I was just noodle around with the folks on the talk page. It seemed like they needed an eye opener. Not a great idea, I know. Sorry. They seem to go after each other, so I thought I'd give them a real ememy. Does that logic hold up? I think it's valid in an historical context.....Whatever. Different topic; Anti-Wiki faction out there. Seems emotionally driven. Your thoughts please. I find it highly disturbing. I'm a believer in the humility to admit that you don't know it all and could use a good beating.(learning wise). I am dedicated to Wikipedia and have been for years.

Evening Ahunt: That image is from Jane's 1956 (so it may be under copyright?) but oddly has the tail number blurred out. There's more on that number on the T-T.10 talk page now: do you have anything to help decide if there was only 1 (Air Britain implication, this month), two at least (Jane's 1956), or many?

the use of third party logos and icons alone should be grounds for deletion, and the file manager image you replaced lower in the image was from quote 'chrome / chromium' anyway, so all you have done is re-added third party copyrighted content into the page.

Okay, I don't know how many permissions you have but I'd like to suggest a new Wikipedia favicon. The only thing wrong with the current one is the white background. It makes it look dated and kinda ugly IMO. I have made up a new one that's the exact same "W" but without the white background.

Dear friend, about the 'aerodyne' vs 'aircraft' thing, the airships of the '30s were aircrafts too and way way larger than any airplane or aerodyne ever built.
Aircrafts are divided in aerostats (lighter than air) and aerodynes (heaviest than air). Aerodynes are divided in fixed-wing (airplanes, sailplanes...) and rotary-wing (autogyros, helicopters...). The An-225 is the heaviest aircraft ever built and the largest aerodyno ever entering operational service, but not the largest aircraft (those were the Hindenburg class airships.)
Would you mind if I change it back? Regards, -- MaeseLeon ( talk) 14:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{

G'day from Oz; I wasn't aware of any consensus to not use "airplane". I have been changing "plane" to "airplane", "aeroplane" or "aircraft" (usually "airplane" for US bug smashers, "aeroplane" for non-US bug smashers and "aircraft" for anything bigger than say a Cessna 310) whenever I come across it for quite a long time now. Do you recall where the discussion took place?
Changing the subject rather radically now, do you have access to a CCF Harvard IV? You might recall me mentioning in the past that I have been working on one and I need some help due to an illegible wiring diagram. I need someone to get in the cockpit of a Harvard IV and physically read the idents of each wire and each terminal of a particular piece of equipment.

Hi! I looked at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Northwest Airlines Flight 85 I watched the Mayday program and it said there was an Airworthiness directive. The FAA directive required installation of a part on all B747-400s.
How do I search these directives?
The program said that there was a rudder failure that happened on the NW flight. Another happened on an Air France flight. Because the AF failure happened the NTSB felt it needed to take action. So the NTSB recommended attaching tail plugs in the event another failure would occur - it prevents rudder from moving too far in either direction - FAA issues Airworthiness Directive which required all B747-400s to receive the tail plugs. Also the program also says that the Airline Pilots Association, in 2003, awarded the crew the Superior Airmanship Award.

It is getting harder, but those unwritten types are still out there. You've done a great job this year with several rich seams. For amusement, I've been plotting the numbers of new aircraft articles each month for the last 6 years work, going back before my time as far as the stats look reliable. This year's total, 843, is almost exactly the same as the annual average. Probably the total of units produced of these different models falls over the years as the number of one-offs increase. So don't hold your breath! There are still a lot of red links in the gliders list, probably a fair number of microlights and I suspect several major pre-war European manufacturer's prototypes. Question is, where's the data? The French, for example, don't have the same book coverage that Putnam gives the UK, though there are islands like the DOCAVIA series. The pre-war Jane's sound promising; between myself and my local library I have access to most of the post-war volumes but the earlier ones (1938, 1919 and 1913 reprints excluded) as a rare as hen's teeth (or rocking horse shit, if you prefer). There is a set in the British Library in London and another at the IWM (though I'm not sure where this is geographically, probably London also) but a bit of a hike to get to.

