[2007-08-13] New Virtual Thunderbird Selected - Thumper

Post by BonJobie » Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:56 am

Congratulations to our newest team member, Allen "Thumper" Hartford. Thumper has worked hard over the past several months and shown he has what it takes to be a Virtual Thunderbird. As we have said in the past, "Welcome aboard, rookie! Time to strap on the jet and get to REALLY get to work!" Again, well done!

Bon Jobie

Congrats Thumper,
You have worked long and hard for this! Now it's time to work longer & harder. :wink: Great to have you on the team buddy!
And just a reminder to everyone else out there - just because our roster is full doesn't mean there isn't a place for you. Anyone of us can be challenged for our position, and if you are a better fit...any of us can be bumped. :shock:
Keep us sharp! :wink:

Congrats Thump!

Looking forward to training season! It's time to get that museum piece Akers Barnes scuffed up a little.

Great work man, couldn't have made it either without your help!

I owe everyone on the team a HUGE "Thank You!!". Being a member of the Virtual Thunderbirds has been a dream of mine since seeing the very first VTB movie. Everyone on the team has gone out of their way to make me feel at home and like part of the group.

Thanks to Bon, Gunner, Redeye, Burner, STRIKER, Lawndart, Convertible, Cobra, WHACK, Rock and Cinch for making me feel welcome and for helping me wherever possible. I am looking forward to getting my "training season" underway. As so many before me have said, "Now the work truly begins".

To be honest, even after 24 hours, I am still in shock! I am looking forward to the living the "reality" of what was once only a "dream". 8)

Welcome aboard Thump! This should have happened a lot sooner, and you definitely showed how much you wanted it by sticking with it. Let's Roll! 8)

Our pilot roster is updated with Thumper, No. 11 now (and quite recently Whack, No. 9 as well). Go here.
