THE PEOPLE BEHIND vETD

Meet the team.

The people helping our virtual airline and its community take flight.

Will - ETD01

Owner & CEO

Will - ETD01

At vETD, I look after the overall direction of the VA, along with operations and fleet and route management. I’m also building vETD Ops, our in-house tool for managing the fleet and network, and I’m always looking for new ways to help the VA grow and improve. On VATSIM, I’m an S2 controller in Norway with VATSIM Scandinavia, and part of the events and community team for the Polaris FIR. Before that, I was Events and Marketing Director of the VATSIM Arabian vACC, where I trained as a controller at Abu Dhabi (OMAA) and went on to log hundreds of hours controlling Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I’m a firm believer that a plane’s appeal is inversely proportional to the number of steam gauges in the cockpit.

James Crawley - ETD03

I’m a real-world pilot and have been flight simming since 2000. Aviation has been a huge part of my life, and I enjoy sharing that experience with others who have the same passion. Having previously controlled in the UAE, I’m now an S2 controller in Norway with VATSIM Scandinavia. Giving back to the community is a big part of why I’m involved, whether that’s helping someone find their feet, sharing knowledge or contributing to the flying and controlling experience we all enjoy. I firmly believe understanding steam gauges makes you a better pilot—even when the cockpit is full of screens.
