User Of The Year
The biggest of the awards, the IFC User of the Year, an honor given to someone whose dedication, contributions, and character are recognized by the community. Only the best of the best will receive this award, and this year, this is no different. Presenting the top three users of the year.
Third Place: Receiving the third place vote is a staff member whose eccentric lifestyle may seem unusual to many, but in reality, he’s a welcoming, helpful, and outgoing person whose clothing can be turned into liveries, it’s @MishaCamp.
Second Place: It was a three-way tie at second, with Regular of the Year @MJP_27 and his friendly personality, alongside knowledgable member and WestJet Virtual Group colleague @Ecoops123. Another VA CEO joins them, hailing from San Francisco, @ran, the CEO of ANVA and an experienced events creator also made it into the top three.
The 2020 IFC Users of the Year are @Shane and @ToasterStroodie. Both IFATC Supervisors, Shane and Danny have shown unparalleled commitment to their duties at IFATC, and their frequent assistance on the PM is second to none. Both of these users are extremely deserving of the award, and it is our pleasure to present it to them.
Well, that’s it! Congratulations to all of the winners, and we look forward to what will be an amazing 2021 with Infinite Flight and the Infinite Flight Community. Special thanks to @JarrettFlies, @ran, and the team at V1, Rotate for their assistance in making this yearly tradition possible, we look forward to doing this again in 12 months!
