The Lafayette Escadrille is going to help make your Christmas Wish come true!

Are you a newer player? Not been approached by any squadrons about joining or have perhaps dreamed of joining one of the powerhouse squadrons but don't think you have a chance??

Well in a gesture of giving, the acclaimed Lafayette Escadrille is going to give TWO young pilots a chance to be members of our little family of deadly killers!!

All you need to do is let us know here or by submitting a join request in game and we will randomly choose 2 pilots to join us!

The ONLY requirements are that you are not a current member of another squadron and your request is not from a second account (or third or fourth, etc.) and that you are a Group Captain or above in rank (which you can accomplish by doing JUST the Practice Missions without ever having even flown in multiplayer!)

Merry Christmas from the Lafayette Escadrille!!

Awesome idea ZebraUp!

This age discrimination against us older players (not that id wanna join lol) why do you need to be young as an older player may have more patience and be more able and understanding than any younger person any day

Gotta second the Skipper here about this being a great idea. It's nice to see a great squad attracting new folks and training them. That's how it used to be and new players benefited greatly.

Cheers to you Zebra!

Merry Christmas

Dognamitt, the "young" I use is not reference to physical age but rather to time spent playing the game..

And yeah TexasLawman, Lafayette has a proven track record of turning pilots once considered problems into respected and feared opponents..

And thanks for all the positive comments y'all! Pass the word to newer players you see in the game!!

Not so fast, Jerry! I was just about to use you as a classic example of an unreformed member of LE!

Thank you for your interest in the Lafayette Escadrille stealthis13.. we will keep an eye out for you while playing in order to see if you're a good fit for our squadron. You'll need to rank up a bit, but that happens quickly enough.. and the best tip I can give to you is to be patient.. if you've read our 1st post on page 1 of our squadron thread that will help you to understand.
We're always keeping an eye out for up & coming pilots!

thank you so much for getting back to me so soon. I really appreciate it. And I do realize that I am fairly new to this but you will see, in time, that I am enthusiastic and eager to be one of the best. Thanks again.
