Hello Virtual Navy Aviators!The VNCVW9 - Virtual Navy Carrier Wing 9 is only one Navy carrier wing of several; I chose the 9th for a few reasons, and I think it is a good choice.Carrier Wing 9's fixed base of operations is Lemoore, Calif. and is one of 4 Wings there ! Lots of potential for virtual navy activity here!! (We are only one wing).The VNCVW9 will be the parent organization of VNATC (it's flight training program); it's members will organize and run VNATC - the Virtual Naval Aviator Training Corps - a somewhat fictitous logistical organization which models real world flight training missions and bases.VNATC is created mostly for logistics and liason to the various virtual naval, NOAA, coast guard, and marines flight training bases. The VNATC concept is suggestive of possible online Vatsim pilot flight training standardization, as both VA and VSOA flight standards are flown against.The websites have been updated allowing access to the member forum; read down thru the main page to get to the training site; on the training site you will find the link on the main page to the training forum where pilots may sign up: http://vncvw9.webs.com/We will run VA-type flight operations until we get 10 active members flying for 3 months; this is the Vatsim requirement to sign up as a VSOA. Once this membership is active we will move the websites to a 'pay' site just prior to signing up as a VSOA.As you can see, having a VSOA on Vatsim requires some amount of dedication...now the ground work is almost in place we can start flying! If you go thru training you can also qualify for VUSCG Dist 7 or VNOAA as well! ADM "Hawkeyez" Gray - XO VNCVW9/VNATC

This Virtual Navy group is on hold til after RTW...I am inviting Avsim members to apply !! Get in early and get a command staff postion !!Blake

see now if this was MAG-31 from KNBC you'd have me. :)

Hello,Hmm KNBC - well our flight training program will or may have marine pilots in training once that is in place - I thught I was gonna be busy here with something else now I guess I wont so I can go back to a more enjoyable relaxing hobby called real flightsimming on Vatsim.....There is a virtual marines group though coming back I hope it works out I used to be a member...I am geared a littler more to newer pilots who want to fly virtual military flightsimming without as much rigormaro as VUSN does to their people...but if they want to move on thats ok too I been with VUSN and they are what they are if that is what pilots want I say go for it.Not sure who MAG-31 is but well there is a Mig-31 that has chased me down a few times in Falcon 4 AF...now that is a SIM !Fair Winds !
