Can anyone give me an idea of the type of flights that would have been
operating from / to here around 1988 - 1992 period, and the type of

Any contact details or good web addresses.

After taking some advice from a friend, i'm seeking some more.
Hopefully someone here can help. I want to get a UK PPL and as
everyone knows, learning in the US is less costly than in the UK. The
other advice I had was to maybe try and get a US FAA licence at the

Large 4-engined aircraft flying north over Dollar about 1115 hrs this
morning.  My first thought was,"DC-4" but is this possible/likely?
Then I saw what looked like jet pipes above the wings behind each engine and
thought "Electra" although the engine sound was "heavy" and more ...

OK, just testing the water, but if I said I could provide an online  
FlightPlan Filing service, accessable via HTML and WAP, would you use it?  
Because I could have a beta version up and running by tomorrow evening....
