JIF , VA | It also appears that your second photo (along the bottom of your page) is "backwards" (boarding ladder hung on wrong side of aircraft; NLG door also gives this away). 09/21/2006 @ 07:55 [ref: 14251] |
Francis Pasay City, OTH | Greetings to all fellow enthusiasts! I hope you'll enjoy the great photos of Philippine Freedom Fighters. These birds has given excellent service to our country. 09/23/2004 @ 04:44 [ref: 8316] |
