Might it be possible to introduce a feature where the user clicks a button that generates a list of all aircraft types in flight? Each aircraft type would, of course, be clickable for further examination of individual flights.
I would just love to be able to generate the list from time to time, and browse through to see what rare types are in the air.
***Disclaimer - I spent about 20 minutes searching for the answer to this question to no avail.
Well they do have something. Try 30 mins next time. 
This may be a good idea for the currently blank aircraft type search page linked to above. But you made me curious so here are the 637 distinct aircraft types we’ve seen in the last few days:

edit: Boeing7475500, I think the OP is looking for a list of the types, in addition to the airborne aircraft for each type.
Lot o plane types!
I think you misunderstood my question. The page you linked allows a user to enter a specific aircraft type…a 172, for example…and view all airborne 172s.
I would like to view a complete list of ALL aircraft types in the air at any given moment.
For example, there may be 100 757s aloft right now, but there would only be one line for “B757”. Clicking “B757” would take you to the page where you can view all the individual 757 flights in the air.
This way, users could scan down the list and notice if, for example, an Antonov or Illyushin was making a visit to the States.
EDIT - Exactly, Mduell! Man, browsing through that list, I notice there have been AN-24s, AN-26s, DHC-7s, IL-62s, IL-96s, Spitfires, and other rare, interesting types flying around. It would be great to be able to browse through the list of active types, and spot an interesting type in my neighborhood. To the airport I would go!
XXXX, ZZZZ and TEST are unusual a/c types! (I was able to find 2 XXXX flights and they were in Canada)
We had this ready to roll out and based on demand . . .
Bloody hell. You guys rock. Thanks very much!
Daniel,
Again, you guys amaze me. I know to expect the unexpected pleasant surprises with FA, but I'm still blindsided on a regular basis. I don't think there's a better-run website out there, especially when it comes to listening to the members (who join for **FREE**!!) I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Keep up the awesome work. :smiley: :smiley:
Fantastic! Thanks, guys. This is something I’ll use quite a bit.
Ask and it shall be Done!
Awesome!
(think you could add sorting capability by code and/or name to the columns?)
Awesome indeed!!!
A very nice Labor Day surprise Dan.
Note the 49 PC-12s aloft J!
It was 63 earlier!
10 or so of them were ours.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the numbers change as we go into the nighttime hours. Lots of medium-heavys for UPS FedEx and Abex and less GA/Corporate.
This is an excellent feature! Thanks guys!

Does this feature show ALL aircraft in flight regardless of their blocked status? I keep seeing 1 F70 aircraft shown in the list but get nada when I go the F70 flights page.
As far as I know, only Ford operates a F70 in the USA and they have their aircraft blocked.
Also, would it be possible to be set up the aircraft type page so it can be sorted by type?
Yes.
That has been previously requested and is on the to-do list.
Please can we have this put on the menu, its a magic option thanks.
Be lucky
David
