Hi Cyclonic, your ID files of pics are very good, I think they would be appreciated on this list as well.
Have fun,
Cheers.

I've placed a separate link to Cyclonic's ID Helper in the body of the main aircraft file post, alongside a link to this post.
The resources I've listed here are pretty good for confirming or rejecting an ID, but Cyclonic's image is excellent for making the first tentative stab at it, since it's much easier to compare aircraft almost side-by-side, rather than trying to flick through URLs.
My advice to the complete novice at aircraft ID would be to use Cyc's helper first, then to look it up in one of the other resources to make it positive. Although, having said that, it's sometimes difficult to be positive in GE, due to resolution issues.
Cheers
Frank

Thanks Carmedic, I've added them to the list and stickied it as requested. As Bebop says, it's already featured in the small print in Cyclonic's AAIF file, but it doesn't hurt to spread the word!
Cheers,
Frank
