TFC celebrates 10 yr anniversary
« on: June 15, 2010, 09:57:14 AM »
10 years ago a small group of malcontents and miscreants from AW decided to get together in Aces High and form a Squadron.

Vati, our original CO got myself, KrzyHrs (now deceased) EDO, Toggl, Bazi together.
We recruited Shamus, Rob53 Chauncy and Trell and initially called ourselves the Sturmgruppen. That was a mistake...all the luftweenies kept pestering us and asking if we were a LW Squadron.  Since we flew a mix of planes we decided to rename the squad The Flying Circus.  We were one of the earliest squads in the game and were highlighted by Ripsnort on a web page.  Rip interviewed the then squadron COs of the game.  There weren't that many at the time.

I would like to say on behalf of the TFC to HTC and our friendly foes in the sky.
Thanks for making the first ten a blast for a bunch of washed up Geezers!

  (what's unique about this squad is we have no CO,the title is just formality)

     Way to go TFC!  Always a class act.  :aok  Only one questionable decision in a decade, but I'm
sure Hajo will fit in eventually  :D
