Mr tower
I do hope that you will allow some of the threads in the Campfire to come back to African Aviation or find a place for them.
Sasless mentioned the closing of forums is based on the cost of running the site, so be it.. It has gotten pretty big, so its understandable. Just Helicopters. com was the same way, started off for Helicopter Stuff, then became a comodity and now just another useless site.
It certainly has been a good ride, but I guess the potential for money was always out there.
Sort of hate to see PPrune go Away, but at least once you start charging for services, most of us cheap morons will leave anyway. makes it more Professional.
Good Luck and Thanks
