Saab 35 Draken

Troll attack has wiped out this article. Can you block the troll? Bzuk 20:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC).

NAL Hansa

I have recreated the article. I hope it is better now. I have used the NAL website as a source. I hope that is fine. Kaushal mehta 17:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

sorry I cant add the sanskrit text, will ask some of my friends to do it. Thanks for the appreciation. ciao Kaushal mehta 17:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Bellanca 28-90

M. Rlandmann, can you check on this article, I hope I have made appropriate changes to the article you originated. FWIW, I will also do up an article on the earlier Bellanca 28-70. Bzuk 00:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

Further to the illustration, I know some of them have awkward provenances but this one seemed to be home-made and that is why I used it. As to the external links, the reason I moved them out of references is that I more-or-less completely re-wrote the article from my own sources but wanted to have the original sources still around. FWIW Bzuk 01:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

BTW, did you see where the Bellancas ended up? Weird! Bzuk.

Okay, I will start searching for another image. It is possible that an image might exist somewhere that a US government employee may have made of the US Navy versions. Bzuk 01:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

I have also added a new connecting article, the Bellanca 28-70 to complement the other article. Bzuk 03:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

Since the aircraft had an Irish heritage, I made the link that the photo was taken by Col. Fitzmaurice or Eric Bonar. The markings "EI" were applied just prior to departure and you are correct that it was taken in New York, I didn't notice that caption, being dazzled by the Irish markings! Oh Well, I'll keep searching. FWIW, in my other life I was a graphic artist, maybe time to unleash those rusty old skills. Bzuk 04:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC).

Year in aviation issue again

We discussed about Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Easter egg links (year in aviation) in user box few days ago and we have today User:M Van Houten who is forcing his POV against WP:AIR's page content guidelines. I've reverted his edits in following articles:

• Eurocopter Ecureuil
• Sopwith Dolphin
• Yakovlev Yak-23
• Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21
• Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17

As you could see I've added comment in these reverts but looking at history of cooperaton with this user I think he will make the same edits once again here or in another articles. I'm not sure what to do with that. Regards, Piotr Mikołajski 18:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Bird Innovator

I saw your note to User:MilborneOne with the quote; "is there something interesting we can say about the type beyond simply recording its existence". Sometimes the mere 'existence' and 'dry facts' of an airplane type are enough to quench my curiosity as I click through. So I just assumed other readers felt the same. I didn't think we were supposed to restrict ourselves to only articles that could become features. I'm happy when I can find anything at all about some of these old aircraft. Besides I hope that other editors will see something they can add to a basic article (I try for at least B-class) without going through the drudgery of infoboxes, images, structure, reflist tags, wkifying, and categories. That said, I have thought of merging the P-2 Hawk & P-3 Hawk articles into the P-1 Hawk article because I don't think there is enough new information out there about them that could take them past a stub-class. I could easily be wrong, and I may never get that far down my ToDo list, we'll see. Oh, and if I took the quote completely out of context, please set me straight, after all I was eves-dropping on the talk page. --Colputt 23:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I think I will try that {{subst:aircraft-imp}} on the Consolidated P-11 article I'm working on off-line. Thanks for the tip. I have been cut-n-pasteing my way through the edit process. --Colputt 00:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

British Aircraft Swallow/Klemm L.25

I see your point about possibly including this article to include the Klemm (and presumably moving it to Klemm L.25) this would be logcal - the problem is I havn't got good sources on the Klemm itself - which would tend to make any merged article unbalanced. I'll see if I can find some better sources.Nigel Ish 16:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
