WHAT WE DO

The Virtual Royal New Zealand Air Force is a volunteer run VATSIM VSOA. We fly operations in New Zealand, Australia, Antarctica and anywhere else in the Pacific. We provide a fun and enjoyable experience and fly a modern fleet of aircraft flown by the real RNZAF. This organization mirrors the real RNZAF and pays respect to the people who serve with the New Zealand Defense Force.

PILOT TRAINING

Before flying the big stuff, we like to start with the small. Flying the nimble and aerobatic Texan T-6c you will be trained in many situations, from basic aircraft handling to high speed, low level formation flying. You will then graduate onto the multi-engine turboprop, King Air 350. Initial Pilot Training is one of the most exciting courses we offer
Aircraft flown:
  • Beechcraft Texan T-6c ii
  • Beechcraft King Air 350ii

Marine operations

Whether it's a SAR mission to the sub-Antarctic islands or searching the south pacific for submarines our marine division has it all. 
Aircraft Flown:
  • Lockheed P3K2 Orion
  • And soon the Boeing P8 Poseidon
