Never noticed this before (maybe someone has), but the “view airborne by type” query allows partial type identities. There won’t be any matches on the list, but the map does show all those which match the partial id.
For example this: flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/DC shows all Douglas types in the air now (DC-3 thru DC-10).
Neat !
(Edit: this is even neater: flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B 8) )

Heh heh, try C
If you use 3 letters and an asterisk you will get a list in addition to the map.
flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B76*
Crowded skies!
