Message from the Commander

The 964th Airborne Air Control Squadron “Phoenix” is the control backbone of the 51st Virtual Fighter Wing. While the jets fight, we own the picture—sequence, separation, and the calls that keep packages effective.

We work ground, tower, arrival and departure, and tactical control roles that turn a server full of aircraft into a coherent fight. LotATC is the tool; judgment and discipline are the standard.

If you want to shape the battlespace instead of only flying through it, you’re in the right squadron.

Overwatch. Omniscient.
— Lt. Col. "Pebble", Squadron Commander

What We Control