Hi Ahunt, thanks for your help. The kokpit.aero ref I wrote also mentioned that the Turkish Army is considering canceling their option for 15 KAI KT-1 and instead are considering the Hurkus. Can you write a `future operators` section or something similar? That would be a great help. This is the part I`m talking about (I can translate it if you wish). Güney Kore ile yapılan anlaşmada, 40 uçak için anlaşma yapılmıştı. Son uçak ekim ayında TAI tarafından Hava Kuvvetleri'ne teslim edildi. Buna ek olarak 15 adetlik de opsiyon söz konusuydu.
Ancak TAI’ye Savunma Sanayii Müsteşarlığı (SSM) tarafından verilen ve Hürkuş olarak adlandırılan eğitim uçağı projesi ile birlikte 15 adetlik opsiyon iptal edildi. Projenin planlanan aşamalarının beklendiği gibi gitmesi üzerine 15 uçaklık siparişin Hürkuş’a kaydırılması ilk defa ocak ayındaki SSİK’da tartışılacak. Kabul edilmesi durumunda Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı Hürkuş’un ilk kullanıcısı olacak.

Having initiated the article on the Mooney M-18 several years ago, I confess I now spend very little time "backstage" at Wikipedia. I was surprised on a recent visit to see that the Article had changed so much. I noticed that much information was missing. My reason for adding the link was that it was simpler than making wholesale changes/additions to your article. I was startled when my "External link" to www.mooneymite.com was removed within minutes, twice!
For example, I would have mentioned the M-18LA or the most popular model, the M-18C-55 (built in 1955, of course). I would also have put a link to the Type Certificate (1948), etc. I'll leave the changes up to you. I have more than enough work to do tending the Mite Site.
Incidentally, on the other Wikipedia article I initiated, the External link to my website on the same topic is apparently perfectly acceptable, as it has remained there for years. -- Drutherford ( talk) 17:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Contact me for the corrections and I will let you edit the page yourself but tgese errors must be corrected. I can also supply you with exclusive material and pictures.

Hello again, since I am new to Wiki I am not sure if I use the system correctly. I understand about the references but it makes no sense to publish false information. I don't know where you got all your dates and facts. I purchased the assets of Ultravia directly from the syndic in 2006 (after purchasing the company's debt from CIBC). I still own all the intellectual rights on the Pelican aircraft and in 2007, I sold only the right to distribute and manufacture the Pelican to Serge Ballard (Contact Serge Ballard and he will confirm). It was important for us to keep the intellectual rights on the aircraft since we were using the Pelican to develop the Flyer SS (The sales agreement was written by my attorney Me Yves Pepin from Montreal). Kolb became the distributor of the Pelican in 2000 but presented the aircraft for the first time at Oshkosh in 2001 (I flew the aircraft myself from Gatineau to Oshkosh). Between 1999 and 2004, I was a demo pilot for Kolb Aircraft. During that period I also worked for Flight Dynamics in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu working on the design of the flight control of the Seawind C300. In 2004, I teamed up with Kolb and Flyer to produce a LSA aircraft based on the Pelican. The Intellectual rights of the Flyer SS are owned by Flyer and former owner of Kolb. A few years ago, Kolb was sold to Bryan Melborn but without the Flyer SS. The Flyer SS is not a Pelican. The aircraft was totally redesigned to include a wet wing, new landing gears, bigger carbon fiber fuselage with cargo a door, electric seats and flaps, etc... Kolb presented the Pelican Sport 600 until Oshkosh 2007... I have the pictures. In 2007 we had in our booth two airplanes, a Sport 600 and a Flyer SS (Mock-up). The Flyer will return with new modifications in 2014 but I can't talk about it in that forum but if you contact me by email I can provide you with exclusive pictures and more details. I currently work for a major airframer and I am based in the UK. izek.therrien@gmail.com

I rarely read Wikipedia but as a first experience, I have to say that I am disappointed. If errors like this can be published, it means that the system does not work. I would love to contribute and if you care about this page, contact me to get the real story.
Cheers,

Hello Again, thank you for helping me correcting this page. Regarding Ballard Aircraft, the sale was not done under a license agreement. Serge Ballard does not have any royalties to pay. In fact, the rights to produce and distribute the Pelican was sold as intangible assets with alienation rights. He has no restriction on what he can do with the aircraft except that he is not allowed to certify the Pelican or any aircraft that would be based on that design. Also it is important to note that The New Kolb Aircraft Co. (the official company name of the company includes "The") was and still is an ultralight manufacturer. Kolb never had the production facility to produce the Pelican, the Sport 600 or the Flyer SS. This is why a strategic alliance was created between the owner of Kolb and Flyer in Brazil. This alliance was created in 2003. Kolb never owned the Flyer SS assets. It was owned by its owner and as such, Kolb was chosen only to be the marketing vehicle for the new aircraft. Between 2000 and 2007 Kolb marketed the Pelican Sport 600. The name Pelican was however removed from its name in the USA to be called the Kolb Sport 600. The Sport 600 was a Pelican Sport but with a new engine cowling.
Hoping that you can collaborate in correcting the story, please accept my best regards,

