          That does only mean, that the screener didn't notice the mistake

              I wondered if someone would crack open that can of worms.

              My personal opinion is that vintage is anything 59 years old or more.......

              ........but that's only because I'm 58 years old.
              If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

                Exactly my question. What to this site is Vintage? To me certainly aircraft built in the 80s are not.

                  This link might help to solve part of the question...http://www.russellw.com/photoalbum/biases_and_rules.htm

                  Basically, up to 1950 ( Airliner and GA ) = vintage.

                  I think there may be a good reason to now include a "Classic" airliner category( Airliners only, not GA aircraft ) . Such a category could be defined as "Airliners produced between 1950 and 1970"

                  Discuss ?

                    Personaly aeroplanes over 30 years old are vintage, so anything build before 1976. So generaly speeking anything built after the mid 70s is not vintage.

                      Thanks again. Both pics are online now.

                      [photoid=6018005] [photoid=6018001]

                      By the way, I saw that this thread was moved from Site Related to here? Did I really posted in the wrong forum? Thought I was in the Av Photo Forum.

                        Yak-18s are clearly vintage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-18

                        Planes designed in the 40's-50's are vintage imo, but there will always be grey areas like a kc-135 built in 1956 in USAF service (there are quiet a few of those old ones in service in 2007...)... is it vintage ? for 95% of people it wouldn't but if you think it was built 51 years ago... well, and we do consider Travolta's 707 as vintage so...
                        This example is to show you that it's really hard to have a fixed time line. If you have a doubt, please leave a note to the screener to tell him or her that you're not sure. we will always consider those borderline cases and most probably we won't reject it only for that reason (category)

                        Best Regards
                        Alex

                          Hi Alex - food for thought. Perhaps the JP Crew can set a standard and stipulate what is considered as Vintage/Classic etc. This then alows "us guys" to tick the appropriate box and we all conform to a set standard. What the "set standard" actually is - can be debated and agreed by the Crew - afterall it is "our" database of aircraft.

                          Also, if we have a boarderline case where one is not exactly sure - and with the comment to the screener - the screener can make a judgement call and tick the appropriate box and publish.

                            Also what frustrates me is the upload page does not always seem to remember the categorys ticked for a registration. If this was consistant it would make it alot easier for people to get the correct categorys.

                              Hi. It's me again and after I got some category rejections lately I have to ask if these are Warbirds too?

                              [photoid=6041545]

                              In my eyes no, but I'm not sure and b/c I have many more pics from this Museum I ask the Pro's here.

                              Thanks.
