Bennyyy427 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Since 2020, the 457th vFS has been training and testing its DCS F-16 pilots to be efficient and daring. The 457th, also known as the "Spads", offer courses that will turn the most amateur F-16 pilot into the best there is. On top of that, pilots have the opportunity to take courses in order to learn and become better at: acting as an aggressor (in the F-18 and/or F-5), leading a 2/4 ship flight, being a Mission Commander, and much more! For example, the 457th and what it offers has helped me become a better pilot as I now know how to communicate over radio during missions, and has given me an opportunity to better my photography skills. The squadrons requirements are very simple, and so is the process for becoming a Spad. Pilots do not have to be in certain timezones, but as a heads up, a majority of pilots are located within timezones involving the US. The one thing that separates the 457th from an average DCS squadron is the activity requirements. Pilots can attend any event they can show up to and are not required to show up to a certain amount of events in a certain time span. As a result, pilots can host and join impromptu flights / missions. Large-scale events consisting of training or combat missions are also held, sometimes with other squadrons.
