ikbenik Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My fellow countrymate Jean-Marc, what an enormous collection of history mixed with present sightseeing goodies in this and all other previous posted series, truly unique and very entertaining regarding history, geography and natural events. Must be a very time-consuming activity in collecting all data and put it together with screenshots of so many different vintage planes also. I take honestly my hat off for your effort to please us all, thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
