Title: TFC celebrates 10 yr anniversary
Post by: Hajo on June 15, 2010, 09:57:14 AM
10 years ago a small group of malcontents and miscreants from AW decided to get together in Aces High and form a Squadron.

Vati, our original CO got myself, KrzyHrs (now deceased) EDO, Toggl, Bazi together.
We recruited Shamus, Rob53 Chauncy and Trell and initially called ourselves the Sturmgruppen. That was a mistake...all the luftweenies kept pestering us and asking if we were a LW Squadron.  Since we flew a mix of planes we decided to rename the squad The Flying Circus.  We were one of the earliest squads in the game and were highlighted by Ripsnort on a web page.  Rip interviewed the then squadron COs of the game.  There weren't that many at the time.

I would like to say on behalf of the TFC to HTC and our friendly foes in the sky.
Thanks for making the first ten a blast for a bunch of washed up Geezers!

  (what's unique about this squad is we have no CO,the title is just formality)

I've always enjoyed sharing the laughs on Channel 1 & 200 with you Clowns.   Back when I started in 2002, you had Anton, MrWulf, Dyana and other names no longer seen in game.   I noticed OB-GYN returned as of late and it's still good to have met Shamus and Anton in person.   It cements and galvanizes the friendship.

I truly wish you silly bastages the best of well-wishes.   May your Noses always squeak and your shoes always cause you to stumble.   :rock

What is funny is that I was lured by the dark side and went off to other on-line games.  But seven years later I regained conciousness from a coma and the CH pedals screamed to be used once again.  I downloaded and installed AH once again with an ease beyond that of any other online game I have played, and soon I was online again. 

Now what is funny is that I was back on line for no longer that about 5 minutes when Shamus recognised the nametag and quicker than a noob can auger a 109 I was back in the welcoming arms of a bunch of clowns.  Salute to those who have been on for the full 10 years.  Congrats and salutes to all you diehard sticks out there both friend and foe. :joystick:
