By the way, the fictionnal jet is an interesting case :

is it a type in itself which needs a category page ?
or
do we link it with the SR-71 ? (as did Maskye8 in http://impdb.org/index.php?title=X-Men:_First_Class )

I think despite its lines close to those of the SR-71, they have nothing in common :
* one is real, the other not
* one is a tandem aircraft, the other is a side-by-side (+ passengers cabin)
* one is a classic aircraft, the other has VTOL caracteristics

As we think that A/F-18 A/B/C/D and F-18 E/F don't share the same page, it seems hard to link X-Jet with the SR-71, isn't it ?

I don't think it should be linked with SR-71 category, although it can be mentioned that it resembles it.

I'm not sure how to proceed with regards to a separate category. There was talk of a category/page cataloguing fictional aircraft.

Page title has been changed into http://impdb.org/index.php?title=X-Men:_X2

As the trouble about registration of the twin rotor helicopter rised, here is the source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_H ... the_Movies

I paste it :
