JG1 was founded in March 1992, as I understand it, about a month after the Wing Walkers. https://jg1.org/richthofen/history/ This means that both squadrons are turning 30 this year! We're looking to do something special for both groups, most visibly within Flying Circus, IL-2: Great Battles, and DCS World. We also want to reconnect with people! If you are a former member of JG1 or the Wing Walkers or just someone from the "old days" who flew with/against us, post below and let us know you're around. As more details are published about planned events, we'll make sure you're kept in the loop. Also, if anyone has any ideas about what type of events or virtual get-togethers we could do, we'd love to hear your thoughts!
