    Planespotters.net ?

    Most folks here post to either Anet and/or JP. I was wondering how people feel about Planespotters.net.
    Anyone out there post with them, like them? What are the pros/cons vs the first two mentioned? Just wondering.

    Thanks

    planespotters.net has turned into one of my favorites.

    The ability to click on fleet lists and other information regarding the airline, aircraft type, etc... are excellent.

    I wish I had more time to upload to the site.

    I only have one photo posted there. In all honesty, I am not a fan of the overall presentation of the website. In addition, even though the screening process is faster than on JP/Anet, I find it somewhat obscure. You can be #800 in the queue, and suddenly drop to #1000 for no apparent reason. I tend to prefer airplane-pictures.net much more.

    nice site but as Rom said the upload queue info varies widely. I uploaded 2 shots once and the first was #75 and the second went to #1200

    They que their photos based on need/interest. If, say, they already have 25 shots of the Ethiad F1 bird, even a perfect crisp shot will be lower in the que than say, a new 737-900 for UA or Alaska. I have had an AA Eagle ERJ be #80 in the que (no prior shots of it), and an AA 767-300ER be #600 uploaded on the same day. Their screening is very quick, so, even if you are #1000, you are done in about 2 days.
    They are a little less strict than jp net, however, they are very strict on space around the aircraft. I like to have a little room for my aircraft "to breathe" from the borders, they want as little dead space as possible.
    Needless to say the hit counts are not even close to the other sites, but if you want to have your work on a site other than Flickr, it's pretty decent.

    I upload on Planespotters.net because they use the Pictures for Flightradar24; and in my Opinion its harder to get Photos accepted than on JP.
