It great to see you getting so involved so soon. It looks like you really know your aircraft!

Warning on Carriers
Thanks for your alert on Carriers which linked in screenshots of a movie with title and data from another one !
I'm working from three types of source :
- VHS or DVD
- online video
- material provided by IMCDB contributors.
About the last one, I try to watch the movie (at least in FAST mode and so find sometimes additional aircraft or scenes). But sometimes, I'm unable and upload just the screenshot found on IMCDB. I always put on the Discussion Tab the original poster.
With the first two, I watch the movie and do the screenshot and so I'm sure of the title ... seen of the screen!
But some movies have been issued several times with different titles...
About Carriers, I'm afraid we're facing another trap : it seems the uploader made a mix between two movies with similar plot.
At least, the REAL movie is of little interest for Aeromovies as aircraft are seen mostly in the distance~and for short action. Only the Beechcraft 1900C-1 of SkyKing Airlines is notably visible with action of around one minute (or less) at the beginning.
