Thanks, Mako <S>.

Looks like there was enough interest so I threw this together for the 325th. Always a work in progress  :grin:

You can get the members from either the members link or the scores/current melee tour link. I still need to confirm the logo Cutt want's to use.

just a thought here, been checking those without squads, and I am talking 8+ pst, most of players without squad are players that have been around without joining a squad.  not saying they dont fly with a squad, just not joined.

Hi SKOzoiine,

Is this the logo art your talking about:

(Image removed from quote.)

Somehow I missed your group back when I put together a timeline of AH's oldest squads:
(Image removed from quote.)

Hello everybody, hoped everyone had a great safe Thanksgiving weekend....

Dang obeo... hard to believe that its been 15+years since you created that time-line for when the squads were established.... time flew by

Arlo, good thread...  as for our squad, I am currently the CO still since I think 2003...after Eggers (Kegger) stepped down and the squad put me there lmao 🤣

Mayhem has returned and has been working hard to bring our group back to more like we were in 2000 through 2009, we will see if we can pull it off

I'm sure we will probably pick up after all the holidays and bs

<S> & cheers

Hi TC,

I have good news for you - I created that timeline in 2015, so only 5 years ago.   Time seems to move faster every year as we get older but at least in this case it isn't so!

I was looking at the older squads in making that chart - 10 years or older - so in 2015, that 10 yr cutoff was 2005.   That is, for a squad to be at least 10 years old in 2015, it had to have started in 2005 or earlier.  So that's why the timeline only goes to 2005.   First time I looked at it again, I had the same reaction as you did though...

Mako - nice job on the 325th website.  Good to see a website for squads again - back in the day there were so many good ones - lots of creativity in design and execution.  Many had their own BBs for intrasquad communication.   

 :salute

There is also an active Skyknights Facebook group.

Ozone, sir,

         I've done a search on FB for your squadron page but, as often happens with searches there, FB gave me a bunch of 'Sky Knight' stuff that did not appear to ne Aces High related. If you have a link for me to follow I'd be more than happy to put it in place of a website link.  :salute :cheers:

Grits was the guy who re-formed the Gunfighters as an AvA squad.  He did a great write-up on the squad's history, I kick myself for not having saved it.  A lot of AW and AH luminaries were in our squad at one time or another.  If HiTech reads this, he'll probably be able to name some of them. 

Possibly Fork has the writeup, he's clever about things.

But there is still MA activity unless I'm mistaken, yes? :)

The MA Gunfighters is a different squad.  AvA squads somehow have always been separate from the other arenas' squads.  Thus we have two different sets of Gunfighters.

Not unless the Devil Dogs on the list are different Devil Dogs with a different Marble as C.O.
