Ace Combat - 173rd Fighter Squadron 'Falke', North Osea Air National Guard MiG-29A [OUTDATED]

With the conclusion of the Belkan War, Osea and its Allies were left with an overabundance of captured fighters from the defeated Belkan Air Force. Following the Sale of Many squadrons of Mig-21 and Flanker series aircraft to Oseas neighbor Ustio, the OADF was left in a peculiar situation, having over forty Mig-29 Fulcrums with no buyer or need for the aircraft. The answer came from North Oseas military Governor, Lieutenant General Nathan Ozawa.

It was under his recommendation that a new Fighter Wing be hosted in North Osea for the future security of the reason, using existing resources available. On December 8th 1997 the 177th Fighter Wing was formally established with two squadrons, the 173rd Fighter Squadron “Falke” flying the 28 MiG-29A fighters, and 96th Fighter Squadron “Adler” flying the dozen more advanced MiG-29G fighters.



Falke would prove to be instrumental nearly a decade later during the Circum Pacific War, 173rd pilots helped secure the airspace around key facilities in northern Osea against Yuktobanian Air raids, however some controversy would come about when key figures within the 177th Fighter Wing would be implicated during the 'Grey Man' trials that followed the war.

Today, the 173rd is reaching the Twilight of its existence, between more of their Belkan Surplus timing out, or the few spare aircraft they have received from their sister squadron Adler, many in the 173rd know that their days are numbered flying their beloved aircraft.
