I took the top ideas that appeared to have the most support and put them up for a vote. I'll leave this up for a good amount of time to make sure we've got plenty of opportunity to get votes in.

Fun fact: Did you know a group of Mosquito' is known as both a Swarm and a " Scourge" of Mosquito'? Personally I am fond of Skywatch, but for my two-cents on a name change for our Air-Division: " Scourge Flight(or Squadron)" Could be catchy to... Scourge Flight Lead, Scourge Wing 1! Scourge Wing 2! Scourge Wing 3! so on etc through the entire squad... certainly cooler then Charlie(or Delta) 1-12 Valkyries doesn't work... no woman in the Air-Division!  Oversight isn't edgy enough... |

I don't know about you but I think my mossy is a woman. A sexy woman. I love to be inside her as she decides which enemy soldiers live or die.

How about Pale Riders, like the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Then call signs could be Death 1, Death 2, etc

Going to leave this up for another week at least. If you see air squad guys on, remind them to put in their vote.

Can we adjust it to Valkyrie Squadron rather than Valkyries.

Can't edit the poll, but yes.

Alright there hasn't been any activity here in a week or more; We're going to go to Friday on this vote and then wrap it up.

I'm disinclined to exclude members of the outfit leadership from the vote - if they have an opinion on the matter I think they have a right to indicate it. My own vote is being held as a tie-breaker if needed.
7 of 17 pilots have voted after nearly a month. The only two non-leader voters who aren't listed as current squadron members are Tarz and Tsilver (both of whom are pretty active outfit members). I'm not certain I'm opposed to them offering input this late in the process, but I'll keep an eye on it Snoggy - if a sampling problem develops in the next few days, we'll take some corrective measures.

Oops! Didn't read the members only bit. Removed my vote accordingly.
That being said my 2 cents instead of a vote.
Valkyries does sound a bit awkward. Makes me think of an air transport group, or airborne infantry. Not a strike group of any kind. Perhaps that is misinterpretation on my part, but my understanding is that as a whole the air wing is more strike than transport oriented.

Voting closed. When my browser starts parsing the boards properly again I'll double-check the final results, but it looks like we'll be keeping the Skywatch name for now.
If the interest in adopting a new name comes up again in the future, we'll revisit the issue.
