Capt Glen Troster (an F-111 pilot in the 523TFS) started the team (not sure of the year). Bill Leake got there in 89 and started playing and coaching with him. Glen got orders to go fly the OV-10 and was handing the team off to Bill when both Glen and Mike Barrett, his WSO, were killed in a training accident. Bill ended up taking over the team 4 months earlier than planned. They could not keep enough players and the team folded around 1991.



Other remembered team members include Amn Marth Buell
