MISSION STATEMENT

Virtual PSA opened its hangar doors Late November 2001, as a place for flightsim enthusiasts to meet and fly online together. The main Goal of VPSA is to have a good time, and meet new friends. Virtual PSA is based upon the real-life Pacific Southwest Airlines, started in 1949 in San Diego with a single leased DC-3. It eventually grew to be the dominant airline on the pacific coast until it was merged into US Air in 1988. PSA had a huge and loyal following of passengers as well as employees, being known for it's fun, personal attitude; employees that were always happy to help; planes with a big smile painted on them; stewardesses that wore "banana skin" outfits clinging to their every curve. These are but a few things that made PSA famous.

History That Made It Happen

Michael Driggs - Founder
Ed Callan - CEO
Roy Davis - KSAN Hub Manager and Webmaster

2006 Frank Lewis is the new CEO and Webmaster

  • Boeing 757
  • Boeing 777
  • Boeing 762
  • Boeing 763
  • Airbus 319, 320, etc.
