We find it strange that you buy a magazine and find long lists of credits, but you buy an aviation database and no one appears to be credited.
FreeBird is cross-referenced using a number of different internet resources and publications. We are grateful to the owners of and contributors to the many aviation mailing lists that are hosted by Yahoogroups, as the daily snippets of information help to build up the most current picture of the aviation scene.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the civil aviation departments of many countries for their on-line registers, and for answering e-mail queries. Similar queries have been answered by employees of various companies around the world, who prefer to be referred to as ‘Anon’.
We would also like pay our compliments to those aviation societies that work hard to produce informative and enjoyable monthly publications for the benefit of all enthusiasts.
Finally the many individuals who have provided snippets and photographs for inclusion on this web site, and within FreeBird.
Certainly the below list is incomplete. If you believe that you are due a credit, or prefer to have your name removed, please send a message to fbug-owner@yahoogroups.com and we shall attend to your wishes:
