Just wondering. I noticed American Airlines seems to have the largest fleet of aircraft ( about 600). It seems the next is Fed Ex(about 500). United is close. What other airlines are in this mix? Just a wonder. The amount of bucks in these fleets.

So I guess we can agree AA is #1 with Fed Ex #2 and United #5. Third and 4th place are up for grabs.
Funny how something so simple can be so hard to be consistent about on different web sites.

No, that second list I posted is also fleet size. I doubt Fed Ex and UPS would be in the top 5 of pax carried airlines. Unless packing people into containers for long hauls is the future of air travel.

Take a hike. I hate it when bozos say that. Many Wikipedia articles use reputable sources and list references, so to make such a blanket statement shows a lack of perspective.

And half of those are MD-80s. This is why I think the Mad Dogs will be around for awhile, maybe another decade.

You need to chill. Right now I can get on that site and alter any or all that information. It is not controlled, it is not secure. Wikipedia is only an open bulletin board where anyone with a computer can place information that they deam to be true and factual. It is not checked...... it is not edited.

But 99 times out of 100, it is extremely accurate, and informative.
Sure anybody can alter the information, but who is going to be sad enough to go onto all of these pages and write crap? The fact that anybody can edit it, just means that it is more up to date than a standard encyclopedia.

Quoting DavidT (Reply 17): During the Soviet era Aeroflot may have been the largest as (I think) every soviet aircraft was registered under the name. How big are they today?
According to the Aeroflot website the airline has a fleet of 79 aircraft. (Excluding Aeroflot-Don/Aeroflot-Nord)

Not true at all. They list references and where they get it information.
Quoting N328KF (Reply 8): . Many Wikipedia articles use reputable sources and list references, so to make such a blanket statement shows a lack of perspective
Not true, there is a system where it weeds out non-factual information.
Quoting EMBQA (Reply 19): Wikipedia is only an open bulletin board where anyone with a computer can place information
This is very true, heck I even do it sometimes, but in order for something posted to Wikipedia to stay on there, it must be varified as true. That site is very usefull when doing light research when you just need to find a quick fact.
Wikipedia has its' down falls, as do all sites, but it is very factual.

I have never heard of the Cessna 308... I think that is supposed to be the Cessna 208 opperated by the feeder lines for FX.
