Each squadron has his own group of IPs and the training follows a similar structure:

Initial Qualification Training (IQT);
Mission Qualification Training (MQT);
Continuation Training (CT);
Upgrades(UGT).

More information about the training can be found here.

The 132nd Virtual Wing do not required any specific attendance and exclusive membership: you can be part of any group you want and still fly with us. We do appreciate commitment and regular participation, the latter especially during the first phases of the training. Real life comes always first though!

Our training sessions and missions are open to external guests and friends from other vSquadrons unless otherwise specified (happens very rarely). Our last open operation, OP URGENT FURY MSN 12 (22/09/2019), has seen 40 Pilots, RIOs and Controllers from the 132nd VW and other groups.

Our Discord has over 200 members, feel free to join us for questions or just out of curiosity!
