Thanks Don for putting all these flights together, a good opportunity to pull the "Fat Albert" out of the hangar and get back into more prop flights. Excellent!

Thank You very much!
I believe that all of the flights that compose POLES3 have been inputted.
Please tell me of any discrepancies and I will attend to them very quickly.
