tl;dr - Milsim-lite squadron recruiting Hornet pilots of all skill levels. We fly on Thursdays @ 8:45 US Eastern.
VFA-161 Fightin' Stingrays are a virtual US Navy squadron recruiting F/A-18C Hornet pilots. We have a training pipeline if you’re new-new, or a system of checkrides if you’re an experienced pilot. We’re milsim-lite, but we try to strike a balance between serious in the jets and not-so-serious the rest of the time.
We have available slots for 4-6 new pilots to start training on June 6. We have workups planned for July-August, followed by a 12-14 week cruise with missions and events that play out like a campaign (history of the region, an actual storyline, etc.).
We fly missions on Thursdays @ 8:45 US Eastern on a private dedicated server. The rest of the time we keep a version of Pretense loaded, and you can always find someone to fly with.
We’re looking for mature adults (isn’t everyone?) with a passion for Naval Aviation, a desire to improve your skills in the jet, and a working sense of humor.
Does that sound like you? Outstanding! Check in with our squadron Discord and see what we’re all about.
