History
The first air unit created in the Outworlds Alliance, the First Alliance Air Wing had become the most respected unit in the Alliance. Its pilots were some of the best pilots in and out of the Inner Sphere. No one joined the First Air Wing straight out of training; pilots were selected from the other four air wings based on skill and merit. While this caused some friction with the other units, it wasn't enough to effect joint operations.
