Well, I suppose I should first re-introduce myself. My name is David, and I am currently 21 years old. I am a midshipman at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. I flew a few times with the Virtual Thunderbirds way back in 2005 for a short period. I was in High School then and simply did not have e...

HELLO THUNDERBIRDS! Long time no see...Congratulations on the sponsorship, that must be quite valuable seeming as how those pots wear out on yu all the time. I just wanted to pass by and see how things are going. Now don't take this in a wrong way, but I am surprised, despite many team members retir...

Hello? Anybody home?...

Hello Thunderbirds.. It's been a while but I have been keeping up to date on all your (The VTBirds') accomplishments. I absolutely loved the pictures from Nellis...OMG you guys must have had a blast! Your site looks better than ever, and the team has evolved so much from when I used to know it, and ...

what the heck? video?

LOL

I was looking at the "Virtual Reality" photos and noticed something on the 3rd picture of the 11 in that gallery. The real life picture shows the wings flexing A LOT presumably from the great stress put onto the wings. Then compare that to the perfectly straight wing edges of the Lock-On photo. Woul...

Wow, Lawndart, and the rest of the Virtual TBirds, you guys are lookin VERY VERY nice. I can't emphasize enough how good you guys look. I looked at the new screenshots and took a look at right and left wing, and in all of the pictures, they are EXACT mirror images of eachother. Positioning is superb...

Hey Bon, I sent you an e-mail regarding my flight status..

See you soon!

Hmm, Lawndart, I tried the first couple steps that Microsoft gave from your links to perform a clean boot, but one of the steps requires me to "disable" some programs such as anti-virus, video device DRIVERS, joystick profiles, etc. I do not understand, if I disable these, sure I might get better fr...

Ahh, yes I understand this as I myself am in Stage 2, but I doubt you are exemt from tying out at this time. I think that the official tryouts are "finished" but I believe you are always allowed to try-out. But about your computer; you should build your own, it only costs about $400. Then you can fl...

Hey, Piper, I have seen you post a lot. You are all over these forums, but I don't actually know who you are? Since you are such a regular, for my sake, and anyone else's who is curious, are you planning on trying out to be a Virtual Thunderbird, or..what's the deal? I'm not trying to be threatening...

Awesome, thanks very much for the reply. I understand that I should get into the Naval Academy with what I have at the moment, but the thing that scares me is once I get to where I am waiting for that letter of acceptance, or rejection, from the Academy, that I get rejected because I didn't have thi...

Hello everyone. I was recently introduced to the Civil Air Patrol and all it has to offer a High School student such as myself. CAP is a "nonprofit organization with over 64000 members. It performs 95% of continental US inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force ..." There is a CAP...

Great, here's a cookie
