Jump to postI did a big a deletion run last night in this thread. Why? Cause majority of the discussion was based on the lockdowns and Australian/New Zealand government and had NOTHING to do with aviation. Due to that I also had to delete a fair amount of reference posts. I know a fair amount of the replies del...
