Thank you to all for the 'welcome' messages.
I have just ignored the copyright posts for now and the post looks like an extra-aired swiss cheese
"The Green Goblin", I don't know who / what planky is but I surely am not his son. My Dad is an ex-fighter pilot (Mirage III, Aermmachi / Impala, Sabre, Vampire & Harvards) and I eventually got to complete my dream of taking him for a flight on 27 December 2012. What a privilege!!!
Sounds like the pilots are safe and the plane is being re-assembled. So it all ended well.
Looking forward to many hours in the air in 2013.
