Good morning Maj. Lee, and good to see you again. First off, let me start by saying that we appreciate members of the USAF Thunderbirds taking time out to do these "AMA" segments. So with that being said, my question is this. Due to the sequester, I think an added benefit has been the increased participation of your team being involved in sessions like this, and other events and gatherings around Nellis AFB and the country. You continue to be well received of course and demonstrate the bigger picture of making a positive impact in other people's daily lives. But assuming in the new physical year that the team returns to the air, has the team begun to formulate ideas or plans where they team will continue its community involvement, obviously not as much as they have done lately, but at an increased effort over previous years?

We're here!! I'm sure G35 was looking for a TB response, but here goes. Since we haven't figured out a way to plug our seats in, none of them are close to real!! The old Falcon 4.0 platform is really accurate as far as the F16 and its avionics goes. We use FSX, and recently upgraded to Prepar3d for better multiplayer. Cheers! FSTB5"Dirty"

Thanks! My other question is this. When it comes to photography, Nikon or Canon? And with that....do the immediate staff members in the PAO that do the shooting get photography training....or are most of them just avid photographers and bring their own skillset to the team?

Good stuff! I learned on a K1000, but I'm all Nikon myself....do mostly railroad photography. If I could make a humble request....if they get some time, how about some HDR shots....I'm a big fan of that. Well, please tell them to keep up the effort......their work is definitely the eyes of the team when it comes to the media side. Cheers!

Hey Jaws....since you guys aren't in the air as much, has Deuce fig'd out any other ways to mess with ya? What drums do you play? I owned a set of Tama Artstar II's for awhile. Btw, I don't want to just thank you for your service, but also thank your family for supporting you and your career. Big shout out to your team from the Flight Simulator Thunderbirds! You guys/gals are truly a class act.
