Yep that was fun when JG 2 was huge. I always knew that if 308 flooded an area with Spitfires, a bunch of 109s and 190s would show up.

The old JG2 was guys like Ripsnort, Hblair, Me, Weazel, and about 250 other guys. It was literally like 1/4 of AH at one point (not really, but sure felt like it).

I can remember in beta when far more than 1/2 the Knights on were all in JG2.

Man, those huge formations were tons of fun. I've never seen a formation of 15 109's or 190's since those days.

The "New" JG2 were all exceptional pilots, you guys should get back together.

Yep, them were the "Good Old JG2 days", when folks hated us because we had 76 pilots in 3 squads!

The old Recruitment site:
http://Ripsnort60.tripod.com/JG2inquirer.html (The page was changed to Swager as the CO after I stepped down and formed VMF-323, Weazel was the CO and I the XO before that.) Check out the links, my old newletter (last edition) I used to publish is still linked

And an old pic of a typical week night when JG2 was up.

Yes i remember some of those days. I thought they were awesome. I always wondered what it would be like to fly in that squad. I always thought myself absolite. And here I am, a newb to the squad. It's true tho, i think the old JG2 should get together, at LEAST for a night of serious Luftwaffe piloting. Even if i wasnt part of it at that point id like to see it =) or fly next to it =).

BTW Ely, i see you on the chan alot, and when i log on and see you, a second later you are off the chan, ive tried talkin to ya tho.. never really talked to ya tho, i think its essential for myself to get to know all of ya tho =). well hope to talk to ya, hope it wasnt somthing i did earlier in time that is the blockade

Looks like you drinking Guiness there Laz

Yeah, I guess I meant the 'new' JG 2 when I wrote this post, didn't really realize the history. By some weird stroke of fate I'm in Ripsnorts squad now, had no idea he was CO of the 'old' JG 2.

XtremeJ -- flying rooks these days so off the old JV 44 squad channel, I'll be sure to fly with ya if I get the chance.

Oh yeah, Lazerus is even good when he's drunk these days, glad we pryed his bellybutton outta those bombers

Wasnt it JG2 that quit "en' mass" way back in beta. Something about the FW planes being porked in a vast AH HTC Anti-Euro conspiricy.

Back then it was quite the shock as about half the player base were JG2s
