I must admit, I've never ever known about that type of plane. That's what I love about WIX, I learn something new nearly every time I log on.

As far as the R2Y-1 goes, now that's a WEINER!

Who is that guy? Can't you just post and enjoy an informative thread. Just go for quality and not quanity and everybody can get along. This is truly an enjoyable picture that many of us have never seen before so enjoy your contribution.

Happy now ?

It is a interesting plane, I had never heard of it before, guess I need to do some research on it.

The problem is, just as he did under his previous guises he posts pictures on here like they were his when in fact all he does is find pictures that belong to other people on other websites and posts them here with no mention of where he found them. If he would just post something along with his picture like "Hey, I was surfing over on xyz.com and I found this great picture that I don't think anyone has seen" I don't think people would have as MUCH animosity towards him. Although with the racist comments he will never be loved much lol.

All of the people on here like Jack that post scans of pictures that he personally owns for us to enjoy is what makes this a cool place to visit. Even when he posts pictures that aren't his he gives credit to who they belong to. Another one that comes to mind is Ztex. He posts a lot of great unique pictures that he has inherited from other people/family and makes sure to tell us exactly where those wonderful photos came from.

Another message board that I visit has the ability to IGNORE posts by certain members. Maybe it is getting to that point here???
