Overview

We are the 457th Virtual Fightin' Spads, a Mil-Sim Squadron flying the F-16C in DCS. We are committed to providing our members with a professional and fun environment to fly in. All new members must pass Pilot Initial Qualification and Mission Qualification before being Mission Ready Wingmen. While this does serve as a right of passage into our ranks, it also ensures that we are capable of flying missions in online servers. Once our pilots obtain Mission Ready status, there are several other training courses we offer to keep building skill and gaining responsibility. Our operations are based on real world USAF Squadron Operations with training, stan-eval, tactics, scheduling, and snack-o (still trying to figure out how to do this one :wink: ). We are based across the US, although we will accept EU members, we may just not be able to fly together as much. Unlike other Virtual Squadrons in DCS, we do not have a time requirement for members to stay active. Once you join you may fly as much or as little as you like. We are not affiliated with the real world 457th FS.
