[edit] Hercules operators

Eric, I've reverted your last edit. When details of operators are moved to another article we are leaving list of countries, just like in C-47 Skytrain case. I've reformatted this list into two column layout and now is much shorter. In that revert I've changed some fixed width images per WP:MOS. Regards, Piotr Mikołajski 08:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Percival Mew Gull

Ericg, I appreciate your efforts in the rewrite and editing of the article, which I agree is still a lengthy and unwieldy concoction. I also noted your latest comment that also appeared in the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft. The issue that I had was not specifically the edit war which I assumed was merely the actions of a newcomer unfamiliar with the Wikipedia forum but the "real" problem I felt was the derogatory and demeaning comments made by this editor, e.g. "anorak," "childish","petty," "ignorant" and these comments were just made today on his/her talk page. I stand by my belief that the issue has deteriorated rather than improved. Bzuk 22:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Cessna 162

Hi Eric, Thanks for the links. I thought that the spelling "SkyCatcher" in the press release was a bit inconsistent with previous Cessna names such as "Skyhawk", "Skylane", "Skyhook", etc. It is really hard to get aircraft nomenclature in Wikipedia right when the manufacturer can't even agree how to spell it! Let's leave it the way it is there then and see if Cessna manages to come with an internal consensus on how they want to spell it! Ahunt 11:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Eric, I'm sorry that I don't have a boilerplate template with which to ingore your request not to use boilerplate templates, as the previos user did several times. ;) It's good to see that you're still around and editing some. There aren't too many of the regular WPAIR editors left (the really good ones, anyway) that were around when I first joined in Aug 2006, and it's good to see you still around in some capacity. - BillCJ (talk) 19:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] G650 and Columbus

Eric, I helped put together or reorganize the G650 and Columbus pages, and did some research on both types' lineage. From what I can tell, the G650 isn't really a variant of the G550, though it is somewhat based on it, especially its avionics - Gulfstream calls it "all-new". There is a dicussion on the talk page there on the issue that you might check out. As to the Citation Columbus, what I found said it was based on the Citation X, but no major components seems to be carried over directly. I listed both in the "See also" (nee "Related content") section, but decided not to put the links in the infoboxes. It's not a big deal, but I did want to taouch base with you on it. - BillCJ (talk) 15:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project

Greetings! I am working on a project for my grandfather's birthday. I want to get prints of all the planes he has flown and frame them for a board room in his office. I was interested in using a photo of your Globe Swift for this project. I was wondering if I could buy/use a high-res file or print. The final size I need is 8x10. If you had any other prints of the plane while in flight, that would be great.

Thanks so much! Liz.mckibbon at gmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.131.73 (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
