thank you for sharing. seen that sheet, decided not to use it my reference folder (pics i found useful). this isnt counting AMARC confirmations i didnt save (theres several i did) and the spreadsheet i keep it organized in. now color coded! the reddish brown one is the only one i could not photo confirm a color for. f16.net has proven a reliable enough resource that generally if it says it was there i believe it. with only a little reading between the lines and smaller grain of salt than most sites whats really bad is that i can tell you that photo is between 1993 and mid 1995 based on 709 in the back ground having red stripes. she went to AMARC with yellow

very nice. (note to self, stay in the 90s, no 50th TFW Block 25s) meanwhile, another skin i said needed minimal work. honestly the original was the best of the Team Viper ADFs. aaaand then i went and nitpicked. it still didnt need as much to improve. fuselage artwork on both sides. adjustment to the tail, as Puerto Rico ANG actually did different colors for the different flights. but i still like how this one came out now i still gotta hunt down that nose gear door mark....

That chart has more organizational skill than I saw in my entire government career.

Lot's of good photos in a very good quality. Lot's of planes, but also cars and other stuff. I like to browse there and I'm finding something interesting every time. https://www.flickr.com/photos/skyhawkpc Have fun.

If the income could be replaced, I'd remove the ads all together. The site is an out-of-pocket expense every month, even with revenue we generate, pulling the ads would just add to that burden. In addition to that Google has taken over the ad space and they use what's now called "auto ads". Where I used to have the ability to customize the use, that's all been discontinued. I don't even have the option of creating a user that would be ad-free. I'd have to turn off Google Ads completely. However, I can request reviews at the publisher level which may get better results than reporting them.

I think EXTRASQUADS setting in the eaw.ini should be defaulted to the lowest value. I know that they can cause issues with campaigns. At least thats what history shows at one issue.

That's a tricky question to answer for two reasons 1) As a Google Ads publisher we are discouraged from discussing the financial aspects; 2) I wouldn't know how to gauge what the impact of one person would be. However, what I can do is discuss our finances. Income from Google Ads makes up 15-20% of our monthly operating budget, subscriptions make up 25-30%, and donations make up 5-7%. That's why I run membership drives, but we haven't done one since early 2019. Since the pandemic, crazies tried to overthrow our government, Russia invading Ukraine, and our world melting around us due to climate change I haven't had the heart to ask.

Using ad blockers is not going to help the site and it will cut down on whatever revenue that the site generates. Remember that ads are targeted based on your internet usage and the sites you visit!
