jonbru1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Superb tribute and a well timed post. It's great to see themed posts like this. I normally tend to look at 1/144 posts, so the C17 swings it. Edited November 9, 2014 by jonbru1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
