72nd VFW Wing Events open to the Public

posted Sep 16, 18

From the Management:

To anyone visiting the 72nd VFW, some of our squadron and wing events for the foreseeable future will be open to the public at the discretion of wing leadership and our members. Feel free to check out our discord and events calendar. We are opening up participation to encourage more participation. 72nd members still have priority for seating but we encourage getting more members of our community to get together and fly with us.

One caveat, if you wish to participate in our flights please familiarize yourself with how we operate here at the 72nd VFW on our website and on youtube. We like to try for realism in our operations, so if you're in this for some quick Air Quake action, you might be disappointed.

August Participation

September Event: Joint Wing LFE with the 440th VFW!

sir_quacks 72CMD tag

posted Sep 1, 18 - SEPTEMBER

To all 72nd VFW Members:

This months event is an LFE planned by our own Stretch. Also, we've extended an invitation to another VFW to join us this month and I am excited to announce that this will be a joint mission with the 440th VFW!

We have a FRAGO for this next LFE. Due to the increased interest from both wings, Stretch has done some retooling to accommodate more pilots. This will be one of the biggest missions in the 72nd in recent years.

It appears that NATO command has received some intel on impending airstrikes on Israel and wants to preempt Iraq's attack with one of our own.

Here are your updated training objectives for this month:

1. Successful highspeed low-level ingress, bombing, and egress of a defended airfield.

2. Effective suppression of AD systems using SPICE bombs or Delilah missiles.

3. Successful implementation of 2vX tactics from BVR into the visual arena with AIM-9 and 20mm only.

We will still be flying in the ITO theater so start perfecting your tactics now. Keep an eye on the forums for more info. Sign up HERE!
