22 "Skyhawks" Squadron
Vox Silentium
22 Squadron began its operational life back in 05 as a very small LAN operation. It had limited resources and thus had a fleet made up nearly entirely of Eurofighters and A-10s. It expanded from them into a larger number of aircraft suited for different roles, such as the Apache, C-130, AC-130, F-14 and others. After 07 it was declared inactive once again.
During the early part of 2008 22 Squadron was restarted with some friends from the International Centre for Aerospace Training in South Wales. Among these were 'Eagle 1', 'Eagle 5', 'Dragon 7', 'Dragon 8', 'Dragon 9' and 'Dragon 11'. The origional fleet was also redone with common aircraft, the F-15C Eagle and the Mk IX Spitfire. Each member got a individual paint for the aircraft with their individual colour and individual logos.
NB: All Pilot Officers have been demoted to Acting Pilot Officers untill basic training has been passed.
Eagle 1 was the squadron founder back in 05. He also produced both fleets and is Flight Leader.
His original combat role is Attacker and Strategic Airlift and Evac. He can most commonly be found either behind the stick of his Gazelle Helicopter or in either a BAC Lightning or a Spitfire.
Eagle 5 was the second squadron member. Due to his 2 years of extra service his current rank is "Squadron Leader"
Ddevil started out Squadron life as an Airborne Division Ranger, but when the squadron reactivated became a pilot.
Chesh also started his Squadron life as a ranger. This time though he was a fireteam spotter. His sniper, Dragon 10, didnt transfer to 22 Sqn, so its just D8.
Dragon 9 was the second pilot to join the ranks of 22 Squadron when it was reactivated, after Dragon 7. He is still learning the ropes and basic flight.
Dragon 11 is currently MIA after an op in 2009.
