Virtual Northwest Airlines is dedicated to providing a unique environment for the advancement of the virtual aviation experience.

Through our mutual efforts, vNWA partners, pilots and staff continually work to ensure that all of our members feel as part of a family of like-minded enthusiasts who work together to simulate the operations of Northwest Airlines as closely as possible by utilizing the same fleet, routes, and hub structure of the airline before it merged.

In doing this, vNWA staff endevour to provide our pilots with all the tools needed to make their experience as enjoyable and realistic as possible.

CaptainAB VATSIM Training Flig

Fly from any event departure airport to Atlanta (KATL) with full ATC along the way! This event is made for new and unexperienced VATSIM pilots! Other event pilots will also be new and we will all be chilling out in the program's Discord voice channels so if you are struggling with your aircraft or with communicating to ATC, our event helpers are ready to assist!

This event is part of the VATSIM Training Program which was coordinated by CaptainAB with help from many amazing volunteers, including CptCanada and XP72, with the aim to get more people confident on the VATSIM network.

All events run as part of the program include the ability for new VATSIM pilots to receive help from experienced VATSIM users for the entire duration of the event.

A lovely set of flights and a great way to kickstart your VATSIM journey!
