Yup, they do but not sure when. Today was pretty horrible weather for flying.
My first mother in law used to tell me her memories of watching the planes fighting in the sky. She lost her youngest brother when their house was bombed too. It really isn't that long ago in the scheme of things but most of us in countries such as the UK and the USA couldn't imagine such things. Of course, other countries with more recent wars can indeed.
