Welcome to the Virtual Royal Air Force's (vRAF) website. vRAF simulates the Royal Air Force's daily activities and operates on the VATSIM network, primarily within the VATSIM UK Division. Founded on 18th July 2007, vRAF is part of the VATSIM Special Operations Administration (VSOA). We adhere to the most stringent guidelines when conducting operations and training and our pilots can look forward to taking part in a variety of training and operational exercises including; air-to-air refueling, carrier operations, low-level flying and more. We regularly take to the skies with our VSO partners in large international joint exercises.
