How these pages work
Every reference page is owned by a named AeroTime journalist, carries a visible last-verified date, and links into the rest of the system: aircraft pages list their operators, airline pages list their fleets and hubs, airport pages list their carriers. Facts are checked against primary sources at every review.
Pages are added by coverage priority, starting with the subjects AeroTime writes about most, so the library grows continuously rather than launching complete.
