Sounds like a great idea.

Besides the pole planes, will this run into airports that also have static planes sitting at them such as Schellville, Nut Tree, McClellan, Santa Rosa, Hollister, or Mather, as examples? You've got a massive undertaking coming your way Scott. Hope you have plenty of time.


LOL, whats one more neverending project?

I have an extra 3 copies of the museum guide book I mentioned earlier in this thread. If anyone is interested in getting a copy contact me off board.

I was thinking again.... stop laughing...

What might be an interesting thing to do is to create a museum list like we were talking about but tie it together with a list of aircraft at each museum linked to thier entries in the registry. What it would require from you guys is the basic museum infor including website links and a list of aircraft they have. And most importantly for the researcher to go through the registry and find the links to the respective aircraft. This would be the added benefit that is lacking in other lists and thus an actual improvement rather than rehashing other sites. Let me know if there is interest

This is a good idea. Although... maintaining such a list for the museums that are a little more fluid could be a ongoing big job. Perhaps a disclaimer like... "These aircraft once belonged to the museum. This list is not garanteed to be current." Or something like that.

My Ontario list is roughed in, I just can figure out a way to reliably link to a map on Google Maps or Map Quest. Suggestions anyone?

I have an older version of this book and love it. One reason why I didn't think another site for museums was necessary. But if it corresponds with the registry it might be worthwhile.

And Mike, as for keeping the lists up to date, it shouldn't be too much of a problem once the initial files are done. Just creating the initial entries will be a n undertaking. We'd just have a last info date like the registry.
