Who We Are

Australian Border Force Virtual (ABFV) is a Vatsim affiliated VSOA virtual organisation operating on the VATSIM network. We simulate the aerial border protection and maritime surveillance missions of the real-world Australian Border Force.

Our pilots fly realistic patrol routes across Australia's vast Exclusive Economic Zone, conduct simulated interception and escort operations, and work alongside other VATSIM organisations in coordinated multi-agency exercises.

We are committed to realism, professionalism, and building a strong community of aviation enthusiasts passionate about border and maritime operations.
