I just want to say, to anyone who's serious about finding a quality squad to fly with, you can not do better than the fighting 17. Our pilot skills range from complete novices (like me), to pros (ppl who fly for a living), but our training is top-notch, as are our trainers (the rumors are true: BigRat can walk on water). Between Rat, BC, Seighin, and our Glorious Leader, Branch, we have some of the finest and most talented leadership in the game. I've learned more from flying with these guys than I had in the previous years of flying alone and with other squads. But, hey, if you're a really accomplished stick, there's room for you, too. We welcome your contributions; everyone adds something, even me (target drone). And a more irreverent bunch you won't find anywhere.
Check us out, you'll be glad you did.
