Well. It looks like I made it.

After a year and a half on the site, with a third of that being taken up by inactivity, I've been able to join the large handful of users with the rank of Platinum. I'd of course like to thank everyone who's helped me get here. @FennVectorCWA has been a great friend from the start, @GluonicGaming was my primary role model before they left, and everyone who's been loyally supporting my Signature Series have been my main motivation to keep going (and are probably the only reason why I'm still here). And special thanks to @Spikerya, who's just finished helping me finish this final push to 25k. After my Signature Series planes are all released, I'll see what I can do for a 25k special build. I'm also considering making a video that shows how I build my planes, now that I've downloaded SimplePlanes onto my Mac on Steam. Once I get used to it, anyway, since I still prefer building on the iPad. Leave a comment if you have any opinion on what I should do for a Platinum Special, since I'm making it for you guys.

Thank you all again for helping me get to this point. I'm not sure if it means as much to the community as it did when I first joined SP, but it does to me. Let's see what we can do ^-^
