Group : 1 Group
Airframe : Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4
Location : RAF Coningsby
Platforms : FSX/P3D
Flying the Typhoon FGR4 on the frontline is the epitome of vRAF’s operations. Taking part in regular training and large exercises this is a highly rewarding aircraft to fly. Also on 24/7 standby for Quick Reaction Alert, there is no end to a Typhoons capability.

120 Squadron

Group : 1 Group
Airframe : Boeing P-8 Poseidon
Location : RAF Lossiemouth
Platforms : FSX/P3D/XPlane/MSFS
The Poseidon is a powerful surface and subsurface hunter, working closely with simulated naval assets to find and destroy hostile naval combatants. In peacetime the Poseidon also provides search and rescue capability, having powerful sensors and cameras that can locate and track downed aircraft or sinking ships.

617 Squadron

Group : 1 Group
Airframe : Lockheed Martin F-35B
Location : RAF Marham
Platforms : FSX/P3D/XPlane/MSFS
The F-35B specializes in low observability operations, with its stealth capability and immense electronic warfare suite it serves to suit the needs of the future battlefield. One of the key features of the F-35B is its STOVL capability, we regularly operate from HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales all over the globe.

10 Squadron

Group : 2 Group
Airframe : Airbus Voyager KC.2/3
Location : RAF Brize Norton
Platforms : FSX/P3D/XPlane/MSFS
