Howdy,
I am currently a pilot in VFA-14, the Tophatters. The US Navy's oldest active squadron. I have never played any sort of online flight simulation, short of what we do in our sims, so I'm not really too sure how this all works. But I would like the offer for a connection with a real world squadron, and one that is known for being one of the most skilled and professional squadrons in the world. Currently we are flying the Superhornet(Echo's), but we have flown a littany of aircraft including the Tomcat and the Phantom.
Anyhow, if forming a VFA(of VF)-14 squadron interests you then just reply to this. We will be able to answer any questions real-time(unclassified, of course) and hopefully add a little more legitimacy towards what you guys are doing. We also have a ton of Tophatter stuff, and are always going to airshows, deploying, etc.
