My fellow pilot's we are gathered here to day, to pay tribute to the Fleet known as IBG (Intrepid Battle Group)
As you may have heard towards the end of this month the IBG & Rgf will be merged into a new fleet known
As the VSG (Vigilance Starfighter Group), so this newsletter I write to you is officially the last IBG news letter ever!
I am sure this merger will be one heck of a journey and I hope to see you all in the VSG (wink)
So with that out of the way let’s get on with our news letter :)
