I'm not sure if I can post this here, but what the hell...
My girlfriend is kind of getting into planes now. She was asking if there's like a chart or picture that shows all the airplanes compared to each other. I've searched the web for hours and can't find anything. And a lot of the airline websites don't have size comparisons on their fleet charts anymore. Anyone know where to find them?
Thanks!
I have a little laminated pamphlet which is ideal for showing the difference between various airliners. It might not be perfect for size comparison, but if you're looking to teach someone, it's great.
I have an online version of it at hom on my computer. Let me know if you're interested and I'll email it to you when I get back to NY in a few days.
ACTUALLY....I have a little laminated pamphlet which is ideal for showing the difference between various airliners. Phil brought it back for me from Chicago last year when I first started getting into planes. :-PQuote:

Has she joined the site? You should encourage her to do so. :)
Phil, that would be great! Thanks a lot!
I thought something like this would be available online, but I haven't found anything yet.
Actually, my girlfriend does know about this site, but she's not a member. I'm not sure I can convince her to go that far! lol
Its not the size of the plane that counts it how the pilot handles it....
Phil, this is great! Thanks a lot! I owe you one!
So where is guide 4???
DHS won't let me post it. :-p
I don't know, actually. I got those years ago and never got #4.
Hehe, I have that pamphlet too! :D
Same here. :)Quote:

We didn't end up seeing it but I ended up giving the pamphlet to my god brother and while driving past EWR at night he pointed at a departing aircraft and said, "is that a BMI A330-200?"
:lol:
WHAT????? Are you joking??? That is where I got mine too!!! Wow!Quote:

Mike, he posted it above!
Phil, I actually have the planespotting guide, I ordered it off the boeing store it really helps even though I memorized it
Some airlines, like AC, have a fleet page on their web site with a comparison of their aircraft.

Can you share the website for this? I'm trying to compile a library of aircraft identification sites, etc. Thanks.Quote:

Mike,
Check this out, too: http://www.pilotshopusa.com/asp/product ... &PT_ID=all
This is the site for "The Pilot Shop" in Baldwin. I was there just the other day and saw a few of these pamphlets (for military a/c as well), so you can run by and pick one up. Excellent store!

Possibility of different editions here, I wonder? Still I'll probably order both items to be sure. Many thanks.

PS You mentioned their having military aircraft pamphlets as well?
