General Information
The Osean Air Defense Force 8th Air Division, 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron is featured in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War and has two noteable squadrons within it. One of these is the Wizard Squadron. The Wizard Squadron's battle style is extremely aggressive; their pilots are highly skilled. Half of their unit flies F-16XL aircraft. As that half of the unit is engaged, the second unit, made up of stealthy YF-23A Black Widows, takes the enemy by suprise.
History
The 32nd TFS Wizard were a key frontline Osean Fighter Squadron, which commonly fought over The Round Table. They had soon became known as the Osean "All Stars of the Round Table". As the war continued the entrie Wizard Squadron became less and less supportive of the war and their orders. After the incident which occured at the Waldreich Mountains on June 6th, 1995, the Wizard Squadron went missing in action.
They joined the group known as "A World With No Boundaries". The Wizard Squadron's flight leader is believed to have founded "A World With No Boundaries" along side the alleged head director Anton "Dr." Kupchenko and Anthony Palmer.
The Wizard Squadron later reappeared over Air Space B7R, the Round Table, during the allied 'Operation Thunderbolt'. They engaged the Ustian 66th AFU Galm as they were enroute to destroy the rebellion's main force at Avalon Dam. The engagement was fierce, but resulted in the Wizard Squadron being shot down.
