Flight tier level
They first appeared in Alpha Flight vol. 1, #1 (August 1983).
The original Gamma Flight served as the first tier in the three tier process of becoming a member of Alpha Flight as instituted by Department H. Gamma Flight was mostly raw recruits. After a training period, theoretically they would be upgraded to Beta Flight and eventually to Alpha Flight, the premiere official superhero team of Canada. The members were Diamond Lil, Smart Alec, Wild Child, and Madison Jeffries.[1]
Many former Gamma Flight members were convinced by Jerry Jaxon and Delphine Courtney to join Omega Flight in his bid to destroy James Hudson.[2]
Canadian government sanctioned team
The Canadian government founded a new sanctioned superhero team after the disappearance of Alpha Flight. This Gamma Flight included Nemesis, Wildchild, Silver, Auric and Witchfire. With Alpha Flight implicated in various misdeeds that occurred, Gamma Flight had orders to bring them to the authorities.[3] This team was latter disbanned in a merger with Department H and Alpha Flight with some members leaving. [4]
Support operation
In a revived Department H, Gamma Flight refers to support operations.[4]
