About VIFC                                                 Texte Fancais

The founders team at VIFC is composed of enthusiast flight simmers who have different experience with virtual flight simulation and VAs.  A new manager joined the team in the last weeks. These persons share the same vision of this hobby and decided to join to offer to the Flight Sim community a new concept of the hobby:  flying for pleasure and seeking  friends.  We are not all real pilots but we have  the same passion of flying.  We decided to share the management of this organization and we take decisions concerning it , on a cooperation basis.
