Who and what are you thankful for in 2024?

Im starting pretty heavy… So please bare me for a paragraph

While I have made so many amazing online friendships with people through this community, I’ve come to appreciate @Mort and @ThatOneFloridaAvGeek so so much this. Back in march, I lost one of my best friends from highschool to suicide; it has caused so much trauma, pain, agony, grief and so much more for me all year long. Mort and Dejani have been there for me day after day, enduring every conversation with nothing but kindness, support, and damn I’ll say love. They have helped me heal from my friends death more than I could ever put into words, and I’m forever greatful 🤍🫂

Next up is everyone at ITAV! @Ryan_15, @Mort, @Mann1164, @Prestoni, @Ivan0921, @RedWolf, @Ethan_Brown, @CedricFlys, and all of our amazing pilots! All of you know how thankful I am, and I dont think it requires a paragraph to explain.

Everyone from IFAET and IFATC, the camoadrodery knows no bounds! Ive loved being part of both organizations!!!

Thank you for the tag! The Miami event was a hit!

Where to begin…

It’s been a great year Infinite Flight-wise. Firstly I’d like to say thank you so much to all of the hard work and dedication that the Staff and Developers have put in to make this game great, with three incredible updates so far this year, and one right around the corner. It has led to this beautiful creation of a mobile flight sim.

Secondly, I’d like to thank all of the Moderators, who have maintained the decency and tidyness on this fantastic forum. With them leading the way, I have truly come to feel an immensely close bond to this community. I’d especially like to thank @Trey and @Ecoops123 for being super chill guys (sorry for the amount of times you guys have gotten summoned into our GC 😭)

Thanks to all of my Floridian friends - @adam_2tuff, @whyevenbothernaming, @Justin_Betances, @Aviatorwyatt, @NonStopsAviation, @American247Heavy. Y’all are a huge part of the Floridian Sunshine of this community.

It’s been an honor to get to know many other non-Floridian people here, including @Anthony_Gulluscio (you’re only half Floridian in my book 😝), @Prestoni, @Jger, @Random_AviatorYT, @MAviationYT, @Dimitrios_TA, @Mort, and @AndrewGraham. Whether it be through Discord servers or group flights, I’ve enjoyed my time spent with you, and I am glad that we have met!

I love reading topics from @AndrewWu, @Butter575, and @T1MMY4L1F3_YT. @United403 has the best bison in the whole world, @MyGoal_isNASA is my favorite space geek, @IF.Kaden is a super chill community member, @Delta174J has some fun Screenshots and Videos topics, and @PhorzaSky I enjoy seeing all of your contributions to the forums here and there.

Finally, I would like to give a special shoutout to @Darius_Glover, who has been and still is my ATC recruiter. I wouldn’t have made it this far without him in the IFATC process, so thank you for working with me to acheive my ambitions.

I’m sorry if I left anybody out, but I think that this list just about covers everybody. Thank you all, and happy holidays!

See you around,

@Waxyscorpion308

I am beyond happy that this community offered space for you to grieve the trauma you experienced. This is not just a flight simulator, this is a community.

Glad I have been able to always be there for ya man!

Isaac, I want to thank YOU for helping me during my journey navigating my identity and being there for me when I had questions about it. You were one of the first people I’ve interacted with and I’ll never forget the times you helped me.

@ThatOneFloridaAvGeek , Dejani, I also want to thank you for being with me. We often played games outside of IF and thats how we were able to connect. I thank you for helping me and I enjoy talking to you when we had things to ramble about.

There are many more people I would mention, but I’ll make a big reply later :D

that paragraph hits really hard. I am so sorry for your loss. That must have been awful and it’s something no one should ever have to go through.
