Aces High Squad Timeline

[morfiend]

I don’t see the 332nd Daddog’s old squad and JG11 stampf's old squad.

I'll add it in the next version of the timeline chart.   I'll also go through the current squad listing and try 'graying out' the emblems for squadrons which are no longer in the active squad listing...

EDIT:

Here's the latest, with defunct squads greyed out.  I feared the damage would actually be worse.  Some 870 people belong to active squads, according to the home page's squad list totals.

(Image removed from quote.)

The 412th is not defunct they are an FSO Only squadron. I still get updates and mission plans from Nef.
Also The Flying Circus is way older, I think they go back to 88.

Also Does any one have a link to the memorial page for AW/AH players who passed? (Edit: I found it .... the Forum search function sure does suck only gave me search results from 2000-04)

Thanks for the info guys. 

The 332nd Flying Mongrels are not listed in active squads, so they are greyed out.  Their start date was 1997.  I've re-activated the 412th (thank you), moved the Flying Circus' start date and added the Claim Jumpers, the Fightin' 49ers, & JG 11, though not sure I have correct start dates for them.   Has anyone got a correct start date for the Flying Circus?  I think when I orginally made this, they had a website with a history, but I cannot verify.  I updated some squad emblems from Arlo's squad pages - The Avengers, the Unforgiven, & 99th ASTAG have a new look.  Could not find a decent quality logo for the original Flying Circus so that has been updated to a new look, at least temporarily.   



Some other squads I'd like info on include Elite, 325th Checkertails, and Aces and 8s...

There was a Flying Circus listed in old scores from 88 in Air Warrior. I posted a link to the pdf that had some of those scores .... it was hosted by the Muskies but they went dark a few years ago so DoK Gonzo is hosting them now.

What I do not know is if the AH Flying Circus is the same as the AW Flying circus. Most of the original early Air Warrior Squadrons where formed within a few months of each other after Air Warrior went live on GEnie. I didn't get involved until 1992.

It's likely there was some connection between the AW and AH groups.  I think it looks good in '88, and we have plenty of other online squads listed that were formed before AH was released.  Just wish I could get a nice hi-res original logo for them.

Thanks for your help keeping this doc accurate, gents.  Appreciate it.  I'd like more information on the top 25 squads if anyone's got some.  Especially sorry to see the demise of the Mongrels, Musketeers and the Flying Tigers AVG...

Elite Squadron formed in 1997 in MS Fighter Ace and merged with USMC_Leathernecks and _Savage_ for the migration to Aces High in August, 2010.

Let me know if you need me to send our logo.

Thanks for doing this Oboe.

Nopoop I'm glad to learn reports of your squad's death have been greatly exaggerated!   Not sure how it happened, but the Blue Knights row some how didn't get included in my spreadsheet.  I'll of course return your squad to active duty with all possible haste!   

<S> Simon, my pleasure.  Grabbed your squad's logo from Arlo's website...

Sometimes there's even 2.5 of us.

Blue Knights returned to active.



With the spreadsheet problem fixed, 46 squads have 6+ members.  891 total players are members of squads.  I have combined squads that appeared to have similar names or roots, for example the 3 Claim Jumpers squads, or the 2 Sick Puppies into a single squad.  I still need and would like to have more background info (start date, squad emblem/logo) for the squads listed in red.

TA57x is the CO of TA's Aerofighters and by extension TA's murder of crows Inc, i will try to get in touch with him too see when the squad was exactly created but i believe around 2005 era.

Is there a way to find the squadron insignia on the squads page?

[Nefarious]

412th is active in SEA 1.

Thanks, TryHard.  The squads page is just a text listing of the squads - no graphics are included.  I can get a 64x64 bmp from the Squad folder in AH installation folders, but that is too small to be useful.  I like at least 100x100 px image.  If they ever made a squad webpage, they might have a large version.

Nefarious, thanks for the info - I've re-activated the 412th on the timeline.

Is the Cutthroat Mercenary (CMC) Squad active? Did they even make it over from Air Warrior?
