Hi there A.net freaks
Was curious to know your stories on how you first found this site?
I was working on a college project which had to be a choice of our own. I done mine on Aviation and I needed some stats for a few Aircraft. I done a search through google and I came across this site!
Instead of actually completing the task in hand I spent that entire period looking at these fantastic pictures etc

Hello All,
I actually found someone referring to this place on their post in Jetphotos.com - even though i'm still not a member of Jetphotos. I thought it would be best to join the larger well known site - I'm not disappointed!

A search for airliner pics(probably) on a search engine, can't remember which.
I have known of the site for years, it wasn't until late last year I started to get more interested, then decided to join in January.

During the theoretical phase of our training our enthusiast teachers used loads of pictures to illustrate whatever they were explaining. That's how I got to know it.

I had just moved to CMF, and looked up their website to see what aircraft was doing the CMF-ORY line. I saw it was an Embraer 120, and I said "WTF is an Embraer ?". Typed Embraer in altavista, and voila...
However, it took me well over 4 or 5 months to join

A non member friend told me about A.net and said there were some cool pictures on it. This was back in mid to late 2001. Even though I joined in 2003, I've been here a while.
