Aussie BBJs

Thanks for the edit summary on RAAF BBJs. When IPs add info, one never knows what they are thinking, and I find it best to revert and ask for clarification. I did think the RAAF may have had some 737s other than the ordered Wedgetails, but didn't have a source on it. Thanks for the clarification. - BillCJ 15:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Infobox and references

• Your work on adding infoboxes in airline articles is good stuff, but is it possible to add references/sources for the IATA and ICAO Codes and Callsign. See eg AVE.com - originally the ICAO Code was referenced, but when it appeared in the infobox the ref was gone and the callsign has no ref either.
• I noticed also that in other airline articles you had been marking some codes "not current" (without a ref), even where there is already a ref for the code in the article. Quoting the source would be helpful. Thanks Ardfern 20:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

In conversion cases, I'm usually guided by "is there something interesting we can say about the type beyond simply recording its existence"? In this case there's this article online that gives us more than enough information I think!

Shuttle America

Milborne, is there anyone who can umpire between us on this issue? Paul in Saudi

Thank you, Milborne. I will abide by whatever the third party decides. In fact you might want to drop me a line and let me know. I am on vacation and not monitoring the net as I usually do. Also, the Youtbe source I posted might be worth your time. I swear, those darn video camera phoes are everywhere. Paul in Saudi

Hello. I saw your edits to my new Project Lauren article. These edits are welcomed because I don't want to be the sole editor of an article. I am happy to give away ownership of articles! What is the dispute in the Shuttle America article. I am willing to help. I saw the airline years ago and thought it was an odd airline. It could be improved, in part, by rewriting things like "it's a great airport". Will wait until I understand the dispute before editing myself. If I help with the dispute, I don't want to be editing the same article, if possible. Archtransit (talk) 18:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Dabpages

Hi there, when you add an entry to a disambiguation page keep in mind the manual of style for dabpages: WP:MOSDAB. So instead of:

• CAA is the ICAO airline designator for Atlantic Southeast Airlines, United States

I would suggest:

• Atlantic Southeast Airlines, ICAO airline designator

Early Cessnas

Thanks very much! Every one counts :) As you can see, the main aim is to expand the breadth of coverage for now; depth can come later (yeah, I'm an eventualist!). Almost every entry in Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation is what we'd classify as a stub. By the time we match its breadth, we'll automatically have surpassed its depth and at that point, Wikipedia will become the most comprehensive encyclopedia of aircraft ever published (to the best of my knowledge). --Rlandmann 19:27, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Pegasus Air

Hi. Given that you have added airline stub articles such as Eagle Air (Tanzania), I thought you might wish to weigh in to the discussion on a Pegasus Air article I recently added, which has come under attack as non-notable etc etc. Despite my stub arguments, a group of people are attacking it and it does not bode well for stub articles such as yours.

Chinook Pop Culture

Greetings, I am curious for your reasoning for deletion of the Popular Culture section of the CH-47 Chinook. Apparently before you voted to keep a separate article on the topic of Helicopters in Popular Culture. Since the information was not notable enough for a separate article I have returned it to some of the helicopter articles themselves. Just curious of your thoughts... Thanks, --Trashbag 22:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The Helicopters in Popular Culture was a magnet for trivia to keep it out of the articles as it was a loosing battle by some members of the aircraft project to keep it out of the aircraft article. I believe that nearly all of the entries are not notable and not really relevant to the aircraft article. Just my opinion happy to take it to the talk page. MilborneOne 22:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Discussion moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft per your request. --Trashbag 22:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

CallAir

Most references seem to use "CallAir", so I'd suggest that we use as well until and unless some primary source contradicts it. --Rlandmann 21:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

One other little tip about US engine designations - the letter generally tells you what type of engine it is: the R-985 was a Radial, the V-1650 was a Vee, the L-365 was inLine, and the O-360 is horizontally Opposed. These can sometimes be modified with extra letters affixed, so T for Turbocharged (confusingly, TS for Continental engines), I for fuel Injection, G for Geared, and S for Supercharged. The number generally indicates the displacement in cubic inches. So the Lycoming O-360 is a horizontally Opposed engine with a displacement of 360 cu in. The fuel injected version is the IO-360. A version with fuel injection and turbocharging becomes the TIO-360, etc. This might come in handy for working out redirects; the Wikipedia article should be under the base model of the engine. Hope this helps! --Rlandmann 21:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Gloster Meteor

