OK, rather than continuing this on the FB page where I started it, I thought I'd continue it here as this format is actually easier to read than the limited format of FB.

Regarding the formating of Aircrafts on the Aircraft page. Let me try reducing the amount of text displayed. Right now what you see is the AIrcraft's Serial No, Squadron Code (both if the plane belonged to two) It's nickname if it had one and it's other nickname if it had that. Let me simplify that to just Nickname without alternate. I could also try displaying only one squadron code for those that have two but I kinda wanna keep that as that same plane will appear in both squadron columns simultaneously if it has two squadron codes.

Regarding the Album and simultaneous popus for each thumbnail. That's the way the software is designed and I don't think it's a bad thing. Let's say someone is comparing crews, you can click on both, place them side-by-side for comparison. That said, let's try a couple things, Andy. Go to an album, click a thumb and instead of clicking another, hit one of the following keys: any arrow key (Up, Down, Left, Right), and the Escape key. Does that help any?

Links to ROH. In time, Andy, in time. 🙂

Regarding Mission 0. What is mission 0 anyway? Was it a "training mission" for Bowman? Do we need to record it? If so, why is it Mission 0, instead of Mission 1? I'll it according to what makes the most sense. 🙂

Regarding the Crew List PopUp: Yea, I'm not 100% happy with that one either. I thought listing each crew by member might be easier for helping people search, but it is a bit busy. Maybe I should just list each crew by the dates they flew? Might be easer to read. Don's suggestion of blank lines is good too. And maybe some highlighting like I do with every other line like I do on other pages.

@ Paul

Why, the "Might 8th Museum is a web page that is about a museum that might be the 8th. 😛 (Link fixed).

Yes Ed, using the arrows key is working much better !!
But... I didn't thought of that before you told me this, so I hope others will find that out too ?

Well, I might add a small help "button" later, just as I might for the Search function too.

Speaking of which, has anyone tried the Search function? Anyone find any issues with it?
