Campaign History of the Green Tails 

Within the WWI flight sim community, Jasta 5 was certainly one of the earliest Jasta organized online.  It appeared and disappeared a few times.

On January 21st, 2004, eighty eight years to the day after first being formed, Paul Bäumer was directed by the Kaiser to begin preparations for the reactivation of Jagdstaffel 5.  Since that time, the redeployment of the Green Tails of Jasta 5 has successfully strengthened air support along the Western Front.

In 2011, Jasta 5 distinguished itself by conducting the first Rise of Flight campaign open to multiple units worldwide.  Read more about the first event of it's kind for the Rise of Flight community, the innaugural month long Bloody April campaign.
