Ok,

To make things easier on myself in loading data and pictures on individual aircraft, I decided to create a brand new format on my website.

I also wanted users to have an easier method of searching the website for specific serial#'s and information as well using a better more rebost search engine.

So, I decided to create the website in a wiki format.

Check it out, let me know what you think!

Paul

question, do you think that I should open the Wiki to the public for updating?

I see that you are missing one in the "TRAINER" section....the PT-14A

Thanks, I will add that as well!

What do you think of the new format? Better? Worse?

I think it will work. Is it possible to only allow registered users to update the WIKI part?

Great question, that way I could open it up to specific users to upload pictures, etc, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!

You might also make it where sources have to be cited.
For instance, there may be a few of us L-bird guys who'd occasionally have time to help update the wiki, and there are surely some bomber, fighter, and trainer folks who you could trust not to say that the T-6 was the top US fighter in Korea... or some other kind of rubbish like that - LOL! I personally don't trust Wikipedia that much... The information is only as good as the source and references, but if you know the sources are trustworthy, then it's a good tool.

Anyone else on a Mac unable to go to the site? I tried both Safari and Firefox. Had to go to my PC where it seemed to open OK in Firefox.
