Flew with the 56th as it went away a few years ago... would love to join back up..   Have to consult with the 71st fellas though,... as they have been a great group to fly with.     ......HUB

Hub - there is an aircraft parked on the tarmac just for you.  Just say the word.

Just reforming. Ammo said we'll take a vote. Knights are currently winning that vote.

I'm an old 56th from the Nomdy, YUCCA, and Frenchy days.

If you go knights there are many of the Pigs who live in the 47 half their time. Messiah and Razor are getting quite naughty with jugs. When JugHead is around he can't miss whatever he aims at which gets to be a problem with him following me around to long range take my kills. Might have to do with being an active duty marine behind a mildot scope for a living. Syko regularly gets pissed at a red hoard and we fly P47M high alt sweeps to break them up. Messiah has us convinced the P47N on 50% internal is better than a spit after we flatten a town.

So yes...wink, wink, nod, nod.....knights. They really can use your help in a big way...........
