Solid article on plenty of good sources, offline source accepted AGF no copyvio obvious. - The hooks are fine, but I was even more thrilled by semitone than brain-fever. The image is licensed, but doesn't show well in small size. How about suggesting the other one, against the sky? - I fixed several instances of reference before punctuation, it should come afterwards. Please consider to combine the two sentences in a row beginning with "In flight". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
