Yikes.  Folks, we have to be really, REALLY careful about this kind of
thing.  Are we absolutely, 100% sure we know the authorship and
copyright ownership on this thing?  All of it?  If not, it just can't
go into the base package.  My fear is that other parts will turn out
to be screenshots from MSFS too...

At a mimimum, I'd suggest getting documents frmo Hans-Georg and George
Carty attesting to ownership and including them in the Aircraft
directory.  Copyright infringement, even unintentional, is no joke.
