Events[]
Aerobatic[]
Airshows[]
- Main article: Airshows
To no surprise, the aerobatic community's primary source of events are airshows, organized events where individuals and groups get together to display their aerobatic prowess and skills for a couple of days. In addition to the performers getting together for these events, these are also open to spectators. Due to the fun, friendliness and accessibility of the airshow events, as well as the fact that the significant amount of organizers and participants of these are staunch enthusiasts of aerobatics and aviation in general, Airshows have historically come out as the most popular and most hotly organized events within the YS community.
Races[]
Races are a much rarer event but they do sometimes happen in the community. These are usually races which either include multiple vehicles racing each other to the finish or time trials where the participants take turns to run a course as fast as they can.

Informal Conflicts[]
- Main article: Virtual YSFlight Groups#Squadron Wars
A significant dynamic in the military side of YSFlight is that Combat Groups may not always agree with each others ideas and would sometimes settle differences by engaging in conflicts informally, which is a significant shaper in the history of YSFlight groups as many of the most active Combat Groups formed from scenarios such as these. These may often be driven by group politics.
Historic reasons for these kinds of conflicts have often included the following: Combat groups revolting against a larger combat group for the sake of toppling its position of authority; poaching of members from one squadron by another squadron; a desire to regulate combat standards; combat groups basing themselves on ideas that are the polar opposites of each other and naturally clash; regulation of rule breakers. They usually take place spontaneously across the servers with no formal competition planning, weapon balance and player balance, which sets it apart from an organized competition or event. The significance of these scenarios may vary, depending on which squadrons are involved, how many squadrons are involved, how many players from each squadron are involved and how long the conflict goes on for. The most significant and well-known of all of these is the decade-long rivalry between the 171st and the 49th.
