Although I have a long history with flight (and orbital flight) simulation, I only recently became involved with the online flying community.  It's been about one month since I joined and am still an utter newb in both my piloting and controlling.  But I wanted to thank the controllers and pilots of VATUSA who have provided me with such a warm and mentor-like welcome.  I hope to be around for a long time as I continue to learn and, perhaps eventually, give back to the community.

Thanks, all!
