I discovered this website in the mid-2000s when I was
obsessing over the history of a former airfield (Stengel
Airport). This site combined with Google Earth got me
hooked on aerial photography (also worthy of mention- USGS
EarthExplorer, and FDOT APLUS). Very glad to see the site
mentioned.

I adore this kind of websites. Dedicated to a lifelong
hobby. We need more of that.

I'm right there with you. These used to be the types
of site designs and layouts we didn't want "back in
the day" but loading them up these days is like a
breath of fresh air, like the old geocities, xoom, etc
sites.Even inspecting the source and seeing HTML 4.0
Transitional, the capitalized tags, the bunch of
duplicated meta tags and openoffice as generator no
longer gives me the creeps as it would a while
ago.It's a labor of love and only the content matters,
everything else is irrelevant! Never change, we do
need more of these!
