Database maintenance Feb 14

This post was previously in the FM Chat forum, however it may be of interest to all members, so I have moved it to the site related and LOCKED it to maintain continuity.

Any queries about a picture or aircraft then please use the correction facility or drop me a PM.

Vasily Kuznetsov (IP: )

Why is that in the news? Ariana has scheduled flights to SVO using A310 as well.

Thought it was too good to be true.

The operator is FN Aviation not Private.

Jesper Nielsen

This not a TF-35 (this code only used for RDanAF two-seat Drakens) but one of only 5 Sk35CS Draken´s exported to Finnish Airforce from Sweden. "TF-35"-designation (and F-35 + RF-35) were used by the RDanAF for the Drakens to meet NATO-standards.

Type changed to a SK 35CS

Changed the details

Corrected the type, added the operator, added the registration and the category. So basically nothing was right with this photo.

Changed the type from aircraft detail

I wonder if there is a bug in the system that corrupts data or someone playing silly buggers?

There is no way that this is a glamour shot.

With a Polish civil registration it could not be Croatian AF. Changed to private

From a correction

Todd Peterson

The A340-600 only used RR Trent 500's and those are either Pratt's or GE's. That has to be an A330.

The member seemingly has transposed the registration. The dead give away was the lack of central main wheels, changed to A7-ACG from A7-AGC

Changed Saudi Arabia - Air Force: Royal Flight to Saudi Arabia - Air Force: Royal Flight. Moved a number of images from the Saudi - Government to Royal Flight. Basically if the tail is green then it's Government and if the tail is blue then it's Royal Flight and I'll wing-it for anything else!

It would seem that the database was corrupted twice this morning. see the attached screenshots.

The dangers of trusting to the suggestion from the auto-upload box and the lack of attention to detail.

Interesting comments. Operator changed, we use PRIVATE here for such aircraft. (Nice and easy and covers a multitude of sins.)

It's an 737.. Take a look at G-EZEA. It's an A319, with orange pylons. Look at the gear, very different. Also, look at the 2 antenna's. the A319 has only one at that position...

From a correction

Hi, Wallace posted in the DB-maintenance thread that someone submitted a correction that this is a 737-800, but he left it as a -400, since no-one could really tell the difference from this angle. However, with KLM, the 737 "classics" never flew wit

After spending some considerable amount of time looking at pictures of B737-400, -700, -800s and -900 and trying to guess the sex of the problem picture I would say that going by the detail on the tail skid, that it is a -800
