Hello vNOAA !
Hawkeyez here. I have 450 hours on Vatsim, a 150 hours or so in the various VSOAs there including VUSAF, VUSN, VUSMC.
I have learned alot about what it takes to be in a VSOA - Vatsim Special Operations. I flew mostly the A-10 and C-130 and participated in Red Flag, Operation Northern Fury, Op Deep Freeze; flew bombing, recon, and equipment delivery missions.
Flying military jets didnt seem to work out for me so I am working on trying to join VUSCG doing SAR and relief missions, so I can remain connected as I met many great friends in the various VSOA's. You will get no better flight simming experience than joining one of these groups, although be prepared for a tough flight! If it is for you that's great I say go for it!
It has taken me some time to realize my full potential and where to go from here. Starting this VSOA was a good idea, and although I know it will take time to grow, the options are many here.
As a VSOA it wont be too tough as the other VSOA's to get in and maintain flight status, but as time goes on we can improve and grow in difficulty, and any pilots can find their own niche here.
This is about the flight simming hobby on Vatsim, making friends, flying other flight sim platforms like Falcon 4 of which I am in training with another squadron, and learning how to fly in an ATC environment unlike no other online with Vatsim is the place to be.
You just have to give yourself time; and we will do our best to give everyone that time to figure things out.
In fact as an example I found out we can fly the C-130 even though it may not be in service in the real world; how kool is that !
The idea though is that we will use the C-130 for training and relief operations, prior to qualifying in the P3 Orion.
I am very pleased to be here and cant wait to fly with you all.
Give me a week to get the aircraft in the hangers and the website going and we will be off and away !
I am noting that the board is abit hard to read. You can customize which colors you want on your character; default is pretty good; I will fix Deep Blue here later !
