Just a quick question...

With the new airfighters.net database starting to take shape I'm wondering where the line will be drawn between inclusion of shots in the civil or military categories, with regard to what are normally considered civil aircraft operated by various airforces being included in the military category only.

Let me qualify this. I have a picture of a USAF 707 on tha database and it only shows up in the military database, when in fact it is merely a civil aircraft operated my an airforce.

Do you think that this is the way it should be or, would you prefer to see such aircraft dual listed or switched to the Civil category?

Best Regards

I would say that a USAF 707 would belong in the military database. This would include Air Force One and all other VIP aircraft operated by the Air Force of a country.

It gets a bit fuzzier with planes like these, which are government aircraft, but not operated by the military. I'm not sure where this one would go.
