Photos
[edit]Thanks for your note! More photos to illustrate aircraft articles are always a good thing. The key problem is not finding photos, but finding photos that you have the rights to use. In other words usually photos hat you have taken or found, that are licenced under a free licence. Most photos you find in books and on the internet are copyrighted to the owner and cannot be used. If you have photos that you can licence with a free licence (mine are all licenced "public domain") the best thing is to upload them to Commons and then insert them into an article using code like like this [[File:NameOfPicture.jpg|right|thumb|caption goes here]]. That gives you a right-side of the page photo (standard) which is a thumbnail in a frame and has a caption. That will get you started. There is a ton more info at Wikipedia:Images. Let me know if you have any problems. - Ahunt (talk) 22:03, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
