Re: Aviation sector once again takes another hit
Perhaps a separate forum topic area for political bickering, I see it a lot on posts here these days, when I bother to visit the 'general' section. I "Don't" care really about individuals Political view point, Anymore than most would about mine. It would be great if in 2021, not every thread gets in...
