The hardest thing about being in the 71 squad was re-learning "English" again and calling everyone "mate". :D

I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

I was a squad potato before the 71. From AH to AHII I bounced from disbanded squadrons to just not getting along. But the 71 took me in, cleaned me up, showed me how to fly a fighter and get away from bombers for once, and showed me how to swear like a sailor in a whole new language. Good crew and good times.

Bronk has been causing trouble in MW. There has been a noticeable increase in plane parts of all kinds falling to the ground.

One piece off a spit had a bullit lodged in it. Upon removal it was noted this inscription on the side, "With Love Bronk".   :rofl
Do you know how long it takes to inscribe that ammo.... do you?  If I didn't care so much I wouldn't take the time. :D

As you all know krusty and I have our differences on the bbs. Ingame though, the times I have flown in his area.. I've found him to be a fun to fly with, nothing like his bbs persona.

hmm  I enjoyed his pm last night...was enjoyable.

HEY Bronk...

Was a pleasure having you and your welcome anytime. As are most any of the flyers. Come back anytime and we'll look forward to having you.

Thanks for the compliment.

I will never forget being permenantly puzzled when Batfink first warned me to join Major Biggles in the Toilets

<S> to the gents of 71st!

Great bunch of guys to fly with, they take me on squad channel often when I'm alone and it's always good fun.

I just wish batfink would get a mic so that we could yell incoherently at eachother

Now that is a good idea. Although, I think i got muted some time ago, my mic works in windows but not in AH. Not even sure which squakers i shot down to deserve it either.



S! to all friends and foe of 71 sqd.

Rumble, allow me to stand up for my squad. Gianlupo is only taken when BIGGLES is online! All the others are innocent (I think)  :noid