BUT the world war two allies broke up as a unit in 1945, with the end of the war - the numerically most important ally (the U.S.S.R.) in fact soon became the main "cold war" enemy of the others. So "the allies" in this context really needs something firmly linking it to WW2. It would be different if "the allies" referred to a grouping of nations that had remained more or less unchanged for many years before and after the war.Soundofmusicals 06:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

GR4/GR.4

Hi. I totally agree with your edit. Thing is - I was about to revert it, but then noticed all the other instances are GR.4. Given the operator (RAF) and manufacturer (BAE) describe it as "GR4" - do you not think we should change them all to GR4?

As for the other (e.g. GR.1) I think they should stay as is, because I remember reading around 2002 that the RAF converted their aircraft codes from GR.4 > GR4 for some technical reason. Any thoughts? Mark83 20:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I can't claim any expertise on the issue. It's just I remember reading in Air Forces Monthly that the RAF had adopted 'non full stopped' codes because computers handled the codes better that way. My memory is 100% correct about it, but I'm a bit unsure about the story myself. Why would a full stop give a modern computer a problem? And further, why would it even be an issue if it wasn't an official designation? Anyway, you think convert everything? e.g. GR.1 > GR1? Mark83 20:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I have explained at Talk:Panavia Tornado. Mark83 21:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Concorde

FWIW the bit you just tagged is IMO probably true- or at least it wouldn't surprise me in any way whatsoever. At one point after a market survey BA doubled or tripled the cost of fares, and they went from making a slight loss, to making a profit, although significantly they refused to discuss how much; and they had also taken steps to reduce their costs. The implication is that they were making almost 200% profit on each flight. Normal profit margins are 10-50%. 200% would be essentially extortion, and very probably BA wouldn't want their customers to know this, even after the fact, for legal reasons.WolfKeeper 17:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

BA Connect

Hi, Ref your removal of the aviotech paragraph from the Ba connect entry. I disagree when you say its not relevant to Ba connect. Aviotech IOM was set up by 4 ex BA Connect managers and employs 20 ex BA Connect staff. It is the only company set up from the remains of BA connect following Flybes complete shutdown of BA connect (ex pilots/cc). This is not only relevant but also important information to be in the Ba connect history section.

British Airways Family Guy

Hi- you recently repeatedly removed my addition to the British Airways Media section about the BA Jet in family Guy. Family guy is not 'non-notable' and is a very popular comedy series worldwide. As this is an item of 'Media' which chose to show a British Airways jet, (albeit it is a drawn aeroplane), it is therefore worthy of being in the British Airways 'Media' Section (There are 5 Movies listed where a British Airways Jet has appeared).

I shall be adding the picture and text again, and if you have any problem with my reasoning, please alert an administrator. Robin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.236.224 (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Fuel Starvation

G'day from Oz. I'm not upset by your edit and will not be undoing it, but if you think the "Lady Be Good" incident doesn't belong, then neither does the Helios accident; and the Charles Ulm and Amelia Earhart references (which I added at the same time as the "Lady Be Good"), and the Ethiopian hijack, should probably go as well if we are going to be consistent. The "Lady Be Good" got lost & effectively ran out of fuel; Ulm and Earhart also got lost and effectively ran out of fuel (in all three cases some fuel may still have been available, we will never know). The Ethiopian A/L 767 got waylaid & ran out of fuel. Helios crashed because no-one was in control of the a/c and it eventually ran out of fuel. IMO all of these incidents (including the "Lady Be Good") are of interest to the aviation fraternity, and to an extent would interest the general public as well (especially those who watch Air Crash Investigation et al as a form of entertainment). When I first came across the article it was tagged as an orphan. I made some changes to beef it up a bit and to clean it up a bit, and I got into a situation with User 202.95.200.17 that you are also involved with now (with among other things the repetitive changing back to F-100 and reversions of that, see the revision history if you haven't already), and the article has turned into one which I feel I have a stake now without my intending it to end up that way. I included the "Lady Be Good" to raise the number of links and also because IMO we should remember that there are still guys out there who died in military service whose bodies have never been found. A final comment regarding a concept that is familiar to members of the aviation industry but that you might not have heard of: the Reason "Swiss Cheese" model of accident causation shows that for an accident to occur, all the holes have to line up. If one hole is out of alignment, then there is no accident. Fuel exhaustion/starvation (and I should probably mention that I was in a light aircraft that crashed because of fuel starvation seven years ago, which is partly why I made the distinction in the article in the first place), is just one of a number of holes in the swiss cheese. Hapag Lloyd became an accident because the crew initially made the decision to continue flying towards their home country instead of stranding their passengers by landing back at their departure airport, but if they had had enough fuel on board then nothing would have come of that decision. Just my two cents' worth. Regards YSSYguy 05:13, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

