Nazgul is an old one and is the best Squadron out there, IMO.

There is ALOT that goes into making a squad "Notable" "Time Honored" and "Exceptional". Score would be for me right near the bottom of the list.

People make the squad. People and Squads make AH. Each person decides how they will carry themselves in this game. Each person decides how they will be viewed (insert online persona / ingame person). And each that are in a squad will either shine a good light on thier squaddies or bad.

Squads that last and become well known usually have some seriously good sticks that are fairly quiet or have some really good sticks that are loudmouthed arrogant jerks and don't mind showing it.

BK's are about as nice a bunch as I have flown with that back in thier hayday....could flat get busy killing and were for the most part pretty quiet about it.

Grims Reapers , formally USMC or USMC now or whatever they are now , are some base taking fighting fools. They could TAKE some bases and get busy in thier own right.

FreeBirds were much like USMC , and if memory serves , had quite a battle going on for who could do better at land grabbin. USMC or them.

AoM....hmmmm....well...they used to be quiet killers.....but that has changed over the years. Nuff said.

Nazgul....Great squad.

WM's great squad.

Damage Inc. (aka) who is btw one of the BEST guys to fly with...

AK's , JB's , Dynamite Gang , The FEW , Hells Angels , BoP's , VF31 , 56th , 99th ASTAG , 80th FS , M.A.W. , CH's , 68th , 69th , and many more are all IMHO not only Notable , time honored and exception but a pleasure to fight with and against.

My Squadron is IMHO again , the best. I'm C.O. and partial yes but the people I have the pleasure to fly with whenever I log on make the game and my time online the best it can be. We interact not to win the war perse' but to have fun. To laugh , joke and generally give of ourselves for the squad.

It's not about 1 person in 71 sqd. Its about all of us. When someone is haveing a personal problem , they know they can bring it to us as a freind in need and not just a squaddie. Real life happens in 71sqd. ANd EACH of us makes it a whole. Each of us has things to contibute no matter how big or small.

THESE are things that makes squads notable , time honored and exceptional. IMHO of course.

All in all I think everyone here that is speaking for there squad. or group. Can say that they enjoy flying in Aces High II. And also enjoy having a great squad. or group of guys & gals to fly with them. I fly with alot of these pilots from different squads. & groups. And most of the time I have a enjoyable air battle with them or against them.

< Salute > to all !

Almost loaded that up just for the memories.

I do remember the Damned on AOL AW as mostly trainers. The WidowMakers were made up of mostly AOL employees and took great delight in hunting down the Durned ones. I recall many a' night typing "here lizard, lizard, lizard" hunting Rodan.

Good time... Good times....

yes Kraits did it/started it - thinking it was Spiff or 1 of em in charge, Vulch maybe also. ( Flossy's Husband or Son I think had a hand in it also , perhaps )

One of my favorite squads is Sehob.

Granted it's a really tiny squad but is notable.

The Flying Circus one of the first 20 or so formed in Aces Highs' first year.

Vati started us with the name Sturmjager. We were asked many times if we were a Luftwaffe squad. We flew a mix of birds so we thought it best to name the squad TFC. Clowns, little volkswagens, floppy feet and the works.

Five or 6 of us have been around since the games inception still in the squad.

Lot's of us old AWs' also.

Fidd did the Scenario Aircraft Converter with all the skins. It was another KRAIT who did the terrains.

Can't think of the name at the moment.

VF31 Tomcatters, 323 Deathrattlers, The Diamond Backs, Blind Bats, Steel Rain, Gruppe Outlaws, SOAR, 68s, CHs, FBs, BoPs, +precision, LTAR, Pigs on the Wing, Six String Samurai, Wild Eyed Southern Boys, JBs, and of course the AArch AAngelz 187th. I am sure I overlooked some worthy squads, no offense intended.

Thank you to AAolds & RedTop on behalf of the VF-31 Tomcatters <<>>

I think there are alot of great squads out there that I am honored to fly w/ & fight against.

I would never go by who is in the Top 25 to see who is better and who is not, as I believe it's the respect you show others that makes you a great squad.

The fighter rank & taking bases can be a plus; but they are not by any means the reason I have respect for certain squads.

This is not in order of which squads I respect just squads I can think off the top of my head as being everything I can only hope the VF-31 can become.

My list:

332nd, 68th, VMF-251, VMF-214, VOF-1, 71 Sqd. RAF, 31st FG, Dynamite Gang, AK's, AA's, Aces & 8's, 323, Raw Prawns, The UNFORGIVEN, 173rd Guardian Angels, Lentolaivue 34, 332nd, Black Adders, Hellcat FG...

ack-ack

Yep, I remember the 479th from way way back... Murder, AkaK, Crims are all great guys and will show you a thing or two and used to always offer suggestions. There are a bunch more but brain cell kill due to alcohol abuse leaves my mind kinda fuzzy at the moment. Wanna know how to really fly a 38, ask them guys!

All the Best...
