Why "dragon" squadron?

It's no big deal, really... but who decided that this squadron should be called the "DRAGON SQUADRON"? Was there some kind of poll that was given to decide on the name before I became a member or was it just decided on by someone who apparently likes mythical fire-breathing lizards...?

Scientific studies were done prior to the naming of squadrons. Lots of money was spent.









That money was apparently spent on lots of booze and ??????

Actually there was a whole process to it. The squadrons were supposed to be based on actual military fighter squadrons, our first choice was the Black Knights because they had been stationed in SoCal, but then BikerBoyz came out and one of the gangs was called the Black Knights and we didn't want to have any association with thtat movie.
