Greetings all -- please welcome Aaron Essary, VATSTAR's newest Instructor, to the staff! Aaron joined VATSIM in 2010 and has logged over 1200 pilot hours on the network; prior to that, he was active (as was yours truly) with FlightGear Flight Simulator. There he logged many hundreds more hours, was a regular in online events, and founded a successful VA within the community. Aaron holds the P1 and P2 Pilot Ratings and is well-versed in airliners, but does a good amount of GA flying as well, all in both the US and Europe. I'm very pleased to welcome an old friend to the VATSTAR team and I know he will become a wonderful asset to our Students!
