The VFA-136 Knighthawks are a group of enthusiasts who fly the F/A-18C Hornet in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS). We are part of CVW-7, a virtual carrier air wing at VNAO (Virtual Naval Air Operations).
We are not a milsim group, but we are proud to relive the dream of being a fighter pilot with real-life procedures, communications and tactics.
TSTA Workups started
VNAO CVW-7 is busy with Tailored Ship Training Availability (TSTA) in preparation for the next deployment.

Solid (302) and Junior are waiting for Bambi (303) who is tanking at an S3 overhead mother.
