[edit] Trivia Or Not
In regards to the "China Clipper in popular culture" section being trivia or not: I don't think this section is trivia. Although it may have started out that way, the section now acts as a repository for relevant information that just doesn't fit anywhere else; info that would seem awkward or out of place if in the main body of the entry. This same approach is applied to any number of entries for TV shows and movies by using the "Production notes" section to include interesting nuggets of info that just wouldn't work well in the primary sections of the article. I find it useful and interesting (and isn't that two main goals of any article anyway?). Anyone else have an opinion?

[edit] "China clipper" - 19th C. sailing ships?
Weren't there a variety of sailing vessels in the Age of Sail that were "China clippers", which is where this plane got its name from? I'll do some digging, but I'm pretty certain that's the case....Skookum1 17:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
There were clipper ships and probably one called China Clipper. However, there doesn't seem to be any other Wiki references to a China Clipper other than the Pan Am aircraft. If/when other entries are made, a disambiguation page will be needed. --Reverendlinux 11:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
