We are currently preparing and submitting our VATSIM vSOA application. At this stage, VSAF is not yet an official VATSIM Special Operations organization, and we want to make that clear so visitors are not misled.
Your privacy (GDPR): By applying for membership or using this site, you consent to VSAF collecting limited personal data (name, VATSIM CID, email, and related membership/training records) as described in our Privacy Policy. Read the full policy at /privacy.php.

Honor. Precision. Guardians of the Sky.

VSAF is a VATSIM-based virtual squadron for pilots who want more than casual flying — real procedures, a full rank structure, and mission profiles modeled on actual military operations.

01 / Who we are

Structure first. Flying second.

VSAF brings real operational discipline to virtual flying. Members progress through a defined rank structure, complete supervised training, and fly under full pre-flight briefings and post-flight debriefs — every sortie follows ICAO procedure, published flight plans, and full coordination with VATSIM air traffic control.

Procedure-based flying

ICAO standards, published flight plans, controlled slot times.

Structured progression
