Our core team was active under the name Project Lighthouse during our initial two years of operation between 2017 and 2019. What had started as a group of international Ace Combat fans trying something began to evolve into something beyond focusing on a specific game series. Following our interview with Ace Combat series brand director Kazutoki Kono and covering the launch weekend of Ace Combat 7 at PAX South 2019, we felt inspired to go for something more significant. To achieve that goal, we felt as though the way to branch out beyond our single series focus and open possibilities for future ventures was to rebrand. This is how Skyward Flight Media came to be.  Since Skyward formally began operations on March 24th, 2020, the wide reach of our content has become our defining feature. Our passion for flight anywhere it can be found has driven our content to be some of the most diverse when it comes to flight simulation focused website. Our readers can enjoy content like articles about flight simulation, read up on a beloved flight titles from decades ago, and learn more about the latest indie flight games that will define the future of the genre. We have the same level of respect and interest in both study level simulators and gamepad flight arcade titles. This variety of content also keeps our staff engaged with flight gaming and simulation, letting us enjoy every facet of the genre without stagnating on a single title.  The support and cooperation we’ve received from our readers, fellow content creators and reputable companies has continued to lift our efforts. The result of this has been amazing opportunities as we continue to create content. The year 2023, is probing to be yet another turning point in our organization which has started the inclusion of real world aviation content coverage and our pursuit of sponsorships and corporate level memberships to see where our efforts can take us. As we continue ever skyward, we hope you will enjoy our journey and continue to support us however possible.
