I find the wording in the hook a bit problematic. What constitutes a 'Nazi plane'? An airplane has no inherent ideology or beliefs. A better ALT1 would be ... that an airplane formerly owned by Herman Göring was used to transport delegates to the founding congress of the African Democratic Rally? --Soman (talk) 02:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds much better agreed. Although I'm sure everyone has flown on some planes that seemed to have ideologies at some points. Regardless, thanks for Alt1. Consider that the main hook for this nomination. AbstractIllusions (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

of ALT1. Dates and lengths both good. Most of the article is referenced to offline sources so AGF of hook and article information. No problems found with plagiarism or close paraphrasing in the limited sections referenced to online sources. --Allen3 ^talk 18:40, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