I took the time to revisit the Kolb website archive and I found where I wrote from 2003 to 2005. The reason is that in 2001 and 2002 we could not get a Pelican Sport 600 as it was not ready. However we displayed a Pelican Sport which was not the same model and we used the aircraft for a market study and see the reaction of the public at Oshkosh. The reality is that we started to promote the Pelican as early as 2001. The distribution agreement between Kolb and Ultravia was negotiated at the end of 2000 but was signed in 2001, a few months before Oshkosh. At that time it was important that the public saw that we were bringing a new aircraft. Many pilots were complaining about the Sport model and we wanted to associate Kolb with a new product.
I am sorry if I overwhelm you with long texts. I might put too much importance in this as I was deeply involved in Kolb adventure.
I know and understand that you need references to back up your text. But know that I wrote all the texts on Kolb website archive you sre referencing.
Thank you for your patience .
In Brazil the Flyer SS never stopped to be produced. Since 2008, I believe that the number of unit produced is around 120. However, I will contact Claudio from Flyer Aeronautica to get the exact number. What makes the Flyer interesting in Brazil is that it qualifies on both regulations, LSA and Ultralight (registered as a PU aircraft). This gives a larger potential market for a single model. Flyer will not stop soon the SS line. A large investment was done for the development and the certification of this aircraft. If you want to create a page for the Flyer SS, please let me know so I can forward you exclusive material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.72.39 ( talk)

Dear friend, about the 'aerodyne' vs 'aircraft' thing, the airships of the '30s were aircrafts too and way way larger than any airplane or aerodyne ever built.
Aircrafts are divided in aerostats (lighter than air) and aerodynes (heaviest than air). Aerodynes are divided in fixed-wing (airplanes, sailplanes...) and rotary-wing (autogyros, helicopters...). The An-225 is the heaviest aircraft ever built and the largest aerodyno ever entering operational service, but not the largest aircraft (those were the Hindenburg class airships.)
Would you mind if I change it back? Regards, -- MaeseLeon ( talk) 14:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

G'day from Oz; I wasn't aware of any consensus to not use "airplane". I have been changing "plane" to "airplane", "aeroplane" or "aircraft" (usually "airplane" for US bug smashers, "aeroplane" for non-US bug smashers and "aircraft" for anything bigger than say a Cessna 310) whenever I come across it for quite a long time now. Do you recall where the discussion took place?
Changing the subject rather radically now, do you have access to a CCF Harvard IV? You might recall me mentioning in the past that I have been working on one and I need some help due to an illegible wiring diagram. I need someone to get in the cockpit of a Harvard IV and physically read the idents of each wire and each terminal of a particular piece of equipment.

Hi! I looked at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Northwest Airlines Flight 85 I watched the Mayday program and it said there was an Airworthiness directive. The FAA directive required installation of a part on all B747-400s.
How do I search these directives?
The program said that there was a rudder failure that happened on the NW flight. Another happened on an Air France flight. Because the AF failure happened the NTSB felt it needed to take action. So the NTSB recommended attaching tail plugs in the event another failure would occur - it prevents rudder from moving too far in either direction - FAA issues Airworthiness Directive which required all B747-400s to receive the tail plugs. Also the program also says that the Airline Pilots Association, in 2003, awarded the crew the Superior Airmanship Award.

It is getting harder, but those unwritten types are still out there. You've done a great job this year with several rich seams. For amusement, I've been plotting the numbers of new aircraft articles each month for the last 6 years work, going back before my time as far as the stats look reliable. This year's total, 843, is almost exactly the same as the annual average. Probably the total of units produced of these different models falls over the years as the number of one-offs increase. So don't hold your breath! There are still a lot of red links in the gliders list, probably a fair number of microlights and I suspect several major pre-war European manufacturer's prototypes. Question is, where's the data? The French, for example, don't have the same book coverage that Putnam gives the UK, though there are islands like the DOCAVIA series. The pre-war Jane's sound promising; between myself and my local library I have access to most of the post-war volumes but the earlier ones (1938, 1919 and 1913 reprints excluded) as a rare as hen's teeth (or rocking horse shit, if you prefer). There is a set in the British Library in London and another at the IWM (though I'm not sure where this is geographically, probably London also) but a bit of a hike to get to.
Then there are all those engines ... Here's to a productive 2013! TSRL ( talk) 11:17, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Stop deleting important facts out of Pilatus! This are Important facts in the history of pilatus. the reference ist given its out from the book in the referenclist, it does no mather that this book is only aviable in german. It fits wit the wikipedia rouls and with the US rouls and most important wit the swiss rouls (because the book is from switzerland). Because all this are projects they have to be on the main page of pilatus (only for the P-8D who was build in a single prototype probaly a own page can be made). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.75.33 ( talk) 09:58, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

