Title: hate to say it but..
Post by: 321BAR on December 22, 2011, 08:00:43 AM
As of today, the 20th FG Loco Busters will be disbanding.. Wish this day wouldnt come but it has. The lack of flying not only from me but for many of the remaining members has left it to come to this. And we almost made two years too! :lol

It's been a fun run and we've had a blast guys. From the times where 12-16 of us would be on perch over the 91st (ask wildcat about the infamous A9 raid :lol ) and the Dickweeds to the insane dweeb style raids in stukas to flying head on over our heads against many enemies and somehow making it out alive again and again.

and that oh so nutty squeak we all know and love Eric16 (mariah carey) too :P

A BIG <S> to everyone we flew with also :aok without the MA's support we never would have been such a wonderful group



A select few of us are reserving the 20th name for the day we can rebuild months/years down the road. hope we can do it soon. <S> all

I know what you mean, BAR. It was an absolute blast having you guys escort our B17's (and occasionally fly against us :cool:). I'm still looking to get back in the game after the new year at some point. Just haven't had a lot of time, bills are high, pay sucks, etc.. you know.. :frown:

Will miss you guys. <<S>>

I'm letting the cat out of the bag here...... simply because this thread is about squads.

I've never had an actual interest in them myself...mostly because I can never be here at scheduled times...but..I have been hanging on to a most killer squad name since I got here years ago..and I always wanted to register it...but never bothered looking into how to do so.

so.....for anyone forming a new squad......I give you the coolest.....most hip-o-matic squad name ever to grace the skies.....


   433rd BuzKill

it just seems like a natural..of course choose whatever number you want..but buzkill works so well...on so many levels.

that....and yesterday I saw someone here who called himself that....and it pissed me off.  ;)

Not sure I understand why the squad is going away.  From reading through the posts a few members still exists .  I don't think it helps to disband.  The 113th Lucky Strikes has been here for 10 years.   We have had our up and down cycles like everyone.  We changed CO's a few times along the way.   There are times when it was down to just two active members.  We only fly as a squad once a week and understand that real life comes first.  That said  we are building up and welcome all to come fly with the 113th, we only fly as Knights in the late war arena, we fly all the P38's in fighter or attack mode, we welcome any and everyone to come wing up for a flight or two, perhaps an hour or evening of fun.   Vox 113, Saturday evening 7:00PM EST.

im rarely online, our XO is inactive, another player is now going into A/C engineering for college, two others dont make it online, another is having monetary issues and dealing with real life, two others play whenever they can but also do not play actively, the rest of the list are inactive/old accounts.

and melvin doesnt get it that the 20th is gone but we're trying to reserve the name for a later date months or years down the road to bring it back. all our members agree that the squad's done. i know of at least one player from the actives now trying the solo road. im figuring out what to do myself.

I was under the impression that a few of you would be flying in 20th FG uniform. This lead me to believe that you were suffering from nothing more than retention issues.

I see now that the 20th FG has been stricken from the AH Squad roster. This is the sign of disbanding.

Good luck in future endeavors, I'm sure you'll be back at strength some day.

Kinda similar to me being the 3 things all women want, I'm smart and handsome.
