The Ship Commander, Locke, began by saying "Welcome Typhoon Squadron, I have a very special annoucement to make regarding the future of Typhoon Squadron and the Wing. For a long time we have not been at full capacity regarding our squadrons and thusly our effectiveness is degrading. After speaking to Colonel Coranel, Major Stukart and Lt. Flyer, we have devised a plan that will bring more pilots into the wing." A few whispered words came from the assmebled pilots especially some of the ones who had been around for a while, the wing had not been full in a long time and many were wondering when that would happen. Locke cleared his throat to quiet the crowd "The plan is to re-activate a squadron that was de-activated a long time ago....that squadron is Cyclone Squadron"

- Commander Phelan, Cyclone 1-2

It's been a pretty amazing week for Cyclone Squadron, as two huge pieces of news came in early on. First, and most important, I'm happy to call Cyclone the Challenged Squadron of the ISD Challenge, as we are the winners of the Wing X Domination Bonanza! I can't say enough how proud I am of my pilots for their hard work, particularly on the part of Shrike, Phelan, Fink and Enzo. I think that we have proven, in just two short months, that we are the best squadron in the wing. =) The other big piece of news is the Cyclone Squadron is Squadron of the Month! As some may recall, one of my primary goals for Cyclone was to achieve SotM, and I am impressed with how fast we have reached this landmark. We nearly hit another landmark this past week, as I was contacted by a cadet on the Daed about joining the Demolition Crew. Sadly, he chose the mutt instead, putting us one short of my desired 10 pilots. But for now, I believe that being the SotM and the Challenged Squadron is enough, wouldn't you say? =)

- The new Cyclone website layout is complete! Go to http://cyclone.ehnet.org to have a look, if you haven't already. It has a new competitions page, as well as revamped banners. Whoohoo.

- Lt. Phelan has shown the whole initiative thing and started a new runon on the Cyclone message board detailing what happened when our little squadron was reopened. Shrike and I have developed a fun plotline to go along with it describing the recruitment of Fink and how Shrike got his name, among other things. Fun times. ^^

- Reams of medals came in this week to coincide with our big victory in the Wing X competition. Congrats go to me on my four IS-SRs; IS-BW and IS-SW; to Phel on his two ISMs, IS-SR and his two IS-BRs; to Shrike on his IS-SR, two ISMs and IS-BR; to Fink on his three IS-BRs and his IS-SR; and to Enzo on his IS-SR and his IS-BR

- Citations are Cyclone's top priority. :P Fly your citations assignments for the week, and I recommend you for an ISM. It's just that simple. Fly all of them for the month, and I'll talk to Cor about getting you a PC. There were no citations assignments this week (due to my silly error), but congrats to Shrike who managed to grab five more citations for us. He will be rewarded. =P

- Cyclone Squadron is the winner of the Wing X Domination Bonanza! An impressive effort all around as we capture first place in fiction and the FCHG race, the top two spots in graphics and second place in citations. A firm congratulations also goes to Inferno, which gave an incredible competition, and to Tempest for their imrpessive participation. Great job all around!

- Cyclone Squadron is the ISD Challenge Squadron of the Month! Great work, guys!

- Cyclone Squadron has engaged Kappa Squadron! All pilots are ordered to fly TIE-FREE-105 and get the highest possible score. As a fun aside, you can also write a fiction and try to get another medal. I know we can win this. =)

- Wing X meetings are 6:00 EST on Sundays in #wing_x. Join us for amusing trivia and news from around the fleet.

- Wing X is the Flight Office's Own! We flew like 2500 missions in two months. I'm pretty sure that TK and I accounted for 1400 hundred of those. </no life>

- Check the competitions section of this months wing competitions.

- Welcome to VA Maverick, our new Commodore! He's cool. =) Prost was demoted for bad breath. ^^

- Squadron of the Month is Cyclone Squadron (July)

- Go to http://ehtiecorps.org or http://www.emperorshammer.org for the newest fleet news.

- Imperial Storm V
This is is almost over. I think. Yay. =P

- TAC FCHG competition
Frodo is hosting the annual TAC FCHG competition. 'Cloners with mission creation skilled are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and create a six mission battle. Winner takes home an IS-PR. I'm working on my submission right now. =P

- Cyclone Trivia
Each week, I will be sending out a set of trivia questions to the mailing list. Answer as many correctly as you can, win a prize at the end of the month if you answer the most. This competition is temporarily suspended for July for the Wing X Domination Bonanza.

- Cyclone Blogging
Not so much a competition as an ongoing event. Cyclone members are encouraged to maintain a blog on the MB detailing their activity, their thoughts, etc. Coranel apparently likes this idea enough that he's starting his own blog soon. =P

- Kappa vs Cyclone
Participants fly TIE-FREE-105 for a high score and send it to his or her commander, and CC it to the opposing commander. As a fun addendum, they can also write a fiction that would garner them an additional IS-BR. The fics will be judged by Vice Admiral Master. There are no particular topics for the fiction other than it must feature Kappa and Cyclone. The top two out of three scores will be taken for the mission. All entries are due on August 14!

Every week, I select a pilot who's high activity and excellence served as an example for all Cyclone pilots. The selected pilot earns an IS-BR at the end of the month, and their profile is enshrined for the week on the Cyclone Squadron website.

Congratulations to CM. Alexander Shrike, who admirably took the initiative when my citations assignments failed to materialize. =P He managed to gain five more citations while flying several other battles along with the Kappa mission while posting to the runon. Nice job, Alex! The standings for August are Shrike - 1.
