Born out of the original “BVA Military,” BVASO sets forth a new mission statement to not only provide realistic military training and operations within the Boston ARTCC (ZBW), but also grow and expand to include a number of real-world ZBW aviation-related services and simulations such as Search & Rescue, Medevac, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).

BVA and ZBW are home to a great number of professional, real-world aviation units, and the newly reformed BVASO is excited to bring simulations such as Boston MedFlight, LifeFlight of Maine, Massachusetts State Police, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team, and many others.
