AIR COMBAT IS A TEAM SPORT - Fighting in the air-to-air and air-to-surface environment is a relatively new form of combat, spanning a period of just over 100 years. During that time, rapid technological development has spurred progress from very primitive weapon systems to the present beyond visual range and "point and shoot" capabilities of modern fighters. Nevertheless, the very basic principles of aerial combat have remained virtually unchanged, seasoned only by actual combat and training experiences. Aerial combat is by far the most difficult aspect of flight to understand and master. The arena is very dynamic, and the skills used must be learned over time. Personal desire and discipline will determine how quickly the individual masters the required skills. We honor all those who have served before us with passion and realism using the Digital Combat Simulator software. Through Discipline, Dedication, and Teamwork, we rise to the mission!
