Good evening, everyone.

I'd like to pass my most sincere thanks to the screeners here. It extends to everyone who helps it run, really...though the screeners have a hard job and put up with a lot, and I just want to recognize that.

I know you guys work hard to keep it running, and the screeners are key players. I recently submitted a fair heap of photos from my Red Flag trip (apologies if I overwhelmed anyone), and a handful of my submissions we're shot down. Rightly so I'm sure, as even almost 20 years later, I'm still trying to learn and improve. That's what it's all about, I'm far from an expert or a professional.

The screeners include helpful input when they reject, and I try to put that input into play when I reupload. Sometimes it's to no avail though, and I just have to write it off as a trash photo. Such is life!

I enjoy it when I do get something in with you guys, and I am very appreciative of the constructive criticism on the ones that don't make it in.

So again, a very heartfelt thanks to the screeners for your hard work. You are truly underrated.

Thank you to all of you who run airfighters.com and keep things going strong! I love it here...rejections and all!

Oh sure, rejections suck. lol

But let's be real, Ray. Airfighters.com is not a free-for-all style upload website...nor should it be (that's what Flickr is for). The rejection emails always have at least a fairly detailed reason (or reasons) for each rejection, and I can't say I recall ever appealing a rejection because, looking at any of my photos post-rejection, I've found they're right 100% of the time thus far. They're not only fair, but very helpful.

Oh man, yes! I know Johannes works very hard too...he's helped me with several corrections of my own (either adding info or fixing my own dumb mistakes lol) and I always feel like he appreciates the information.

ALL of you guys are awesome, and I appreciate each of you. Thank you, and you're also welcome. You guys deserve a pat on the back for what you do!
