Sure, you'll just get 1/1 flying two-drops. But the card advantage this nets can come pretty handy.
In regards of discarding them like Squee, or exiling them, or to boost your Empyrial enhancements.
But a cip/etb trigger sounds more appealing than a "pig"-trigger, therefore i'd rather have a Squadron Hawk. I'd possibly run both of them in a Bird tribal deck, though.
That old Hawk buddy also has some synergy with Locket of Yesterdays, this might be somewhat useful in conjuction with the aforementioned Soulcatcher cards.

I used to run these in my white weenie deck with Duskrider Falcon and Freewind Falcon.

The OG Squadron Hawk. Used to be one of my favourite cards. Still love it, but I can't imagine playing it now that squawk exists.

@Drewsel: I echo your words. Undoubtedly, I was extremely disappointed with one of my favorite illustrators. Worst Rob's art ever, sadly.

How did Rob Alexander make this look fantastic, and Squadron Hawk so derpy?

Exellent card, I run this along side Soulcatcher, and Soulcatchers' Aerie.

I use these guys heavily in my Bird tribal deck. They are an amazing annoyance, and work well with Soulcatcher's Aerie.

Well, with Wheel of Sun and Moon and, um, Aluren? and a sacrifice outlet you have an infinite combo.
Okay, not that good. At least the art is great.
The inexcusable thing is that this would've been just fine in Caw-Blade. Just fine. Squadron Hawk's ridiculous power level increase was totally unnecessary.

Along with Squadron Hawk, one of the best targets for Mistveil Plains.
