Top ten oldest squads in Aces High?
« on: February 11, 2015, 05:32:48 PM »
Being a sometimes history buff, I got curious about old squads in AH.   Starting with info from the "Happy Anniversary" thread to the Musketeers, and some digging on my own, I have a start:

- The Gunfighters (late 80s)
- The Musketeers (1990)  www.musketeers.org
- The Freebirds (1992) www.ah-freebirds.com
- The Damned (1988) http://www.damnedsquadron.com/
- The Screaming Blue Messiahs
- Pigs On The Wing (2003) http://www.wherethepigsfly.org/
- Arabian Knights (2000?)   http://arabian-knights.org
- The Blue Knights
- The Muppets (2000?)  http://bbs.dasmuppets.com/

The 412th "Braunco Mustangs" were started April 12th, 2001. Clearly not the oldest, but even after a name change to the 412th Friday Night Volunteer Group, were still kicking. <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Our squadron history officially begins in 1992 with the formation of the first squadron in Red Baron (online - Sierra Network).  The first members were hanging around other simulations together long before that time, however.

80th only goes back to 2006, although the origins can be traced back to the Nomads squadron in Airwarrior which was 96.

The Flying Circus one of the earliest squads in AH.  Started early 2000.  As a matter of fact Ripsnort interviewed leaders of the earlier squadrons in game.

Vati our Co was interviewed at that time.  We basically were a group of guys who left AW early and formed up with some gents that

were in game a few months before we were.  (Beta)
