A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

This picture is not an ultralight. I hate to see such a promising site fall victim to the same ignorant mistakes of the mainstream media when it comes to air crashes.

Jamie,
This is true. The problem is that at the time, we have one kit plane jpg we use for all experimental, kits and ultralights. Sometimes we fudge on the exact Boeing model also. But we will try to do better! Thank you for calling us promising! It is much appreciated.
