Tiff+ if you haven't heard, I have had alzheimers for the past 12/13 years........my mind is slowly going, Girl ( is a joke, when I actually thought you was a female back in AW in RR, hehe )

but seriously, Thank You for keeping me from fouling that up mixing the 2 together, my friend!

edit: must be that rivalry that caused me to put them together? am guessing........

LOL back in those days when one had to explain that the RAF Typhoon was referred to as a Tiffie!  Ah well, it was good fun.

Duxford Wing RAF has been around since BEFORE Aces High.  Sadly, we have a single limey in our ranks now.  When I joined in Jan of '08 there were a half dozen limeys, a few dingy Welshmen, and even a rascally Scot.  :D  Oh, I think we had an Afrikaner as well.

Now, there are mostly yanks and a Canuck or two. And we are blessed to have a qbert, too.   :D

Thanks Butcher!  I'll get them in the list.

Regarding the website not being updated for years - I'm curious.  Why do you think that is?   (And your squad's website is certainly not the only one suffering from lack of attention.).  Were squad websites just a phase in the chronology of MMO history?  Has their functionality and usefulness been supplanted or replaced by something else?

I was with the 327th Steel Talons in the 90s playing Air Warrior. I saw and tried Aces High and liked it better so I joined the AKs. I've been out for a couple of years because of health issues and I just came back this week and it's great to be back. I suck so free kills till I get my sea legs back

Made some fixes, added some squads you guys mentioned.  Removed the Gunfighters as they appear to be defunct.   Looks like 1996 was a good year for squads...lotta 20 year anniversaries coming up next year.  Wish I could find a start year for the Birds of Prey; I just stuck them in the 1992-1996 gap.

Does anyone know the status of the Few, LTAR, and the Elite?
