The 77th FS "Gamblers" is recruiting!
We're looking for bomber, attack, and ground vehicle folks. If you are a great fighter player, that's icing on the cake.
Requirements:
1) 18 years old or older
2) On a full monthly subscription
3) Doesn't mind flying exclusively knights
(we have an alliance with 17 other knight squads)
We are also an all adult squad. Average age is about 26.
The squad flys the original colors of the real life squad 77th FS “Gamblers” that fought in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and both Gulf Wars, and serves in the Middle East today. We honor the men and women who served and gave their lives for our freedom, and it is an honor for us cartoon pilots to wear that patch.
In WWII the squad flew mainly P-51s, P-38’s in the European Theatre of Operations. The squad uses the 77th's Official emblem as it's in-game nose-art.
One great thing about our squad is when you see three or four of them or more on at the same time you can pretty much assume they are doing something TOGETHER. “Gamblers” realize that wingman tactics and teamwork DO WORK. They also use sound & proven military tactics like the element of surprise, pincer and flanking maneuvers, and bringing overwhelming numbers to bear on a perticular target.
We have no rules about flying any perticular plane and squad members take up their own weapon of choice.
We have a regular Squad Night, our own private squad forum on this site, our own website, and our own private forum on that website as well. We have regular newsletters and are a proud member of the Knight’s Alliance.
Members who wish can get mission leadership training. There is a structured base taking formula that we use that has a 95% success rate, and we use it extensively. Every member who wishes learns this formula and then uses it in Main Arena to run missions. Members who were previously apprehensive about leading missions before are now leading missions and meeting objectives with confidence!
Squad Wings include: Missions Wing, Bomber Wing, and Strategic Operations Wing
We are a "family", and squaddies are like brothers.
If this sounds good to you, contact Stage1, Digr1, Dougall, or ROX in-game, or send a Private Message.
We are ranked amongst the top bomber squads in the game and could use some more bomber folks! Score is not an issue in this squad, and folks who like a brotherhood of teamwork will fit in just fine with us.

One of my friends PM'd you the other day (Caddie) and we would like to talk to you in game if possible. Could you give me the Vox your squad uses? We are interested in joining the squad. We are both from NY and are on most nights. We used to fly Rook and switched to Knights last night. Look foward to talking with you... :salute
