VIRTUAL CARRIER AIR WING 17

About us:

Virtual CVW-17 operates the F14-B Tomcat flying in VF-103 "Jolly Rogers" and the F/A-18C Hornet flying in VFA-34 "Blue Blasters". We simulate the composition of the real CVW-17 in the early 2000's, operating on the CVN-73 USS George Washington.

What we offer:

We fly missions and trainings every Tuesday and Thursday at 20:30 CET (Central European Time). We are comprised of people from all skill levels and professions and are also fortunate enough to have real life aviators in our ranks.

Our mission profile is diverse and covers the entire multirole spectrum. Missions usually last around 2 hours and may include a variety of tasks. As we are a naval air wing, carrier landings and air to air refuelings are the norm and we often train in them.

A small but nice detail is that, once you are accepted, you will be assigned a personalized jet, made by our talented livery makers.

Mission Statement:

Our objective is to bridge the gap between casual and milsim groups. We believe in learning and applying certain real world procedures and techniques, with the intent of becoming competent virtual aviators, while at the same time recognizing that DCS is a game.

We are looking for motivated and dedicated players, who are not afraid to challenge themselves and enjoy cooperation, coordination and a light atmosphere.

Above all, we want our sessions to be engaging and immersive.

 

VF-103 offers a small training syllabus to get you familiar with our way of doing things, based on real world procedures.

Who are we looking for?

Dedicated and experienced F-14 players. VF-103 is looking for people who want to take responsibility and build a cohesive squadron.

What we expect:

We do not have mandatory attendance but we see ourselves similarly to a sports team: it is all meant to be fun, but if you are a regular no show or are unwilling to learn from your mistakes, this unit might not be for you. What is most important to us is not that you are the best Tomcat player, but that you are dedicated and willing to learn. If this is something that sounds good to you, then we will be happy to have you.

Radar Intercept Officer

VF-103 of vCVW-17 is looking for new Radar Intercept Officers

The RIO is the fundamental element of the Tomcat, whilst the pilot flies the plane, the RIO communicates, navigates, uses the radar, builds Situational Awareness and so much more. Without a RIO the tomcat is nothing. The RIO is not just the support role in the backseat, he IS a vital part of the Tomcat. RIOs can make or break the plane; a good RIO can compensate for a bad pilot, whilst a good pilot cannot compensate for a bad RIO. 
VF-103 has developed a 9 flight syllabus to teach you the basics of being a RIO in a Mil-sim environment. If you've ever wanted to lead a plane, a crew, a section, a division or a Strike package into combat; vCVW-17 is the right place for you.

If you enjoy Virtual Naval Aviation and an Organised Air Wing to be a part of, then join us now. We fly as realistically as possible whilst keeping a light-hearted  attitude about it. 
We have a dedicated SNA (Pilot) and SNFO (RIO) Syllabus. We cover everything from Formation flying, CASE I Procedures, to Basic Radar Theory, Advanced Intercepts and BVR Timelines. You wanna learn how to Really Fly the Tomcat? JOIN US NOW! 

We fly every tuesday and thursday at 20:30 CET.

After FRS Virtual Carrier Air Wing 17 will go through its workup schedule to then Deploy for its 2024 Cruise.
