Only 5? No-one at HTC? Damn hard choices to make. Most of the names below are not based on flying prowess but overall contribution to the community or myself.
In no particular order...
Ogre - for making the first terrain and letting us all sit back in awe of the canyons and as if that wasn't enough he wrote the MapMaker program.
Vermillion - for his advice and ideas in the terrain editor beta and the Mediterranian Scenario Map.
skeet - who, (despite the fact that I had to lie through my teeth to him about not being in the beta terrain editor team), when my life turned inside out last month offered me the use of his computer for a few hours flying with the rest of you. It's good to know who your mates are when the s**t hits the fan.
Spatula and Vulcan - a couple of Kiwi's from down country, both able to take a joke and hand it back with the best of them.
Honourable mentions include:
Packrat, Jekyll, Mitsu, Wardog, Hblair, the Beta Terrain editor team and the pilots who fly in the evening on the GMT+12 time zone, (the US latenighters, NZ, Australia and Japan, we are few but furious).
