  1. I am glad it all turned out OK for you K A.
  2. Don't forget to tell us about the "distant places" you have visited!
  3. Is that a Tuff Jug?
  4. Looks like a great day was had by all ‼️
  5. That looks like a nice flight Mike. Happy new year.
  6. That XL looks nice. Enjoy!!
  7. This sounds like a nice set-up, SAJ.

  12. It does seem extremely odd that a reporter ("correspondent") aas conducting the investigation:
  13. 🇮🇹 This is an Italian-registered ICP Ventura.
  14. One of our Aero Club members died in this very sad incident, unnecessarily. 😔
  15. In war, many things operate right on the margin. The engine numbers were probably ground off to enhance the power to weight ratio.

  18. I am really sorry to hear (and see) what has happened to your Bue Budgie, Guy. When you rebuild her, hopefully you can find a hangar which is located a bit higher above sea level/flood level.
  19. Hopefully, the designer has saved enough of his/her salary to make the plans become a reality by now.
