Johnny Sadiq, Saad Asad Cheema (forum member airblue) and Sameer Haqqi (forum member connieman). Our thanks to all our contributors for their selfless contributions for the development of Pakistani aviation and flight simulation.

My pleasure Ahmed, it was great to work with you and looking forward to working more with you IA.

Guys the Connie Ahmed mentioned is Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) ex-CF-TGE aircraft fin# 405, this aircraft has real fascinating story and a real saga it went through after retiring from active TCA's service behind it. I'm sure guys among us who like preserving historical artifacts will love it and others will like to read what it took to finally preserve TGE in a world class museum. My rc model of S Connie is connected to this story also, hence why i built it on first place.
