A new category has just been added: Preserved Aircraft. Please use this for non-flying aircraft, in museums or displayed outside on a pole/display stand. Many of you have been selecting "The Boneyard" category and that's not really correct for such aircraft.

Please let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks Ray, I am one of the sinners who has been categorising museum aircraft as 'Boneyard' and I think having a separate category is sensible and overdue.

Of course, every good museum has a junk pile around the back of their hangars, so when does a museum boneyard aircraft become a museum piece? :wink

Just kidding! Still, it will be good when the 'comments to screeners' facility is added to the upload page as this is the sort of thing that can be flagged up for a decision or second opinion when uploading.

Keep the improvements coming, the quality of photography being attracted here keeps getting higher and higher

Not that I can't life without it, but maybe an idea for an other category.

VIP aircraft: for the many bizjets and pizprop out there used for VIP transports.

Hi John, all,

As said not something I can't life without....

But the more categories the better (in my opinion). Especially here when you can select more than one.

The categories makes seaching so much easier (an ever groing problem as the site adds more photos), so again the more the marrier.

Just my 2 cents, Michael

Mass confusion ahead!!! So where would we put the F/A-18 Hornet, or the F-14 Bombcat? How about maritime aircraft, trainers, etc. etc. It would just get out of hand. The special categories were meant for aircraft that are out of the 'norm', not the mainline types. In fact I'm thinking of combining the Classic and Nostalgic categories as well. Another area that causes too much confusion.

Actually Mark that's probably a good idea, something I had thought about and then forgotten about again lol.

Hi Ray,

I just wanted to add my thanks for all the hard work that you and your fellow screeners/moderators(?) do in the continual improvements on this site.

Although there are many varied forums and photographic sites relating to aviation available on the internet, I must admit that this is the friendliest and most helpful forum of its kind (my own humble opinion of course).

It was a good idea about the display team category, and can quite understand that you don't wish to add too many more subject headings.

Keep up the hard work, and I hope that you still gain as much pleasure from your site as the rest of us certainly do.

Many thanks again,

Tim
