VFA-192 “Golden Dragons” is a realism-focused DCS squadron currently flying the F/A-18C as part of a larger, joint operational structure under JTF-191. Our training pipeline is built in close collaboration with real-world naval aviators and makes use of the T-45 Goshawk to simulate the scope of Navy flight training before stepping into the Hornet cockpit.

​

We're a new squadron with big goals—formed by experienced virtual aviators and professionals, including real pilots, to create an environment where high performance is earned and excellence is expected.

Structured syllabus modeled after real-world naval flight training High-fidelity, squadron-level realism within a multi-branch joint task force Mentorship and instruction from current/former real-world military aviators Tight-knit squadron culture built on shared standards and mutual respect Balanced approach: serious when it’s time to train and fly, relaxed when it’s time to have fun