The new Gatineau Park section needs lots of references to back up arguments — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.4.13 ( talk)
Ther was someone asking about this informations , because you deletet it i put it on again. Please don't delet informations about MOWAG, the MOWAG Artile in English is missing a lot of informations. Especaly about the civil MOWAG Trucks, the prototypes and aircrafttugs. So thes Informations are vital so that people can use them to create with this a article in perfect english who contains realy all vehicles build by Mowag. Without MOWAG Puma &Shark never a Piranha would have been build, also more than 500 Trucks for the swisspost is something.. all references are given it does no mather that some of them are in german language only, because MOWAG is locatet in the german part of switzerland and so not everything is translatet to english (especaly if the product was only made for switzerland and not for export). So bee patience let the informations ther , as soon as a good articlle about it is created it could be deletet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.75.33 ( talk) 18:40, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ahunt, thanks for your help. The kokpit.aero ref I wrote also mentioned that the Turkish Army is considering canceling their option for 15 KAI KT-1 and instead are considering the Hurkus. Can you write a `future operators` section or something similar? That would be a great help. This is the part I`m talking about (I can translate it if you wish). Güney Kore ile yapılan anlaşmada, 40 uçak için anlaşma yapılmıştı. Son uçak ekim ayında TAI tarafından Hava Kuvvetleri'ne teslim edildi. Buna ek olarak 15 adetlik de opsiyon söz konusuydu.
Ancak TAI’ye Savunma Sanayii Müsteşarlığı (SSM) tarafından verilen ve Hürkuş olarak adlandırılan eğitim uçağı projesi ile birlikte 15 adetlik opsiyon iptal edildi. Projenin planlanan aşamalarının beklendiği gibi gitmesi üzerine 15 uçaklık siparişin Hürkuş’a kaydırılması ilk defa ocak ayındaki SSİK’da tartışılacak. Kabul edilmesi durumunda Hava Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı Hürkuş’un ilk kullanıcısı olacak.
In addition, can you also add some of the specs of the Hurkus mentioned here to the wiki page?: https://www.tai.com.tr/en/project/hurkus — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fah112778 ( talk • contribs) 22:16, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Ahunt, can we new a picture to the TAI Hürkuş page because there is now a prototype ready (it hasn't flown yet though). Can you upload this picture as a fair use rationale http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad329/Fuzuli_2023/Hurkus4-1.jpg . Its from a Turkish defence site and they'd likely let us use it without copyright anyway. Fah112778 ( talk) 13:36, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Having initiated the article on the Mooney M-18 several years ago, I confess I now spend very little time "backstage" at Wikipedia. I was surprised on a recent visit to see that the Article had changed so much. I noticed that much information was missing. My reason for adding the link was that it was simpler than making wholesale changes/additions to your article. I was startled when my "External link" to www.mooneymite.com was removed within minutes, twice!
For example, I would have mentioned the M-18LA or the most popular model, the M-18C-55 (built in 1955, of course). I would also have put a link to the Type Certificate (1948), etc. I'll leave the changes up to you. I have more than enough work to do tending the Mite Site.
Incidentally, on the other Wikipedia article I initiated, the External link to my website on the same topic is apparently perfectly acceptable, as it has remained there for years. -- Drutherford ( talk) 17:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Calling your attention to Template talk:User browser:Google Chrome, in case you might not be watching it. I'm wondering if the fact that File:Google Chrome icon (2011).svg is on Commons would mean it's OK to use it in the Google Chrome userbox — or if our policy on trademarks in userboxes may still preclude some Commons material in a userbox. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:53, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I am new to Wiki. I found errors in your page on the Ultravia Pelican. My name is Izek Therrien and I was working with Kolb and Flyer. I did the purchase of Ultravia Assets in 2006 and did the redesign of the aircraft that was certified SLSA on the 15 of August 2008. Contact me for the corrections and I will let you edit the page yourself but tgese errors must be corrected. I can also supply you with exclusive material and pictures.

