Message from the Commander


The 1st Regiment Army Air Corps is the rotary-wing arm of the 51st Virtual Fighter Wing. We fly the AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook to put steel where the fight is and move what the force needs—low, deliberate, and accountable to the ground picture.

This unit exists for joint work: attack and lift in support of the wider wing and Combined Arms players who depend on us. Discipline on the controls, clarity on the radio, and honesty in the debrief are non-negotiable.

If you want helicopter aviation that serves the mission—not the highlight reel—you’re in the right regiment.

Vertical lift.
— Lt. Col. "Jimbo", Regiment Commander

Apache. Chinook. Mission first.

The 1st Regiment is building rotary pilots who can fight and lift under pressure. If that is the aviation you want, start your application with the wing.
