After having started this website by the end of 2000, I found it useful to keep track of the changes; the initial start contained 4 pages on the Douglas DC-3, one each on the DC-4 and DC-6 and one on the Curtiss C-46 Commando. Plus two text pages with general background information on the C-46 and the DC-6.
The Lockheed Constellation was honored with one page and a visit to Sharjah was remembered on 2 pages, on the Antonov An-8/An-12 and Ilyushin Il-18 one each.
And the rest, they say: is history!
