Alaskan Winds Scenery Manager

It is my great pleasure to announce that AW525 Richard Johnson has accepted my invitation to assume the Alaskan Winds Scenery Manager position!



I'll say that Richard has been doing the part for a long time. From scenery design to website/uploads/downloads management he has been doing it all - so it is only fair that his work may be recognized as such.
Furthermore - and this is important to me as you will understand - Richard has this thing of being on the right place at the right time saving a lot of effort. And so it was because of it that, for instance, the Yukon Quest scenery package was possible - when I was ready to go all default! (And those frozen rivers! ...I know, I know they're Holger's, RJ ;D)



I will write what I wrote for our Chief Pilot a few days ago, as it still holds true:

Alaskan Winds has set its goal to be among the very best - and therefore we must provide the same to our pilots. I firmly believe that Richard Johnson qualifies. I will turn to him for help and support on future Alaskan Winds projects, and there will be many.
And I'm sure that if you ask him something within the realm of a virtual company Scenery Manager competences he will be glad to assist you.

Just remember, at Alaskan Winds we Fly! So I'm by no means asking RJ to sit behind a desk and spend his time with paper work :) In other words, time is precious, we're all grown men (and women) with our share of real life responsibilities and we all want to enjoy this great hobby of ours!

Thanks, Richard, my honor in having you as Alaskan Winds Scenery Manager!
