in the game, nowhere else have I had as much fun with my clothes on :D

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

I left oREo squad mainly to persue a more aggressive fighter squadron, decided to leave bishop all together and go rook to check it out. Think what caught my eye was dextur and axer working together as a team flying around in p47's one day mowing down entire knit field, figured i'd ask shawk about an invite.

Gotta say its been a great experience altogether, and the rook side

Lets see.... I had one of the original MS flight simulators... the Huge Floopy one... and also Chuck Yeager's AFT... Did a search on AOLousy back in '97-'98 and found AW... "hmmm this seem's interesting"... been hooked since... I started my own squad with some guys at work I talked into it. We were ~69th BLACKCATS~, we flew RR.. europe? "'C's"
I then got my father hooked onto AW... He ended up meeting the CHawks started by Jhffo and Bison... the original Bison and Jhffo... since retired.
Well, everyone here knows of the demise of AW by EA sports... I took a haitus... shelved my MS JStick and did RL stuff... got bored and did a search on AOLousy once again and found a new game called  AcesHighII.."hmmm this seems interesting"... wooh! Dejavu..Did the 8v8 for a while to get my feet wet again and then subscribed.
Joined the Knights right away.. saw some CHawks on.. did a shout-out to BelethCH..Quick history conversation ensued and was given an invite in 30 minutes. Been there ever since and I will be for life.
They are a very Complete squad IMHO,  Bombers... Fighters... Attackers... Furballers.. GV'ers... whateva ya wanna do.
