Backgorund:
The Squadron uses Su-37 Super Flankers as their choice of fighter. This aircraft gives them the largest advantage in combat, and coupled with their flight abilities, they are a force to be reckoned with. The 'Yellow Squadron' are made up of Erusea's best fighter pilots and they show it. They primarily focus on engaging all of their enemies as a large group, rarely do they engage in one-on-one combat. While being pursued they perform multiple maneuvers, such as the Kobra Maneuver, to confuse and derail an enemy's attack.
History:
The Yellow Squadron is Erusea's Best Tactical Fighter Squadron. Because of their skills, Erusian High Command assigned them with the task of guarding Stonehenge. The squadron commander, known as Yellow 13, is said to be the best pilot in all of Erusea and has a kill score of 63, as of October 10th, 2004.
At the beginning of the war they were mostly assigned to Air Defense Missions around Stonehenge. As the war went on and the ISAF Forces were pushed towards the Eastern Coastline the Yellow Squadron was assigned to long range missions, from their Runway in San Salvacion. Their second farthest mission took them to the Petrol Processing Facility outside of Comberth Harbor on the far East Coast, where they attempted to repel an ISAF attack, but were too late to stop it. However, they did manage to destroy multiple ISAF aircraft.
Their longest range mission took the to the Comona Islands, over the Riass Space Center. They had appeared at the very start of the battle and had remained their for most of the operation. However, with the lack of a Tanker on station they were forced to retreat. This retreat was also caused by battle damage they had sustained throughout the battle, mainly Yellow 13, who had suffered a critical missile hit. It was later determined that the ISAF's Top Ace known as Mobius One, had delivered this devastating blow.
The war pushed on and the ISAF continued to regain lost ground. Erusian High Command had began cycling new pilots through the Yellow Squadron, in hopes of quickly developing skilled pilots for front line combat. Near the end of the war and as Erusea began to lose ground, the Yellow Squadron had been returned to defending vital areas in the Erusian Defense line. When the ISAF had commenced a Stonehenge Offensive, they had scrambled to intercept the enemy fighters. During the battle Yellow 04, Yellow 13's Wingman, was shot down and killed. The Squadron retreated back to San Salvacion after seeing the Stonehenge was already out of commission. Yellow 04's death and the destruction of Stonehenge was caused by Mobius One, as well.
A few months later, the ISAF Forces had attacked San Salvacion itself in an attempt to free the city from Erusian control. The Yellow Squadron was active in the entire area, holding off multiple ISAF fighters. However, it is said that many were shot down by Mobius One in combat. The exact number is unknown, but Yellow 13 and the surviving members were ordered to retreat the Farbanti, the Erusian Capital when multiple Tu-160 Blackjacks were sent to destory as much as San Salvacion as possible. After the last defense line was broken days later, and the Siege of Farbanti began; the Yellow Squadron was sent out once again into battle. When they arrived, their first opponent was Mobius One, himself. Many witnesses from each side said that the enusing air battle was an amazing display of Air Combat Manuvering. However, by the end of the battle the Yellow Squadron had fallen, along with the Capital.
Though the Capital was lost and Erusea had surrendered, many members of the military had rebelled against their orders and took control of Megalith, the last Erusian Super weapon. As they prepared to launch a last devastating attack against the ISAF on the Usean Continent, a large ISAF unit was sent to destroy their base.
September 26th, 2005. The final battle was at hand. The trainees which had been cycled through or were once a part of the Yellow Squadron had gathered together and flown against the incoming ISAF Squadron, known as the "Mobius Squadron" lead by Mobius One. After an intense aerial battle, resulting in heavy losses on both sides, the last of the Yellow Squadron was defeated. The Yellow Squadron was officially disbanded in September of 2005, with the deaths of every pilot. [no records of surviving members have been found at this time]

This man, only known by his callsign, "Yellow 13" is the leader of the Yellow Squadron. Yellow 13 is said to be the best Fighter Pilot in the F.E.A.F. and is later confirmed as the Erusian "Ace of Aces". He prides himself on the fact that he has never lost a squadron member in combat.
