I remember The Damned being a squad shortly before The Musketeers.  I winged a lot with the old Damned in AW.

Just to answer this for all those who enjoy splitting hairs at home . . .

Lost track of this thread, life and work intervened.

We are the oldest CONTINUOUSLY operating squad. My signature says operating simply because there isn't enough room to put the whole thing in. Other squads were started earlier but they went through phases where they weren't flying anywhere, shut down and started up again. The Musketeers have been continously flying since being founding Feb. 23rd, 1990. Sorry Fencer, your memory chips need updating :). I've been flying with the squad since late 1990 and it was going before I started.

Since 1990, there hasn't been a time when Musketeers haven't been flying in an MMO somewhere.

I hope that clears it up for you. Now I return you to the usual back biting and carping :)

I hate to say it but I think the AK's and Pig Stompers been around longer, they were BEFORE AW back to Sierra network days and are still flying and I think the WingWalkers may also be in that group.

I will have to find out when the Fubars were formed. I do believe I was part of the original Musketeers , Ill have to talk to fencer about it to refresh my memory. And I believe Fubars existed before I joined the Musketeers. And they have definitely existed every since.

That's right.  I saw the small review in Computer Gaming World for Airwarrior in December 1989, and started in January 1990.  It was right after that when they formed.

But if the Damned started BEFORE 1990, and have always had a continuous presence, wouldn't that mean...

Well I just checked PS history and I guess I am wrong I was thinking we started in 86 or so, but looks like 92 is the date, and if those guys are correct The Sierra Network was coexisting Kesmai I just didn't know about Kesmai till later and thought that TSN predated them. :o

My mem is a little fuzzy There was a sister squad formed to the Musketeers , I can not remember the name, it was that squad I was a member of not the Musketeers, the Musketeers existed before I joined AW.

Rgr fence, heater and I were wing man in that squad along with kite, and can't think of the 4th. Will have to grab the Dayton musketeers protocol to see who was the 4th in the wing.

HiTech, the sister/second squad of the Musketeers was Knightsbridge. Both you and I joined that and then that was brought into the Musketeers when all the BMan/Stiletto stuff was going on.
