    Aircraft size comparison charts

    I'm not sure if I can post this here, but what the hell...

    My girlfriend is kind of getting into planes now. She was asking if there's like a chart or picture that shows all the airplanes compared to each other. I've searched the web for hours and can't find anything. And a lot of the airline websites don't have size comparisons on their fleet charts anymore. Anyone know where to find them?

    Thanks!

    I have a little laminated pamphlet which is ideal for showing the difference between various airliners. It might not be perfect for size comparison, but if you're looking to teach someone, it's great.

    I have an online version of it at hom on my computer. Let me know if you're interested and I'll email it to you when I get back to NY in a few days.

    ACTUALLY....I have a little laminated pamphlet which is ideal for showing the difference between various airliners. Phil brought it back for me from Chicago last year when I first started getting into planes. :-P

    We could probably post little tips and fun ways to remember how to ID certain planes here for her.

    Has she joined the site? You should encourage her to do so. :)

    Phil, that would be great! Thanks a lot!

    I thought something like this would be available online, but I haven't found anything yet.

    Actually, my girlfriend does know about this site, but she's not a member. I'm not sure I can convince her to go that far! lol

    Its not the size of the plane that counts it how the pilot handles it....

    Same here. :)

    I bought a copy in D.C. at the Air and Space museum. I was with my god brother who came with my dad and I to spot at IAD and all I kept saying was how much I wanted to see the BMI A330-200. We didn't end up seeing it but I ended up giving the pamphlet to my god brother and while driving past EWR at night he pointed at a departing aircraft and said, "is that a BMI A330-200?"

    :lol:
