Hiya Reschke!  I actually switched to Rooks last night looking for a CV based squadron.  I must say I'm partial to blue airplanes and don't mind flying CAP one bit.  My brother Lt.Blogs and I do almost everytime we fly.

I currently re-upped with the Skyknights Bomber Group but my real love is carrier-ops.

Let me know the next time you are flying and I'll tag along if you like.  :D

Jeff

Whatever happened to that kraut squad named "Luftjagerkorps"?
They flew the right plane.

We all moved on in separate ways when the thing called real life intervened on the majority of the squadron at about the same time. So now Raub and Kratzer (when he is able to fly) fly with those divas of the dark side FDB's. Most of the other guys went on to other things and only a couple like Tin and myself have stuck with AH. I am not sure what happened to Bear. He had told me he was going to reup his account and join the squadron but I have not seen or heard from him in a while.

If you want to get shot down and crash while taking off from carriers this is the squadron for you. :D

We are still looking pilots and don't have any requirements; aside from wanting to have fun and be a team player. Veteran and newbie's are wanted and needed. If you have any questions please check out our website and take a look at our recruiting page.

You looking for a squadron?
« Reply #22 on: January 04, 2003, 11:05:17 PM »
As the CO of VF-17 I am looking for some members. As members of VF-17 you will fly and die repeatedly and have a blast helping out getting some pesky flies off your wingmen. If you want to be a part of a new squadron in AH let me know and we will get you in on squadron nights with us to see if VF-17 is right for you.

Good Luck in your squadron search!

Salute!

My first squadron in AW was VF-17. It was formed after the first Jolly Roger squadron moved on to WB 2.77. Unfortunately the move to full realism hurt it's membership.

http://members.tripod.com/~ArloG/index-2.html

Then after BigHog discovered EQ (damned online fantasy stuff - lol) .... and Lotel dropped offline for awhile, I found myself a squad of one. After stubbornly flying the Jolly Roger for almost a year in this fashion I accepted a position with the Groverats.

http://www.geocities.com/arlogu3/

 Then AW was sunk by EA and the squad moved on to AH. All but me, that is. My antiquated system couldn't handle the game online (or off for that matter). I eventually migrated on to WB 2.77 and, although I was accepted into the Jolly Rogers there, I was, for the most part, the only member flying 2.77 (everyone else had moved on to WBIII).

http://arlog.tripod.com/

So I flew as the 2.77 "stationkeeper" for awhile but found it hard to justify the cost of unlimited play in 2.77 with no support (and no squadies to fly with). So I cancelled my account.

 After flying RB3D online .... and giving EAW a taste ... I finally managed to get a newer pc and am now giving AH a try. I'm flying, once again, with the Groverats.

http://www.geocities.com/ArloGu3/RatMain.html

 I just thought I'd mention that it's good to see the Jolly Rogers flying in Ace's High. VF-17 will always be my first love and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the air and on the flightdeck. Although I'm a Groverat .... I feel a kindred spirit with anyone flying the Jolly Roger on their Corsair cowling. :D

 Again ... salute!

Nice to hear that Arlo. I found the original AW website for VF-17 a while back and have used pieces of your VF-17 CV Quals for our group and a few of the pictures you had there as well. I tried contacting some of the names on the roster there but had computer troubles and lost the emails.

I have hooked up with the VF-17 guys from Warbirds and will most likely be flying with them in Target: Rabaul once it goes open to the public. Thanks for posting a little insight into the history or VF-17 here and if you want to fly a memory flight with us let me know. My in game ID is the same as the board ID.
