Since we do not claim to be an authority on any other
aspect of aircraft except maybe modelling, we would like to invite YOU the visitor to
contribute any information about the featured plane that you would feel is either little
known or of some significance.
We cannot begin to describe how much important
knowledge has come our way through newsgroups. And in that spirit we would like to
contribute what little we know or have about the featured plane and combine it with what
our web audience knows to provide us all with a collection of facts and trivia that we
cannot hope to acquire on our own.
Please email
your contributions to us and we will post them on this site for all to see.
We also accept requests for our featured plane . Just email your request and we will try our best to
feature that plane. |
