New Production Lists

Today I have compiled and uploaded two new production lists. One is for the Sikorsky S-38 amphibian, and the other is for the Canadair CL-215 fire bomber. I have also continued work on the Cirrus SR22 production lists and have uploaded the newest iteration of the list.

Cirrus SR22 Update

Since the SR22 is a fairly new aircraft, filling "holes" in the production list has been relatively easy. As there are over 4600 aircraft, however, it is taking some time to fill those holes. The latest additions to the SR22 production list have been uploaded.

Sikorsky S-43 Baby Clipper

I just finished and uploaded the production list for Sikorsky's S-43 Baby Clipper.  For more information on these aircraft, look up terms from the following to get started:

- Amphibian Air Transport
- Fantasy of Flight
- Howard Hughes
- InterIsland Airways
- Kermit Weeks
- National Air & Space Museum
- Pan American Airways
- Pima Air Museum
- Reeve Aleutian Airways
- US Navy JRS-1
- USAAC OA8, OA11

AR Motto or Slogan

The motto or slogan for AR is "Aircraft's Family Tree".  While this is not posted on the AR site yet, it will be in the future as the AR logo and header are developed.

Cirrus SR22 Production List

I have started a production list for the Cirrus SR22.

R22 Update

I have added several more c/n's and registrations to the Robinson R22 production list.

Trislander Production List Finished

I have finished the production list for the Britten-Norman Trislander.  As always, the information is only as good as my transcribing and the sources I have gleaned the information from.  If you have more information or corrections, please let me know and I'll update the production list accordingly.

If you are doing research on the Trislanders, the following keywords may be of interest:
- Britten-Norman
- Fairey Aviation Group
- Integrity Aircraft Holdings, Inc.
- International Aviation Corporation
- Lance Watson
- Peter Van Dyke
- Phoenix Continental Corporation
- Pilatus
- Tri-Commutair

AR = airframeregistry.com

For ease of use and to save me from typing the URL over and over again, I will be referring to airframeregistry.com as AR.  This has already been used for the html headers on the web site, but I wanted to make it "official" here on AIRFRAMED.  My current idea is to incorporate both of these letters in to the logo I am designing.

R22 and Trislander Updates

I have updated airframeregistry.com (AR), with the Robinson R22 and Britten-Norman Trislander production lists.  As both lists are incomplete, I have added the * to their respective links.

Britten-Norman BN-2A Mk.3 Trislander

In conjunction with the Robinson list, I have started compiling info on the BN-2A Trislander.

Robinson R22 Production List Started

I have started the Robinson R22 production list.  Last night I grabbed the registration data for the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.  I'll be editing and filling in the blanks over the next few days.

Bristol 170 Freighter/Wayfarer Production List Completed

The Bristol 170 production list is now complete.  While there may be a few updates needed, I now have entries for all 214 aircraft that were built.  I have removed the * on the Bristol listing to indicate that the list is now completed.

Bristol 170 Freighter/Wayfarer

I have updated the Bristol 170 production list with information from the photos and descriptions at airliners.net.

New Formatting and Content

I have started a new way of compiling data on airframeregistry.com.  Instead of confining myself solely to completing a production list before I post it, I will be working on lists and posting them prior to their completion.  This will allow me to work on different lists at different times, maintain the "fun", and expose myself to more aircraft in a shorter period of time.

Note the addition of the "in process" production lists as well as the completed ones under AR | Status on the right side of the blog.  The "in process" lists will be delineated by an * (asterisk) in front of the list link.  For example, I just uploaded the start of a production list for the Bristol 170 Freighter, Wayfarer.  If you go to the "B" page and look under "Bristol", you will see an * prior to the entry for the 170.  This will be the" in process" indicator I will be utilizing on airframeregistry.com.

Logo Design Work

I have been doing quite a bit of sketching lately, trying to come up with a good logo.  I'm trying to combine all of aviation, plus the research and data side of things into one design.
