108th vFighter Squadron The Spectres | |
“My spectre follows thee behind.” | |
Flying the legendary F14-B Tomcat, the Spectres are the Wing’s first genuine multi-crew squadron. The dream became reality when Heatblur released this iconic aircraft, and the 108th Spectres were formed in July 2019. The Squadron consists of two sub-squadrons: the 108th Pilots and the 108th RIOs – both with individual training programs. Trainees choose either role and, after successfully Mission Qualification in one of the two arcs, a 108th pilot can then pursue training as RIO - or vice versa - if they so wish. The Spectres are a multirole squadron, with a focus on (but not restricted to) carrier operations, flying Air-to Air, as well as Air-to-Ground missions, for the 132nd Virtual Wing. My Spectre Around Me by William Blake My spectre around me night and day Like a wild beast guards my way. My emanation far within Weeps incessantly for my sin. A fathomless and boundless deep, There we wander, there we weep; On the hungry craving wind My spectre follows thee behind. He scents thy footsteps in the snow, Wheresoever thou dost go Through the wintry hail and rain. When wilt thou return again? Dost thou not in pride and scorn Fill with tempests all my morn, And with jealousies and fears Fill my pleasant nights with tears? Seven of my sweet loves thy knife Has bereaved of their life. Their marble tombs I built with tears And with cold and shuddering fears. Seven more loves weep night and day Round the tombs where my loves lay, And seven more loves attend each night Around my couch with torches bright. And seven more loves in my bed Crown with wine my mournful head, Pitying and forgiving all Thy transgressions, great and small. | |

They were also responsible for bringing the dead to Valhalla, the afterlife hall of slain warriors. The Valkyries’ motto “Mala Ipsa Nova” translates to “Bad News Itself” in Latin. | |

696th vRotary Squadron The Turnskins | |
“Strength of the Pack” | |
696th Rotary Squadron is one of the wing's two founding squadrons, and is the primary rotary wing squadron of 132nd Virtual Wing. The 696th operates the Ka-50 Black Shark. The squadron designation, name and logo come from the early days of the Ka-50's employment in the Russian aviation forces in the 80s and 90s. Several prototype versions of the Ka-50, then nicknamed "The Werewolf", were operated by the 696th Squadron of the 344th Army Aviation Centre in Torzhok, Russia. The squadron logo is taken from a tailfin decor from one of these prototype models. The 696th squadron motto is based on a quote from Rudyard Kipling: "For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack." It reflects the intended doctrine for the Ka-50 where one envisioned them hunting in packs like wolves. | |
