Any good websites for learning about different types of airplanes?

[Jason Oliver]

I love to learn, and I see a lot of planes that fly in to where I work, and I don't know what some of them are (I can tell the Cessnas apart, but others start to confuse me). Anywho, are there any websites that are a really good database for the different types of planes out there? I posted a similar question in the LSA forum about... LSAs, but this question is more about all planes in general (didn't want people to think I was double posting or spamming or anything like that).

Thanks in advance!

Jason-

Look at Trade-a-plane.com- they often have pictures of aircraft for sale. Also Wikipedia also has pictures of many aircraft if you know what it's called.

http://www.airliners.net/ has lots of pictures and some aircraft information. Combine that with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and the various type clubs and you should be able to get most of the information you need.

airliners.net has always been my one-stop shop. And if you have a certain a/c that you can't ID, you can look it up in the FAA's database.
