1. Yes.

1. Yes

2. Yes. I use the Registry site frequently.

3. Can't remember exactly (memory is the second thing to go, and I can't remember what the first thing was), but I think it was while searching for info on a particular aircraft and another site led me to this one.

1. Yes, but...

2. ...I mainly just check WIX and the Registry.

3. Either someone sent me a link or it was posted in a modeling forum about Gary's epic "Diamond Lil Makeover" thread back in '06. I've been hooked ever since.

p.s. I really miss Gary, even though I never met him.

Yes & Yes to 1 & 2

I'm a 'founding member' of a military discussion forum and one of regular posters put up a link to WIX with the comment 'you gotta see this place' .. or something like that!

1) Yes. Scott, I appreciate your hard work with these pages.

2) Yes, I often browse through the various resource pages, especially for survivors.

3) Started lurking around 2005, signed up and joined in discussions in 2007.

Cheers,
Matt

1 - Yes

2 - Yes

3 - Dudley Henriques suggested I try WIX to assist in researching my project. He was right on the ball there - a total goldmine of information. I stayed on.

Great site Scott!

All the very best for 2014.

1. Kind of. I initially found the site somewhat confusing but this thread prompted me to root around and figure it out.

2. Yes

3. Kept seeing it mentioned over on AAFO and WAP.

Great resource. Thanks to all the staff whose hard work keeps this going.

Scott, We greatly appreciate all of these resources and I have used all of them. It would indeed be wonderful if you could somehow figure out how to make available historical information on post WW II Army Aircraft similar to all of the AAF and Air Force sites that are so numerous. There is a huge void that needs to be filled in this area.

Yes

Yes

I happened to read an article in a magazine the other day that brought me to the realization that it is 60 years since the "honey bucket" man was emptying our outhouse at the Kooni-ni Range (Turkeyt Trot Inn) on the banks of the "Yellow Sea".

And yes to Scott ... Thanks for all you do and have done.

I agree, how about you provide me a list of the aircraft types that should be covered and we'll go from there!

I agree. There are several post-WW2 types that I haven't bothered to post threads on simply because I was under the assumption they are not that interesting here. I've got a great one waiting in the wings if you guys have an interest.
