Official Changes to the Virtual Thunderbirds Lineup
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2008 8:46 pm
Congratulations to Stephanie "Panther" Lessentine, our new #7, Marc "Convertible" Muhlestein who, after several years as the Operations Officer moves to #12, and Mike "Cinch" Perry who will continue as our new #11.
Convertible has been with the team for more than three years, but due to real life obligations is unable to fulfill the #7 duties. He has been mostly involved with the team working as a contact liaison throughout the past year and it only fits that he now takes on the #12 role. We wish him the best as he begins a new chapter on the team.
Panther has flown and observed the team tirelessly since joining the squad earlier in the season and now steps in to fulfill the #7 job. She has shown a tremendous perseverance and patience and looked out for the team's best interest in the virtual skies from day one, and will no doubt keep the team sharp.
Cinch has had an increasingly busy schedule in real life and mostly supports the team with artwork and graphics whenever needed to maintain the team's website and his role fits best as our new Maintenance Officer, #11.
Look for the Virtual Thunderbirds to perform live in the near future with these pilots in new positions.
