Top ten oldest squads in Aces High?

[27th]

Well, here's what I came up with.  Lots of history in this table:

Congrats to ALL you guys who have kept the faith and kept these squads going for so long.   

Three squads I can think of that I was a member two of the three:

1.  Army of Darkness (AOD)- Led by SkyD - Late 90's until 2001 Air Wariror's death then jumped to and Aces High until it folded around 2003 but re-activated in late 2000's led by BADR to fold again few years later. 

2. Jabostaffel (JB) led by JB42  (I was a member of for two years 2003-2005 as JB27) I don't know the squad history but I believe this squad lasted close to ten years in Aces High.  It was a Axis only squad (except for free day Fridays... ) Great bunch of fighter pilots. Wonderful times such as flying 15-20 TA152's at 30k looking bombers and what a sight to see.  Til this day a former squaddie still flies under JB11. 

3. I wasn't a part of but I they were our rivals while I was part of the JB's and we had many countless encounters with them is the MAWS. I don't remember who led the MAWS but they were a huge squad. Much respect to my former foes.

I'll PM you a png file of The Few's art, Oboe.

Great!   Thanks, Kazaa.

27th, I remember the MAWs.   What about JG11?  Have they been at it for more than 10 yrs?

The 479th "Riddle's Raiders" FG started up in 1996 in AW and lasted in AH until I officially retired the squadron in 2013.

Sorry to hear about the 479th, Ack-Ack.    Little Edris is one of my favorite 38Js in the game.   Are you still flying?

Yeah, it was sad pulling the plug on the Raiders but at the end I was the only one left as the others had moved on to life outside of AH. Yep, still flying.

BigB is still posting over at FW from MAW, and yes, his posts are as unintelligible there as his posts and 200 chatter was here, but he is still around, sort of, and the only MAW I know from those days.

I remember the JB guys well, great bunch of LW pilots, some great, really skilled 109 pilots, it's too bad they all aren't still around, but whenever I still see JB11 I think it is, I always remember them in their hey day.

It's funny how much things change, I remember when I flew with the 13TAS P51 guys for a while, the 412th Braunco Mustangs were another P51 squad where I knew a lot of guys. I don't know any of the new ones, even when I was speaking with their CO or XO recently, about how the squad got its name (the original CO's father had a boat called Braunco), they had no idea about any of that.  It's hard to remember some times just how long this game has lasted, and how much has changed over the years.  Hopefully in another 15 years somebody will be saying the same thing about all the squads playing now.

They also have some old links to other squads from the mid 90's AW timeframe:  http://www.cutthroats.com/osquads.html

I almost put in a request to join the Cutthroats in AW right before I discovered the JRs.

Thanks I'll include CMC.   Can't find a website for the 4th FG.   Who's the CO?   

I did find this very nice webpage for the Loose Cannon Association though:

http://david.tenifer.com/aceshigh/

A squad of both people AND other squads.   Pretty interesting;  not a pure FG or BG, but sort of a composite group like the Air Commandos in the Far East.   Great webpage; very modern and clean layout.

Wish AH webpage still had a search function to list all the squads and their webpages.  I can only find the function that allows you to look up a player's squad...

I remember the NAZGUL!  And Karaya, too.   Sorry to hear about the languishing of your squad.   Maybe they'll come back with AH3 comes out?   What's your game ID?   Do you have a website?

I to dig this one up from the book "Warbirds - history so far"

Krod gave it to me at a EuroCon, many years ago.

Good stuff Oboe.  I am unsure when Daff started the 56th in WBs, but definitely before 2000.  Maybe Save can say?  When I started WBs in 1998, the 56th was active there.
