Denver is proud to announce that our next FE is Harry Linsenmayer! Harry brings almost a year's worth of mentor and FE experience to ZDV, and has a lot of grand new ideas for our facility. We are really impressed by how much of a team player Harry is, and are excited to welcome him into his new role. Congrats Harry!

I would also like to say thank you to our outgoing FE, Luke LeGrand. Luke would always be juggling his life and VATSIM and somehow get it all done! We all appreciate your hard work Luke, and wish you good luck in whatever comes next in your life.

Join us as we staff up as many positions for as long as possible. Starting in mid afternoon, ZDV will be busy with many controllers on the scopes in addition to games and activities behind the scenes. Come and go as you please, and take part in this awesome community!
