Welcome to the First Virtual Fighter Wing. We are a new Virtual Fighter Wing whose mission is to provide dominant combat
airpower and world-class training opportunities. We founded the 1st VFW because we wanted to get the most out of our combat
flight sim experience, by focusing on realistic training and combat exercises. Although we fly combat missions on a daily basis,
the core of the 1st VFW is training. We believe if training is the primary focus of the wing, combat proficiency will take care of
itself. All of our training and flight procedures are based on a hybrid of USAF, USN, USMC, and NATO training documents,
pipelines, and procedures. Both of the 1st VFW founders have experience in the US Navy and Marine aviation communities,
and strong ties to active pilots in the USAF. We leverage our unique ability to communicate with real life active pilots,
NFOs/WSOs, Maintenance Officers, and Instructor Pilots to improve our training programs. Our goal is to provide the most
intensive and realistic training available, in a fun and respectful environment.

The 1st VFW is a democratic organization. All Wing decisions are decided by our members, including the sims we fly.
Currently we support both Open Falcon, and Falcon 4.0: Allied Force. All our members have access to a Wing dedicated server
for both OF and AF. The server enables us to host large online flights and F4 community wide training exercises and
competitions. Furthermore, we are dedicated to improving the sims we fly, by creating mods and new features that we share
with our members. We demonstrate this commitment by providing all of our new members with their own 1st VFW free email
and FTP accounts to make file sharing quick and easy. So if you want to have realistic training, or participate in large flights, or
beta test mods we are currently developing, please visit our Recruiting page and find out how to get involved.

The wing is now open for recruiting. Pilots from all over the world are welcome to join, regardless of their experience. Please feel
free to browse though our website. We'll be fully operational in a few weeks. For more information about the 1st VFW and its
recruiting opportunities, visit the About Us and Recruiting sections (under Admin on the menu) of this website, or email us at
