As a member of our virtual wing, you'll join a community of passionate flight enthusiasts who share a love for aviation and a commitment to excellence.

Thursday's flight is a combat sortie, providing thrilling opportunities to engage in coordinated missions and hone your combat skills. On the other hand, Sunday's flight is a training flight, offering valuable practice and learning opportunities for pilots of all skill levels.

In addition to our regular flights, we provide our members with access to an online flight log for logging flight hours; Aviation Combat Entry System (ACES), ensuring that your progress and accomplishments are tracked and recognized. We also maintain an Air Tasking Order (ATO) to organize and manage our missions effectively, providing clear objectives and taskings for each flight.

To ensure that all members are well-prepared for the challenges of virtual flight, we offer a comprehensive training program that covers essential techniques, procedures, and tactics. Our Naval Aviator Progression System (NAPS) tracks your progress throughout the training cycle.  New members are encouraged to complete this program within 60 days of joining, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in our virtual skies.

As part of our commitment to active participation and teamwork, we expect all members to fly at least one of the scheduled flights per week. This ensures that our missions are well-supported and our wing remains vibrant and engaged. 

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the world of virtual aviation, VCAW-99 welcomes you to embark on an exciting journey filled with thrilling missions, unforgettable experiences, and lasting friendships.

I'm interested in joining. I fly the F/A-18C and can currently do a cold startup, take off from an airfield and carrier, land at an airfield, and navigate using tacan and waypoints. I practice regularly but would like some more constructive training and feedback to get better and fly missions with other people.

[hannibal]

time zone? and flight times?

[Hammock]

@hannibal According to their website it’s eastern time and normally around 2000.

We are recruiting 1 F18 pilot.  Flight times are 8pm eastern Thursday and Sunday.  Recruitment will be closed soon for summer and we'd like to get you trained before then.  If you've been considering joining us, now is the time.  We have room for one F18 pilot.

For the recent applicants. I have send you an email. Check your spam folder if you don't see our email in you inbox. Feel free to send me a DM here if you have any issues

[BoneDust]

We are closing recruitment for now.  We've have had an influx of applicants, and we can only take 2-3.  We currently have 4 in our training pipeline.  As folks complete the training or leave we will look at opening recruitment again.

Thank you to those who have applied.

cheers

Hello there. We are opening recruitment for one more pilot. One of our recruits has gone through training quickly so we have one more space available. Let me know if you have any questions.

[BoneDust]

Recruitment is closed again...thanks

[BoneDust]

We are recruiting 1 F18 pilot.

Flight times are 8pm eastern Thursday and Sunday.  We can take one recruit.  We had someone join, but he/she never showed for the Discord interview.  We look for folks who are dedicated to the hobby, not people who like it because its new and get bored a few months later.  We also look for players who can fly at least once per week or more once their training is completed.  For new members in the training program we expect recruits to fly 3 times per week depending on your experience.  If not, you're not going to achieve the standard we expect and you will be asked to leave.  We have room for one F18 pilot before we shut recruiting down for the summer.

Cheers

Recruitment is closed for the summer.

We have decided to take one more F18 pilot.  We thought things would slow down for summer, but the wing is still very active, so we are accepting one F18 pilot.
