Flight sim community sends off a dying simmer in best way

Featured Replies

I didn't see this posted anywhere.. 

Two days ago a simple request was made on Reddits /r/flightsim by a user whos grandfather was dying. I  invite you all to read this thread and watch the most beautiful thing the flight simming community has ever put together to send off a fellow simmer. 

Need someone to stream a flight, AA#1121, this Thursday. Will pay. : flightsim (reddit.com)

In the end. 65 fellow simmers, and ATC volunteers sent this veteran simmer the best send off he could have..  

CptCanada stream of this beautiful event can be seen here

What a lovely gesture from the community

It was literally the most amazing thing I've ever seen this community do. A screenshot of everyone lined up  ready to send this virtual captain off

This is so cool, for many of us Flight Sim has been a constant for decades now, this is a great gesture

I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me 

That is absolutely incredible…I also helped my grandfather get into flightsimming years ago as a winter hobby so this hits home (he passed about 5 years ago).

For all the craziness and conflict that goes on, stuff like this is a great reminder of how much good there is in the world.
