http://virtual-flight-academy-sd-march2011.eventbrite.com/Please join us for a public presentation of Virtual Flight Academy (VFA), an entirely new model for military aviation entry training as a nonprofit aviation career development program.
VFA is a non-profit youth aviation training and career development program seeking to start military aviation entry training as early as 12 years of age versus the norm today of age 22. VFA designs a fun and stimulating training environment to increase proficiency essential to being a military pilot operating manned or unmanned aircraft. VFA stitches together community, e-learning, and flight simulation services to provide an online training environment and experience that matches as close as possible to the current training pipelines.
The objective is to change the fundamental model of military aviation entry training to bring into alignment with how a young person progresses to becoming an Olympic athlete or a professional athlete such as a player in the NFL. Some supporters have remarked that this could be the most dramatic transformation to occur in this area in over 50 years.
Come hear an overview of VFA, and learn about our local program here in San Diego. We ask that you please register ahead of time to help us with our planning. Hope to see you there!
