It's my privilege to announce the newest member of the Virtual Thunderbirds! I'd like to welcome Randy "Tailhook" Thom to the squad. Tailhook has shown the dedication, commitment and talent to undoubtedly make our organization and demo team better. We asked him to be a sponge early on and he's done everything we've asked of him while being a team player throughout the entire tryout process.

Tailhook, on behalf of the entire Virtual Thunderbird team; Congratulations and welcome aboard!

Boss LD

Congratulations and welcome aboard Tailhook! It's been a long time coming... Glad you stuck with it and glad you're aboard!

Congrats Tailhook! The work is just beginning- enjoy the ride!

Congrats from the "ghost"!
Hopefully I'll be around a little more this spring...look forward to flying with you.

Congrats Tailhook you earned it!

Many congrats buddy, well done.

Congratulations Tailhook. Hope you have a great ride!!!

Thanks a lot everyone! I'm looking forward to working with you all here in the near future.

Congrats Tailhook. As the former incumbent in the 9 slot, if you find my Proctoscope, can you send it back to me?

Found it Cobra but it's being used on Tail... at this time.

Thanks Redeye. Be warned... That thing was never really the same after Gunner's annual checkup.

Tailhook... A word of advice. Trying to medically ground a member of the team prior to VFAT generally doesn't work. In fact it NEVER works.

Welcome aboard Tailhook!

Congrats, Hook!
