ACES UK - SQUADRONS

Although Squadron names are primarily just for fun, some competitions use Squadron names for scoring and "End of Season" calculations. ACES UK allows a squadron to be formed with a minimum of two pilots. Where a pilot flies without other sqdn members, he/she will automatically be placed into 111 Squadron, along with any other such pilot(s). Also, to be registered as a Squadron member (ie ACES UK pilot), you must have flown in a sanctioned ACES UK competition or meeting.

Below is given some of the current active squadrons.
