With your attitude, I would be very surprised you'd get any help.  People were trying to help you by saying that you're the CO and it should be your decision but you're too young and dumb to listen to good advice. 


ack-ack

Judging from your signature I would suggest "The Misquotes"

or "Death to spelling".

Well you know a Pony in the air with at a maximum of 150 B17 heavy bombers with puffy 5 inch guns firing every half second with 30-60 escorts and 2 full dar bars worth of enemy fighters. You kinda need a Pony squad lol.

I would suggest you buy a few books on World War II Mustang operations and read them. There is bound to be a story in those books that catches your imagination and will lead you to choose an historical squadron or group name that actually means something to you.

OK, let me break it down for you, I am the CO for the 2D amenders, or the 2d amendment squadron.  It was started by Utah, he believed in the second amendment of the constitution, which is the right to bear, and hold arms.  He made the rule that we would fly Navy aircraft as the Squad plane, because, he liked the F4U series planes.  It was HIS decision, I joined because HE brought me in.  Now I am the CO.  I decided to keep his ideals, but I took the politics out of the Website.  I fly what I want to, so do MY squadies, unless it is squad night, then we fly Navy planes, unless we need bombers.  The Second Amendment, means something to MY squad, even the Yankees, and the guys from Venezuela, even though they are not Americans.  Pick a name that means something to YOU.  Put it out to your squadies, if they like it good, if they dont, you can hold a discussion, but YOU need to run your squad.  Look at this as a way to develop leadership skills.  Do you think that Pappy Boyington, would say, "Ok guys I think that we should do such and such."  Would Patton say," You in the green, would you please go over and try to defend that little hill over there?".  You are the CO you have to make a decision.  It is none of our buisness what you call your squad.  When Utah left the game, I did not ask the squad if they wanted to change the name, I made the decision, I was keeping the name.  If they wanted to stay with the squad good if they didnt, Adios.  All of them stayed.  
  Also do you want to fly Army Air Corps planes, do you want to fly Navy, do you want to fly Japanese,German, Russian? Before you ask a question like this you need to think of things like this, and then look up some squadrons, there were plenty out there.  But it all boils down to YOU need to mack a decision.

And Vini Vidi Velco, means "I came, I saw, I stuck around"  If you were refering to me Dawger, if not disreguard.

There is a great book called,"Death Squadron" by Grover C. Hall, it is not so much about the flying but about the men and what they did.  A VERY good read.
