92nd ARS is what i have on the profile lol but i think that’s the F16 squadron (transitioned from KCs to fighters). any way to dig through archives?

jk – doubt the ARS is a fighter squad, so that holds.

You would’ve used PRIMO/ORCA callsigns then.

Due to a reorganisation of our structure, 92nd ARS was recently disbanded then reformed at Tinker AFB as 465th ARS.

That was way more Orcas and Primos than I’ve ever seen gathered in one spot… in any sim.

Brought a tear To Me Eye.

Thank you, everyone involved.

I’ve been streaming successfully (as far as I know lol) thus far and plan to keep doing so for the rest of the event.

I love it! Thank you so much! Great to see such a great turn out for our IFGAF Event as we say goodbye to such a wonderful plane IRL.
