Overview
The 41st Virtual Fighter Squadron (VFS) "Black Aces" is a carrier-based F-14B(U) strike fighter squadron deployed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).

The 41st VFS strives to honour that legacy by embracing the professionalism, discipline, and combat effectiveness of the real Black Aces, integrating authentic US Navy carrier procedures, tactical doctrine, and mission planning into every virtual operation.
