Since you are reading this, we can assume that you have an interest in learning more about the AFJ. Please read the following and learn who and what the AFJ are.
The Allied Fighter Jocks are an online group of friends who have a mutual interest in online gaming, especially flying WWII era war planes. We are committed to fun, teamwork, honor, and building a strong unit with a foundation of uncompromising skill and intergrity.
Back in 1998, Janes Combat Flight Simulators released World War II Fighters. This game was based on English, North American, and German planes that fought in the European Theater from 1944 through 1945. Being one of the first flying simulators with a very strong online component, Janes Combat Net soon gathered a very large amount of people from all over the world. Very shortly after this, the individual players started the Squadrons, and where there are teams, there will be competition.
The first organized competition for WW2 Fighters was the All out War, idealized by my old friend Yossarian. All out War was a dogfight-based competition for Squadrons. No individual pilots were allowed to compete by themselves, which necessitated team skill.
Four pilots, four friends, Regor, Warpviper, Knothead and Pistnbroke, decided to create their own squad to compete in AOW.
They created the Allied Fighter Jocks!
Eight squadrons competed in the first AOW. They were the AFJ, 222, 365th, JG26, 663rd, 64th, ACS, and JG2. Right from the beginning, the AFJ showed how teamwork and camaraderie paid off by winning the first round of AOW. We continued to win every round we competed in, for a total of 9 out of 10 rounds.
For three years pilots have come and gone, rotating through tours of duty, but the AFJs skill level has remained among the highest in the JCN.
Many pilots have contributed to the success of the AFJ, too many to list. But the AFJs tactics and teamwork can be traced back to two AFJ legends, Knothead and Warpviper. Knothead, in my opinion was one of the best of the best that ever flew a flight simulator. He, and his wingman Warpviper, perfected the art of boom and zoom flying. Their perfect teamwork and tactics made them two of the most feared pilots in JCN. Their tactics and teamwork has been passed down throughout the years. This has created the foundation of the AFJs flying style and created other JCN legends such as T.Rex, Rhinox, Hughj, Mastiff, RedDeth and Taz, all of which have helped create the aura of an almost unbeatable squadron with their success in AOWs. As long as Janes WW2 fighters lives, the AFJ will fight hard to rule the sky. To see all of the AOW statistics please visit our War Stats section of the web page.

In 2001 a new combat based flight simulator hit the shelves called IL2 Sturmovik from 1C Maddox and Ubisoft, based on the Eastern Front of WWII. German and Soviet air forces go head to head in the skies of Eastern Europe. IL2 was a new challenge for the AFJ. Many pilots jumped right into IL2, where as some stayed behind in Janes WW2 Fighters. The AFJ IL-2 members took their combat experience and applied it to this new arena, turning their efforts into two Air Dominance Competition victories.
The following are the principles, which the AFJ is founded:
Our main goal is to have fun, doing with friends what we all love to do: fly and fight online simulators.
We will not forget the AFJ past, so it is imperative for us to invite only pilots that fulfill the AFJ standards:
- Above average flying skill.
- A gentlemanly attitude of chivalry and fair play in the matches we compete and practice.
- A good sense of humor and friendship.
- And above all, be able to have fun!
