¶ Welcome
The Aviation Education Readiness Initiative (AERI) is a an endeavor undertaken by the members of VFA-45 to better educate and prepare virtual aviators in a variety of topics pertaining to the operation and effective use of the DCS: F/A-18C. Aviation, communication, systems, and tactics are all key areas of focus for new and experienced pilots alike.
Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the Hornet and looking for some new wingmen, or new to DCS and interested in trying out the F/A-18C, VFA-45 can accommodate! Cockpit familiarization, administrative flight procedures, and tactical weapons employment are part of the multitude of missions the Hornet can tackle—and you can be sure to learn something and have a fun time doing it with the Spartans. We focus on flying together, so you'll be able to learn your own systems and have a capable flight lead to take care of your six at the merge. Interested in taking it further? Our squadron's command cadre will teach you how to lead the jets in your flight to successfully execute your mission and bring your team back home to the boat safely. Fly, strike, win!
