Re: How many fighters in a wing, how many wings in a squadron?
But I'd imagine that it would be awkward for the technicians having to spray on a different squadron crest each time a pilot from a different unit requests another unit's ship.

They are big magnets like 'L' plates on a car - ha ha  :D
Ultra sucky for announcing greatness and returning with nothing.....

Re: How many fighters in a wing, how many wings in a squadron?
Right, I think it's a bit how IRL squadrons usually have around 16-24 planes, but usually only sortie a flight (6-8) planes at a time. An operationally airborne squadron usually has around 3 wings airborne in FS, with anywhere between 2-6 ships per wing, but it also has about 1-2 wings worth of aircraft in reserve. In a situation like Love the Treason... It was perceived as a tactically correct move to deploy the entire squadron, including reserve wings, but I doubt you'd usually see squadrons airborne of that size.
