Why have a squadron that was once really a squadron? And why have only real aces names used?
Yes, it seems that DamnedRen and Squire have failed to see the irony(more likely, flat out sarcasm).
Yeager, I thought that your handle is your real name, so this thread is not directed towards you.
Voss, I didn't even know that you existed. Don't get all excited then and think that this thread was about you because it wasn't. It was directed at ANYONE that uses a real aces name. By the way, who is Voss anyway? I looked up all aces in the American Fighter Aces album and there's no ace with that last name. Is Voss an ace from another country?
As for my handle, I've had that as a nickname for almost 30 years, so I think it's ok that I use it.
As for squadrons being called the "Strawberries" or the "Gay Boys", it's doesn't bother me a bit.
