Title: The Red Rippers are forming.
Post by: flatiron1 on December 27, 2009, 07:09:13 PM
The Red Rippers is an Aces High 2 squad that will conduct operations mainly in the Early and Mid War arenas.

The Red Rippers will have no particular mission. country or plane we fly but what we do we will do as a unit. We might take bases, dogfight, GV or conduct naval operations. Our goal is to have fun and improve our ability to be successful in this game. The only rules are to fly in the same country when in an arena (unless decided ahead for training purpose) and to be respectful to all other players. At this time we have no ranks. Leaders will be chosen depending on the situation such as trying a base capture.

 Membership is open to anyone who has an active paid AH2 membership, has a microphone and a joystick, and demonstrates a maturity level of an adult.


To apply go to this link on the Red Rippers forum or PM me thru the Aces High forum.

Our forum will be our primary means of communication when not in the game so check in on a regular basis.

Just so you will know I picked the name The Red Rippers from USN VF-41. I liked the name. Here is a website about them.

Just a little about myself. I have been playing the game since October 2007 and had been with the same squad, 353rd Fighter Group, the entire time. A finer bunch you will not find. I salute them all.

Training program is being implemented. Each member will go thru a evaluation process in fighter, attack, bomber, gv and task group operations. Training will be provided to improve in areas identified.

So if you would like to improve your skills or if you would like to help out some new players give us a try.

Flatiron has a real love for the game and is a good all around player. He has been and continues to be great adviser to myself and the 353rd FG in our operations. Good hunting in the Early and Mid war Red Rippers, you have a solid leader  :cheers:

Looking for some dedicated early and mid war pilots. Currently we are Rooks in Mid War but will may rotate monthly depending on squad consensus. Early war usually depends on numbers.

Also added training video on the secrets of the flakkers.

Rippers have merged with the 337th Black Sheep TFS. Still mainly EW/MW. Just a little more deadly.
