Airliners.net was / is an awesome site. A sad business!
USMCFLYR:
A note though to keep in mind. On another thread there is discussion about whether the media reads the aviation boards and pulls information from them to either help formulate a story or even quote
Great point. I'll have to look at that thread. In this case, the subject was involved with airliners.net, and the tribute shown in USMCFLYR's post was taken right off of the home page. That's kind of a no-brainer, even for a media type.
How many of those types have accounts on forums like this? I don't know, but I haven't seen any posts quoted on news stories - yet. It's only a matter of time, I guess.
