An AirSpace user has posted an image of Ryanair's 250th Next-Generation 737-800 from Boeing's commercial delivery centre in Seattle.

AirSpace user Flyer1 has uploaded an image of a P-40M Warhawk the colours of 332nd Fighter Group, better known as the "Tuskegee Airmen". This squadron was based in southern Italy during the period, 1944-1945 and saw repeated action in that time, he says.
