Sticky Thread For MilAir VI (2011)

[TinEar]

Thought I'd jump in here long enough to at least start the new thread for 2011. Happy New Year and thank you to everyone contributing!

Hopefully, I'll get to do my own contributing again.

Edit: And I notice I added another year - making it VII rather than VI to the title. Perhaps a moderator can fix it for me - and make it a "Sticky." Thanks.
