Most important we are a fun loving squad dedicated to helping each other and having a good time :rock

We have squad nights on mondays, we also participate in wed snapshot and Friday Squad Ops (vf-6)

We open our doors to players of all skill level. If you want training we have both in squad trainers, and we can help put you in contact with an AH trainer.

We are a navy squad and fly alot of the Navy planes but we mix it up alot and fly just about everything.

Most important we are a good bunch of guys that are here to have fun.

Our squad CO and Founder is JoeDog31 :rock

Fly with a historic squad that has received accolades from former VF-31 Tomcatters for representing their past.

I own a hat that my Uncle gave to me that has the VF-31 Tomcatters logo on it. He said he found it on the flight deck of one of the aircraft carriers and grabbed it before it blew into the Ocean. No one ever claimed it. he was in the Navy for 28 years a s A mechanic.
