Friends,

Sadly, bad news. Just a short while after his last announcement, AVSIM Founder Tom Allensworth has passed away due to afflictions that have been with him for a while.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Thanks for everything Tom

Wishing you clear skies in the wild blue yonder,

Chris

Yes, very sad. He and Nels took simming from a bulletin board/FTP file library environment to the next level. I met him at the AVSIM conference held here in San Diego (in the Aerospace Museum). A real nice guy.

My condolences,

Very sad to hear. He was with FS from the beginning. When others might have given up and just let AVSIM die after the hacking in 2009, he persevered and restored the site, and ran a fine forum. Kudos!

Condolences to his friends and family,

Mike
