The Virtual Thunderbird team is announce Daniel "Panic" Clark as our newest team member. He is an avid military aviation and virtual air show enthusiast since the early 2010s. He has been given the #3 position, the Right Wing, for the 2024 show season.
Panic is one of the very few Virtual Thunderbirds to have also flown for the Virtual Blue Angels, alongside alumni such as Ian "Burner" Roberts. After being inspired by attending his local air show, Panic has chased the adrenaline and excitement found in many aspects of the virtual air show community. Over the years, he has continued to let his experience fuel his passion to strive for excellence, ultimately driving him to become a candidate for the Virtual Thunderbirds. Since his introductory sorties in January of this year, Panic has demonstrated exceptional flying skill, incredible teamwork, and has displayed an unrelenting will to learn while being a very descriptive, informative, and valuable individual in the debrief.
This year, while the jet he flies may not be blue and gold, you will catch him on the right wing of the Diamond formation displaying that same level of excellence and expertise as he flies only 18 inches apart from wingtip to canopy.
Join us in officially congratulating and welcoming Panic to the team!
