Jagdstaffel Tollwuetige Hunden
(The Aerobat Squadron)
The Ayes Cross was adopted in '96 as the squadron emblem. Featuring four aircraft nose-to-nose and with overlapping wings, it symbolizes the strategic maneuver made famous by the baron himself: when in doubt, head in all directions at once! The Ayes Cross has been coveted by aviators since its inception, but it is awarded only to those who dare to fly with the baron twice. Such courage deserves the special recognition this emblem represents.

The Ayes Cross
Le Menage a Trois
Liaison d' Lafayette Escargot
One of the few with the courage to fly with the Dread Baron twice. Gato has seen action over Viejas on more than one occasion. Having lost his windscreen during a hostile engagement, Gato still managed to bring his disabled craft back to the airfield without further incident. A wing commander in his own right, Gato and Dread alternate as wingman on their misadventures.
Henry "Legs" Loughman
Decorations & Distinctions:
L'Order d'Emetic avec Projequetil
Henry joined the squadron in the bitter winter of '94. Formerly a regimental cook, he is credited with 5 enemy kills--all German roaches--which makes him the squadron's first ace.

Formerly with the Lost Lunch regiment, Sarah joined the squadron "to forget," but couldn't remember what it was she wanted to forget.

Third member of the squadron. Deidre thought she was joining a health club for aerobics.
