But we all definitely knew at that time who we wanted to recognize as our pilot of the year, it's
You might know him as the guy that built 90% of the newest missions on our servers, the guy that always jumps at the opportunity to share some knowledge or help troubleshoot a problem, or simply the guy who shows up in an F-15 to try and save your ass when 4 AI fighters and one or two of our regular REDFOR friends pay you a visit. Mav is a 110% kind of guy and we sincerely appreciate his enthusiasm, intellect, and his resolute eagerness to share it all with us. It goes without saying that F99th is a much better group with -=Maverick=- in the mix, but we admin types would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and put it all in writing for the record. Thank you, Maverick. I'd be your wingman anytime!
And as we've done in previous years as well, I'd also like to note that our runner up for the year is my dear friend Esonub. I probably spend more time flying on his wing than anyone else's and that's purely because it's just a fantastically fun and enjoyable place to be. As most of you know, Eso has been running a regular Twitch livestream for a number of months now and he's risen to some prominence as one of the most popular DCS-focused channels available, and he's taken our F99th name along with him. Even just watching his stream if you can't afford to get on and join is a good bit of fun. He might look to me for some F-15 wisdom time and again, but he's a much more fun and outgoing sociable guy than I can manage being myself. Thanks Nub!
