Number of active pilots: 20
Timezone: UTC+1
Recruiting: YES
**New pilot required qualifications:**Must be 18 y.o.
Contact person: Saruman, prophecy72, bluc69, Vandroy, Irish
Description:
Virtual Italian Air Force (VIAF) is one of the oldest and most experienced Italian communities especially dedicated to all aspects of flight simulation, having more than 15 years of continuous activity and over 30 members.VIAF, as a Community, was established as a comfortable place where people, interested to flight simulation, can share experiences, ideas, knowledge and, above all, fun. We encourage and use realistic operational scenarios and S.O.P. and our members are actually engaged especially with Falcon BMS, DCS and IL-2. We organize and mantain courses both for Falcon BMS and DCS, divided into rookie, intermediate and advanced classes and therefore able to entertain a wide audience of virtual pilots, from the new ones to the more experienced.
Besides the virtual entertainment and daily concrete activity with the aforementioned flight simulators, as a no-profit association VIAF aims to spread the aeronautical culture and has been cooperating since its establishment with Aeronautica Militare Italiana (AMI). Under this official capacity, VIAF is official partner in dozens of aeronautical events, as happened for example in September 2015 during the celebration of the 55th Anniversary of Frecce Tricolori, in which VIAF officially made available for trial flights to a wide public its own 1:1 scale working cockpit of F-16 Fighting Falcon, equipped with Falcon BMS and âNEW Balkansâ theater.
Because of its history, experience and resources, VIAF is also a well-known and respected international partner, as testified by the official invitation to participate to the celebration for the 75th anniversary of Locarno airport and the 100th anniversary of the âSwiss Air Forceâ in 2013. It also participated to NATO events, lastly in Rome in 2015 on the occasion of the M&S Standardization Workshop, dedicated to the standardization application of Modelling and simulation (M&S) of realistic environments in gaming and entertainment scenarios.

Webpage: https://coriolanculo0.wixsite.com/stingerspage
Language: English is our main language.
UTC : Central European Time.
Recruiting : yes
Requirements: Non experiences pilots are welcome. Biggest requirements is having a taste for structured flying and the will to dig into the books.
Basic Setup required: HOTAS is the minimum. Track-Ir is a big +.

Description:
Stingers is a small virtual Squadron. We have been inactive for some time due to real life events. We are slowly getting back into it. We like to fly in a structured way, we have our own training syllabus aimed at bringing up everyone to the same level in the squadron.
In the past we have participated in some exchange events with other Squadrons. Those events are valuable to us, in that they give us a good measuring tool in where we stand and most importantly the fun that we have flying with other squadrons.

After a run of about 12 years, the 20th VFW has closed shop.
Most of the remaining F-16 members have transitioned to the 440th VFW.
Thanks to all past members, it was great fun (most of the time)

Thereâs also us which is a Virtual Training Wing but not a Virtual Fighter wingâŠbut we do fight AFTER we learn and train. This is who we are for anyone interested
About us:
US & Internationals welcome - we are based in US
Welcome to Stalkerâs Wing Walkers =LEARN TRAIN FIGHT=
BMS sans arcade is a marathon not a sprint; we pride ourselves on: baby steps; sharing; patience; motivating; encouragement; mentoring; and above all, kindness. And lastly, check egos at the door
We are a Virtual Training Wing (VTW) and not a Virtual Fighter Wing (VFW)âŠ.some differences are:
-
no Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)s - however, we do strive to teach flying the viper as real life as possible given the limitations of the SIM, and strive for 100% RAMP to RAMP, when possible
-
we donât have a stringent Training Program: itâs learn/fly at your leisure and on any subject you desire. Only a suggestion for training since many folks feel lost what to do next or how to proceed: 1) FAM flight; 2) BVR; 3) WVR/Mutual Support; 4) AG GP bombs/KOTAR RANGE OPS; 5) DEAD/SEAD; 6) Smart munitions; 7) Tac-form; 8, IFR/ILS navigation, et al
-
feel free to join any campaign flights you feel you are comfortable to fly in. Many campaign missions will require AAR so itâs good to get patched on that first.
-
we donât have any ranks aside from Instructor Pilots and thatâs not really a rank per se but a well earned title
-
check out our #ssw-patch-legend channel to see all the cool things you can train on your own, with an IP, or any other wing walker
-
have fun and make new friends!

Hello Viper community, again
We have splintered from Stalkerâs Wing Walkers and formed a new Training Wing:
We specialize in Training and hence weâre a Virtual Training Wing (VTW) but also exercise campaigns/TE et alâŠâŠ
a snippet from #about us on our Discord site:
Welcome to our F16 Virtual Training Wing (VTW), home of the 7th Grim Reapers. We are a small group who specialize in training folks who are new to Benchmark Sims (BMS) and/or seasoned virtual Viper fliers, interested in learning, training, and fighting in the Viper, by taking it to the next level to fly as real life as possible given the limitations of the sim. We may be a small group but thatâs by design so as to ensure excellent and comprehensive one-on-one training with a designated IP. With over 4000 BMS F16 flight hours (personally), logged over various virtual fighter wings over the years since 4.32, and having flown with several real-life viper pilots as well as other fast jet pilots, youâll enjoy becoming proficient in the following:
-
Ground Ops/Familiarity Flight (FAM)
-
Beyond Visual Range (BVR)
-
Within Visual Range/Mutual Support (WVR/MS)
-
Air-to-Air refueling (AAR) OPS
-
Air-to-Ground Attack via General Purpose Bombs (CCRP/CCIP/DTOS) KOTAR RANGE OPS & Mark Points
-
DEAD/SEAD and Hunter/Killer
-
Air-to-Ground Attack via Smart/GPS Weps
8] IFR/TCN/ILS Navigation
- Tactical Formation/Tactical Turns
After completing each Training successfully, a patch will be pinned certifying your demonstrated proficiency. Once all 9 are completed you will have earned the Swords Patch and will then become a permanent member, for LIFE*
The trainings will be conducted in the order listed above and will need to be completed within 9 months (or sooner) from your FAM Flight, to remain in Active Training Status and an Active Member here.
Your designated IP will be: kind, patient, provide encouragement, encourage baby steps, and help you in any way possible. Your IP will also keep reminding you that learning the Viper is a marathon and not a sprint, hence 9 months to learn the basics; thereafter, thereâs still a ton to learn and it never really stops. The biggest takeaway? HAVE FUN AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS
[all training materials will be provided on your journey] [we are 100% ramp to ramp, and strive to keep it [B]non-arcade]
Experience needed to join you ask? ZERO!
