Official Changes to the Diamond

Post by BonJobie » Tue Mar 20, 2007 8:36 pm

Congratulations to Steve "Gunner" Watts, our new #2 Left Wing, and to Ian "Burner" Roberts who, after 3 years on the Left Wing moves to the #4 Slot. Burner is one of the founding fathers of the Virtual Thunderbirds and we wish him the best as he literally follows the #1 jet around the virtual skies. Gunner has trained tirelessly and his efforts have certainly paid off. Where he has found the time to practice while he also constructs his full-up ejection seat is anyone's guess. :D Look for the Virtual Thunderbirds to perform live in the near future with these 2 pilots in new positions.

Congratulations guys. Having the opportunity to critique you heavily in practices, I know you both have earned it!!!!! :lol: :lol: 8) Keep up the good work.

As for Rock, he is still and integral part of the team as our #10 backup pilot. This due to real life areas that he would like to pursue this year. He is still a very important part of this team and performed sierra hotel as our #4 pilot. Burner has some big shoes to fill. :) Thanks Rock for your hard work as well.

Congrats to all of you! 8)

Gunner, you have seriously raised the bar for any future rookies, even when it meant "re-learning" left vs. right wing, which proves anything is possible (I'd be one to know, being quite ambidextrous too...). Regardless of the amount of practice it took (which I'm quite scared to find out - please do not tell!), the results speak for themselves!

Burner, as the team's seasoned veteran, you'll have to show us how Sierra Hotel Slot really is and why that position actually demands perfection while most people can often "get by" while being "unnoticeably imperfect". Looking forward to it, "Mr. Consistency"!

Rock, for being the ultimate team player and presently making the right choice for yourself and the team. Good luck with your other "project" for the time being!
