So what ? The OP said so. What's more important is that it's honoring the memory of those that perished
Well done our American cousins !!!

Check the subject line above Nilsko's post.
It still says "C".

The OP edited the original title to correct the "C" to an "A" after his mistake was pointed out...
The title above Nilsko's post could not be edited by him though.

This should have cleared things up, now back to topic again.

Ah yes. I saw they changed it. And my comment was purely factual (as this is a spotters forum and such..) and in no way diminishes the memory of those who perished in this tragedy.

The paint scheme looks great so well done to those who came up with it!
For the photographers, don’t get too excited thinking it will fly because it will not. It’s a GIA frame and has been for years.
Regards.
