An anthem for VATEUD/VATSIM: Pilots and controllers, unite!

[Matisse VanWezer]

Having all read the words of our VATSIM president, let this song be another reminder of our common identity. Let's be proud about the niche we've build and let's always strive to make it better.

Some background about the song:

The artist, Alexander Rybak, is a Belarusian-Norwegian who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009 with the song "Fairytales". Alexander performed "Europe's Skies" during the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 and at the Finnish national finals. Eurovision's mission and values are equal to those of VATSIM. They bring an international audience together for entertainment and are non-political. Their values are, just like VATSIM, universality and inclusivity.

Lastly, the music video was shot in Crimea, Ukraine and there's also a Russian version of the song.

I hope you can all find yourselves in my interpretation of the verses.

Pilots and controllers, inhabitants of Earth, unite!

Blue skies! 🍪🕊
