Most Photographed?

Ztex

So...what is the most photographed aircraft here on A-D?

I would venture to guess it might be the EAA's B-17G N5017N with @ 326 photos uploaded so far...

Any other ideas?

The answer to your question can be found here:

SELECT TAIL_NUMBER, COUNT(*) as 'PHOTO_COUNT' FROM AIRPORT_DATA GROUP BY TAIL_NUMBER ORDER BY PHOTO_COUNT;

But, you'll need access to the web site's database.

There's a few (16) photos filed under N5017N that should be moved to N9323Z. I've sent a message to the photographer asking him to correct the error.

I see them Timothy. On page 13 right?

Cool! Thanks Ken!

It's amazing (to me anyway) that airliners are so high on the list.

What's up with F-WWDD? 11 profiles...this stuff is nuts. hehe

F-WWDD is one of the Airbus test registrations which are used several times on different airframes.

The test numbers at Toulouse run from F-WWAA to F-WWZZ. At Hamburg most of the test regs start as D-AXA? but they also use D-AUB? and D-AVZ?

hope that helps

Chris,

Thanks for that information. I didn't think of that. It's like the Boeing test numbers...

N1786B for example.

Amazing that 737's can fly without any engines! : :

I have a slight variation on the original question.

What aircraft has been spotted at the most airports?

I suspect Aluminum Overcast is probably a good contender. But I'm sure the some airliner is more likely.

ConnorShepard

Perhaps there should be a special page on the site dedicated to these statistics.

Ah! Cool!

The Collings Foundation B-17 "909" gets the win! Followed by FAAAAAAAT Albert!

This thread has been dormant for a while... Could we get some updated statics on most popular aircraft, airports with the most photos, aircraft seen at the most airports? There's been 5 years of uploads... Or better yet, turn this queries in to URL's :-)

DougRobertson

On another variation of the question-I venture that N240R, the Super Decathlon that was Steve Fossett's last and fatal ride might have the most total VIEWS of a single aircraft at currently today 47,838, with average view of the four photos at 11,959.5 views.

(The N number is now reassigned).

DougRobertson

A recent view count of the Super Decathlon N240R, Steve Fossett's last fatal ride was 49,205 total for the four photos here.

FloridaMetal

I'd guess Doc or Fifi would be in the top 10 now. Fifi I think was still down for engine repairs in 2011 and now Doc been up for three years with shots from everybody that goes to Oshkosh

Top airports

I would be Oshkosh is up there, maybe KLAL for Sun N Fun, KLAX, KMIA, LHR, FRA, MAN, AMS
