INTRODUCTION
Welcome to another MILAVIA newsletter. As you might have noticed, it has been a while since
the last newsletter. So do not worry about having failed to receive it. In the last newsletter I
promised some updates. Unfortunately I was not able to live up to these expectations, so I
decided to postpone the newsletter until I did.
Of course, this does not mean that I have not updated the website since then. Quite on the contrary, there have been a number of very interesting updates. If you have not visited the website in awhile, I strongly suggest to take a look at the added articles and features. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

WEBSITE UPDATES
MILAVIA Forum
A couple of months back, I had a poll on the website to see if there was any interest in a forum. Although the majority of visitors that voted, showed high interest in such an idea, the number of actual participants in the poll lead me to a different conclusion. Nevertheless, I have created a forum. It really depends on all of you, if it is one to stay around. Flanker Family Numerous times I have promised to add the Su-27 Flanker and its derivatives. Although it took me a lot longer than I had anticipated, it is online now. I hope you enjoy it. Other Updates Of course, I have a lot of updates to report to you. In the table below, you will find the updates since last newsletter. I filtered out the updates to quiz and link pages.
