 We are very sorry to share the news that Matt 'Wags' Wagner has passed following a hard-fought battle with cancer. Matt was instrumental in the development of Jane's F/A-18, the simulation platform upon which VFA-41 was originally created. He later became the voice of Eagle Dynamics, the developer of the Digital Combat Simulator platform that we have used since 2018 for carrier operations as a naval aviation squadron. VFA-41 simply would not exist if not for his decades of dedicated contribution to the flight sim community. Thanks, Wags! You will be sorely missed.
