Aces High Squad Timeline
« on: June 12, 2023, 10:12:08 AM »
Quite a long time ago, I did some research on the oldest squads in Aces High, and produced the timeline chart below.  I think it was probably back in 2015, and my requirement to be included at that time was your squad must be currently active active in AH and have been establish at least ten years prior (hence the 2005 cut off).   



I logged in this morning briefly, and was happy to see players from some of these squads still at it!   I saw players from the Arabian Knights (AKs), Flying Tigers AVG, 99th ASTAG, POTW, Sick Puppies, Gunfighters, DFA, Blue Thunder and the **Regulators**.

So I thought its time to add another ten years worth of squads to the timeline.   Let's go to 2015.   So, if you're in a currently active AH squad that was established before 2015 (or before 2005 and not listed here) let me hear from you.   Post your squad logo here (at least 100x100 px, pls), and your squad start date and I'll add your squad to the chart.  Would be nice if you posted a little bit of your squads background history, too - notable players or founding members, etc - just for posterity.

Also I need to here specifically from the **REGULATORS** and Blue Thunder.  I think you guys probably quality but I can't find a squad logo or webpage for you.

Thanks all!

Proud to say I have flown with 4 of those squads over the years, along with a couple of others that aren't on that list.  :cheers: :airplane: :joystick: I know for certain that list could be so much bigger haha. Really quite a shame that most of these guys have disappeared.  :cry

Why do we can them squads?   In Aviation they are SQUADRONS.

Guilty. I've always thought squadron participation was key.  :)

When did Guppy start the Headhunters?   Difficult to track this squad, as the CO position was usually assigned to the most recent recruit!

I took over the Flying Tigers 135th squad in AW. I think we had about 35-40 members. It pretty much dissolved after migrating to AH, some thought it was sacrilegious to fly another sim/competitor. <shrug> AH1 was exactly the update we waited for and didn't get in AW.

I remember all the squads at the top from way back in AW very well. They have always been serious competition and rivals, as I think they were mostly CZ and my squad was BZ.

Congrats, CAV!  25 yrs is quite an achievement!   I had you guys established in 1991 however?   Can't recall where I learned that - could it be they started in an even earlier sim?

Animl lots of folks here from AW.  I came from Warbirds myself.  Big thanks to HTC for giving us a place to land and feel welcome...