Hello again, since I am new to Wiki I am not sure if I use the system correctly. I understand about the references but it makes no sense to publish false information. I don't know where you got all your dates and facts. I purchased the assets of Ultravia directly from the syndic in 2006 (after purchasing the company's debt from CIBC). I still own all the intellectual rights on the Pelican aircraft and in 2007, I sold only the right to distribute and manufacture the Pelican to Serge Ballard (Contact Serge Ballard and he will confirm). It was important for us to keep the intellectual rights on the aircraft since we were using the Pelican to develop the Flyer SS (The sales agreement was written by my attorney Me Yves Pepin from Montreal). Kolb became the distributor of the Pelican in 2000 but presented the aircraft for the first time at Oshkosh in 2001 (I flew the aircraft myself from Gatineau to Oshkosh). Between 1999 and 2004, I was a demo pilot for Kolb Aircraft. During that period I also worked for Flight Dynamics in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu working on the design of the flight control of the Seawind C300. In 2004, I teamed up with Kolb and Flyer to produce a LSA aircraft based on the Pelican. The Intellectual rights of the Flyer SS are owned by Flyer and former owner of Kolb. A few years ago, Kolb was sold to Bryan Melborn but without the Flyer SS. The Flyer SS is not a Pelican. The aircraft was totally redesigned to include a wet wing, new landing gears, bigger carbon fiber fuselage with cargo a door, electric seats and flaps, etc... Kolb presented the Pelican Sport 600 until Oshkosh 2007... I have the pictures. In 2007 we had in our booth two airplanes, a Sport 600 and a Flyer SS (Mock-up). The Flyer will return with new modifications in 2014 but I can't talk about it in that forum but if you contact me by email I can provide you with exclusive pictures and more details. I currently work for a major airframer and I am based in the UK. izek.therrien@gmail.com

I rarely read Wikipedia but as a first experience, I have to say that I am disappointed. If errors like this can be published, it means that the system does not work. I would love to contribute and if you care about this page, contact me to get the real story.
Cheers,
Izek — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izek Therrien ( talk • contribs) 02:32, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello Again, thank you for helping me correcting this page. Regarding Ballard Aircraft, the sale was not done under a license agreement. Serge Ballard does not have any royalties to pay. In fact, the rights to produce and distribute the Pelican was sold as intangible assets with alienation rights. He has no restriction on what he can do with the aircraft except that he is not allowed to certify the Pelican or any aircraft that would be based on that design. Also it is important to note that The New Kolb Aircraft Co. (the official company name of the company includes "The") was and still is an ultralight manufacturer. Kolb never had the production facility to produce the Pelican, the Sport 600 or the Flyer SS. This is why a strategic alliance was created between the owner of Kolb and Flyer in Brazil. This alliance was created in 2003. Kolb never owned the Flyer SS assets. It was owned by its owner and as such, Kolb was chosen only to be the marketing vehicle for the new aircraft. Between 2000 and 2007 Kolb marketed the Pelican Sport 600. The name Pelican was however removed from its name in the USA to be called the Kolb Sport 600. The Sport 600 was a Pelican Sport but with a new engine cowling.
Hoping that you can collaborate in correcting the story, please accept my best regards,

I took the time to revisit the Kolb website archive and I found where I wrote from 2003 to 2005. The reason is that in 2001 and 2002 we could not get a Pelican Sport 600 as it was not ready. However we displayed a Pelican Sport which was not the same model and we used the aircraft for a market study and see the reaction of the public at Oshkosh. The reality is that we started to promote the Pelican as early as 2001. The distribution agreement between Kolb and Ultravia was negotiated at the end of 2000 but was signed in 2001, a few months before Oshkosh. At that time it was important that the public saw that we were bringing a new aircraft. Many pilots were complaining about the Sport model and we wanted to associate Kolb with a new product.
I am sorry if I overwhelm you with long texts. I might put too much importance in this as I was deeply involved in Kolb adventure.
I know and understand that you need references to back up your text. But know that I wrote all the texts on Kolb website archive you sre referencing.
Thank you for your patience .
In Brazil the Flyer SS never stopped to be produced. Since 2008, I believe that the number of unit produced is around 120. However, I will contact Claudio from Flyer Aeronautica to get the exact number. What makes the Flyer interesting in Brazil is that it qualifies on both regulations, LSA and Ultralight (registered as a PU aircraft). This gives a larger potential market for a single model. Flyer will not stop soon the SS line. A large investment was done for the development and the certification of this aircraft. If you want to create a page for the Flyer SS, please let me know so I can forward you exclusive material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.72.39 ( talk)

There is no rule two exactly quote stupid wording of a reporter. The guy is a dissident politics writer not an aerospace specialist. Referring to a project as cheap on a wikipedia page is against neutrality.

Don't remove the counter claims if you add claims (Tazarv example of Composites use is authentic and it is flying since 2002). Also refer to Saegheh discussion in the talk page before changing the fact that it is an aircraft which is produced by Iran (since no body else produces Saeghe with that shape and specs.)
