Who are you guys?

China }, photographer,

(Except when John's in China, of course)How are the pages constructed?
We intentionally keep the pages fairly simple. We don't use frames, fancy
fonts or elegant graphics, although we are slipping a bit in that direction.
We use Microsoft FrontPage 2002 for almost all web construction, and
VuePrint and PaintShop Pro for graphics editing.How can readers contribute to the page?
We appreciate all sighting reports, even just to confirm
that a particular aircraft is still displayed at a certain place.
The most useful contributions include:
The aircraft type (as detailed as possible)
The date sighted
The aircraft BuNo (Navy) or Serial Number (AF/Army), both actual and displayed
The location
Any other relevant information
Pictures are of course most welcome. Emailing us files is the
most convenient method, but we can scan hard copies for you if necessary. Please
realize we may need to downsize them some due to space constraints.
We will write simple web pages with your pictures and information,
of course giving you full credit.
Please be very obvious in the subject of any email, to make sure you don't
get deleted with the flood of spam we get. If you include "Preserved
List", we'll probably catch it..
Note:
Please do NOT send us photos unless you have the legal right to
allow us to publish them. We respect copyrights.
What other information do you have available?
None. Nothing. Nada. Everything on "The List" came from other people or from
web sites. We do not have any other reference material or historical data. Any
good links we have found are on the page.
What about adding links to "The List" page?
If you know of a site that might fit, please let us know.
We evaluate potential additional links based on:
1. Relevance
2. Reciprocity
3. Flattery
Why are some aircraft types covered better than others?
We work on a random basis, based on whatever we feel like looking at.
The types covered best are those where a specialist sent us a lot of data.
For an example, check out the B-29's.