"Limited" vs. "Ltd."

I went looking to see what the usage was in other articles about UK private limited companies and it's a bit of a mixed bag, and some use neither. With PLCs: some use "plc" and some not, but I've not found any that use "Public Limited Company". Same with U.S. companies: some use "Inc." and some not, but I've not found any that use "Incorporated".

And I can't find anything in the MOS pages.

My opinion, FWIW, is that it can be helpful to use the full, legal name of the company (i.e., including the "Ltd.", "plc", or whatever), but we should follow the common, accepted usage -- in the case of private limited companies, I'd say that was almost-universally "Ltd."

... richi (talk) 13:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Copy of my reply on User talk:Richi - Thanks for your comments, I changed the first time the company name is used to the legal name, which for Virgin Atlantic is Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited. But that is the official name of the company as registered with Companies House. I dont have a problem with using Ltd elsewhere but we we should mention the legal name properly at least once. A quick look at the companies house website indicates that companies can use Limited or Ltd as they are the same thing, and indeed some companies are listed as Foo Ltd and not Foo Limited in the website. But not Virgin Atlantic Airways !

Dont want to make a big fuss but we should be accurate in our usage and I accept your point about common usage but basically Limited and Ltd are the same thing not all our readers may understand that. Also of interest is that normal UK usage is without the fullstop Ltd not Ltd. MilborneOne (talk) 14:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Taylor, Michael J. H. (1989). Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation. London: Studio Editions. - It was first published as a 5-volume set in 1980, and later in an omnibus edition in 1989. The citation above, and my page references are to the 1989 edition. As an aside, the 1989 edition contained a supplementary section with new designs from 1980-1989 (that's the list here), but omitted a detailed chronology of aviation that made up a large part of Volume 1 in 1980 (which is why that volume only contained 285 aircraft types) --Rlandmann (talk) 23:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Cvjetkovic

Hi MilborneOne - I wasn't sure what you were asking here. Were you suggesting merging the CA-61 and CA-65? While they're obviously closely related, I don't think that's necessary: the manufacturer issued separate designations for them, the ICAO has different codes for them, and Jane's treats them separately, both in the encyclopedia, and in JAWA. If you still want to merge them, however, I'd recommend re-writing the CA-61 article to incorporate the CA-65; I can then merge the page histories for you. Thanks for your ongoing efforts :) --Rlandmann (talk) 19:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Fine to leave them as they are: more consistent that way! --Rlandmann (talk) 20:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Flywhoosh

Hi - I don't know if you have a link to Flywhoosh. You cannot remove factual information relating to the current government investigation into Flywhoosh and it is NPOV to quote Flywhoosh claiming restart possibilities which are impossible in the light of these investigations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.222.149 (talk) 10:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I have not connection with any airline, a strange accusation from an IP user that has only ever edited Flywhoosh and White Eagle articles. As my edit summary stated I removed information from that made Wikipedia appear to be either a company or government website. If you can find a citable source for the trading standards investigation you are welcome to add it, the restart quote is not NPOV it is what Flywhoosh are stating on their website.

Cardiff International Airport

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Cardiff International Airport. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Cardiff Airport is an essential airport for the UK considering its location, the people relying on it, its routes, its role in the economy et cetera Welshleprechaun (talk) 15:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC).

Sorry I did not add any personal analysis or commentry to the Cardiff International Airport all I did was change a major airport to read is the main airport for Wales with the edit summary not a major airport even for the UK - but I have reworded it as a compromise and note other editors have also made the point that Cardiff is not a major airport. Other editors have rightly so suggested that this is a talk page discussion and not really merit the tone of the message above. MilborneOne (talk) 20:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
