I will chime in here too...AVSIM is always my first stop, I applaud what has been done here and look forward to many more visits.

Yea yea well said!Avsim rulez!!!

Jason,You're absolutely right. AvSim is indispensible. I visit other sites but I only have one "home" :-)It's very easy to take something for granted. You only realise how much it is part of your life when it isn't there any more. Heaven forbid!Thanks Tom and everyone for what you give us.

Well said, Jason!I visit Avsim every day and spends lots of time in the Forum and Library.Many thanks to Tom and all the Avsim folks.

Hear, hear!AVSIM, my home away from home. Would be lost without it!To all the staff, thanks for all that you do.Heather

I agree. AVSIM is always my first stop.

has any body guessed that I'm not sentimental?billg

It's quite often that people tend to take advantage of the things we use on a daily basis, which includes services like these here at Avsim. How often do we come here, whether it is to download the latest and greatest airplane, scenery or modification? Or to share with others our talent for beautiful screenshots, that appear more and more realistic each day. Perhaps we come here looking for help with an issue, or to give that help to someone with an issue.Do we take a second to think of what goes on behind the scenes here that allow us to come here and without "logging in" or having to "pay" one red cent, where we can enjoy a very fast, clean, up-to-date experience all the time, everytime. I am sure many of you do have thoughts about it.I for one have looked at other alternatives, but, I always end up coming back to Avsim, to get the same thing, and saving alot of time and stress in doing so.The reason for this post? I went to search for some information elsewhere, and found so many bumps, potholes and obstructions I had to navigate through, I got completely frustrated. And yet, I came back to Avsim, and in the words of a famous chef, "BAM!", less than a minute I find what I was looking for.My sincere thanks go to the entire Avsim organization, from Tom through to the moderators here. You have made this place a welcome home for many flightsimmers, including myself. And not to forget all of the great members here who make it a real community.ThanksJason

Thanks guys!

I start my day off in the morning on Avsim and before I hit the sack at night, I am back for a quick update on the forums. This site is the best I have ever seen. You are "Da Bomb", as my granddaughter would say. :)

Yeah, like that!OK folks, put your $$ where your mouths are. They don't live on applause alone I'm sure! You know who you are!Cheers and happy trails . . . .of the vaporous kind . . .Noel

The first thing I do in the morning is check Avsim to see what what I am downloading today and check the message boards.Thanks to everyone behind the scenes that make it go, your work is very appreciated.
