I'm opening up two more slots.  If you're a blue plane guy that's likes to work as a team, fly smart, and is dedicated to improving your game, this is a great squad for you.  Send a PM to me or Branch37 or visit our webpage (first post has the link).

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. :salute

No one has mentioned but the Corsairs we fly are modern with AM/FM/CD players that are automatically tuned to Katy Perry. We don't have a standard uniform and I typically fly in a Jolly Rogers banana hammock (currently sold out at the PX). It is customary to give each other  baseball Good Game butt taps after every mission so if you see us doing it carry on. Our leaders are fearless and never touch inappropriately. With all these great perks, why not be a pirate. Fly Navy! :D

(the rumors are true: BigRat can walk on water).

Yea, they never fixed that game bug.  Every time I bail over water I never seem to sink, I just walk around. :lol
