Aquila Squadron

For the squadron featured in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, see: 156th Tactical Fighter Wing.

The Aquila Squadron is an squadron of the Aurelian Air Force. They are featured as a minor squadron in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, where they play a minor part in the game's finale, "End of Deception." If the player chooses mission 13A, "Armada" in the final mission branch and in turn lets the Alect Squadron arrive to Archelon Fortress, Aquila 2 will be shot down in the ensuing fight with the Alect-manned Fenrirs (he, however, can be saved if the fight is ended quickly.) In the other hand, if mission 13B is chosen, thus sparing the Cobalt Cave HPM convoy, Aquila 1 and 2 will be killed by the plasma weapon, with Aquila 3 following suit with the Shock Cannon's activation.
