Had to shout it! Been 4 years this week that docdog and I started the squad in Nov. 1997. :)Certainly with some up’s and down’s, but the fact that we have lasted this long is a tribute to the quality of past and present members.

In those four years members have lost children, parents, and good friends. I have cried with some laughed with some and prayed for many. I have been blessed by them all.

Absolutely, congrats guys.

I was member # 4 after Jim, Al, and Keith (Hudman).

Was a ton of fun then, still is now.

Seems a long time ago when there were just four or five of us, going up against hords of purps in the main arena.

I joined AH in May and was accepted into the 332nd Flying Mongrels squadron in June. I can't imagine a better group of people to fly with. Good to learn some of the history and origins of the squadron and my birthday wishes go out as well.

Congrats!

Wow!! Time flies when you're having fun. I look at the list of present and past members and it's a group of guys who didn't know each other before this squad. All of them I would fly with or enjoy their company anytime. I always look forward to going into any of the arenas anytime and seeing an orange dot flying. I know that one message and we're linked up watching each others six and enjoying the company of one of your fellow squad members. Thanks for all the good times guys. I look forward to many more!
