Commanders Note

What makes the 104th Phoenix VFBS successful is hidden within the heart and personality of its membership. It is no secret that we are a group of aviation enthusiasts, but most importantly we all connect as friends. Your personality must be a fit within our squadron as well. You must display good, solid character, a positive personality and a willingness to help or volunteer. Also, you must enjoy the challenge that DCS brings. It is critical that you are willing to learn and enjoy the simulation as a team.

Having said  that , it does take time for us to figure that you are a good fit for our squadron. We achieve that through training, events and everyday online interaction.  This does take time and everyone must be patient with the process.  Everyone within the 104th has done all that is necessary to join over the years. The process is challenging but well worth the reward!
