I'm a real fan of jetliners. Guess it is because for many years, I made a lot of flights on commercial aviation, and those were on jetliners. I know we all have our favorites, and mine is the DC-9. I worked on C-9Bs in the Navy for a tour and have always liked the look of them. I'm sure you have your favorites as well and with this new CD from Aero Research, I'm sure you will find either a plane or a livery that you like.

With 389 Megabytes of images, there are 161 separate entries, each with as much information as is known about the image like the place and date the photo was taken, though not all have this information available for various reasons. Starting with the 1-11 and ending with the VFW 614 you'll find all of the jetliners by Boeing, Douglas, Convair and many others. All of the 7xx aircraft are in there as are the DCs as well as aircraft like the Caravelle, VC-10 and many others.

Like the other CD's these are overall portraits of these planes with image quality generally excellent, many of them taxi shots or push-back images.  It is markings that make these planes interesting and you'll find lots to pique your interest.

I know I liked it and I am equally sure that you will as well.

You can get more information by e-mailing AeroResearch@Charter.net as they have not yet established a web site. You can also phone them at (775) 746-8615 to order via credit card. Thanks to Aero Research for the review CD.
