The "Yoxford Boys" were the 357th Fighter GROUP made up of the 362nd, 363rd and 364th Fighter Squadrons, 8th AF.
The 357th Fighter Squadron was part of the 355th Fighter Group, also part of the 8th AF. The 357th FS historically were known as the Dragons. The Green Dragons were a B25 outfit in the Pacific btw.
It is possible to have a 357th Squadron and a 357th Group.
So instead of all the pissing and moaning about who got there first, play nice, and realize you aren't claiming to be the same thing.
Could be right up there with the dumbest, uninformed arguments seen here yet :)

Unfortunately the Death Dragons aren't seeing this fact. Hopefully, the Yoxford Boys don't change their name AT ALL.

Well these would be the 357th FG Yoxford Boys. Very distinctive colors on their 51s.

And in this image the 357th Fighter Squadron "dragon" would be the Mustang with the OS squadron codes for the 357th.

Everyone can have their own little bit of 357th that references completely different Fighter Groups, and histories as well as plane markings. Wasn't that easy? :)

Now those green 51s are awesome someone skin it please :D
-
No we didnt change our name. We are still the 357th Yoxford Boys. We finally got things cooled down between the 2 squads. :aok

This B/C was accepted a while back. It just needs to be put into the top 15.

Just to throw water on the 357th v 357th threads
Seems like a waste of good water. I was with the 355th FW from 1983 to 1992 and was in all three A-10 squadrons at one time or other. 357th Dragons, 358th Lobos, and 333rd Lancers. I really hate see real unit names get bastardized to sound squeaker cool like 357th Death Dragons. But it's a game and to each his own. However my take is the historic squadron or group names all have a proud history and it would be cool if folks were respectful of the history and name of these units. Then again I'm an old fart. :D

CorkyJr is his in-game name.

Again your sister and I were just laughing at your home movies of you playing dress up in her clothes. Get a sense humor!
You're an example of what happens when a squeaker doesn't get the proper adult supervision.

in the first pic.....413334..the top pony. it doesn't have the dorsal fin leading into the vertical stab. is that just a mistake in the drawing? i was just wondering, as i thought that dorsal was added when they removed the turtledeck for the bubble canopy?

It was added when it became apparant that it was needed, but that was some time after the intial deployment of the D model. I forget what -# it was which added it... and I am too lazy to go look it up. :)

what happened to the days of wooden spoons :( :cry
mom used to use the wooden ping pong paddles on us.
i got this idea one day when school was closed for snow(back then it took a couple feet of snow for em to do that)...but anyway, i took the paddles down to the basement, got my grandpop's auger, and made "lightening" holes......very small, very un-noticable......right at the point where the paddle meets the handle.
the very next time i earned a spanking(it didn't take long...i was a poop stirrer), mom broke the paddle on my ass. it didn't take much of a hit.....but she never realized that i did that.
she also never spanked either me or my brother again....it scared the crap outta her. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

dayum!!
i didn't expect anythign that fast!!!
thank ya sir! i thought they had already studied, and knew it was going to be necessary, and that any bubble canopy model had that.
i like noticing little things like that.....and learning about em. :aok

P-51D-5 didn't have the additional part of the vertical fin when they were produced initially. It was retrofitted to many D-5's later to help with stability. I believe it was standard on 51D's after the D-5. It was also added to many B/C models that were still in use at the time.

The same issue was cured the same method when the razorback 47s were redesigned with the bubble canopy. There was a vast loss of lateral stability that was fixed with the added apendage. They were retrofitted to the earlier bubble canopy 47s in the field.
