I consider G3-MF, 325th, Nightmares, 49th, 35th, etc. all Allied squads.
I would have to disagree with you on that in regards to G3-MF Perd... When we were VF-15... yes, we were an Allied squad. But since the change, we fly whatever, whenever, where ever. We look at the setup each month, and request what we think would be more fun. If we get it... great. If not, that's fine too. Just about the only time we really "prefer" Allied is in a PTO setup, but thats because we are still Hellcat dweebos at heart
But we have flown IJN a few times as well.
To me... and I speak for all of G3 on this one... its about the mission, and flying together. We get handed a leaky bag once in a while, and do our best to make the most of it.
