Zack, is that true or is that just you being your normal cynical English-self? :P

If it's true, do you have a link to an article? I'd like to read the full thing. I'm following this story quite closely as I look forward to seeing the -17.

Sorry Mac  :)

Weather was too rough to raise it :old:

Apparently they are doing it on the cheap, which is strange as being only one left it got to be worth some coin :old:

I am just scared if AH see raised plane they might put another German plan in next update :cry

Thanks for being honest Zack, You could have had me hook line and sinker there! Would have been a big catch!
