    I've seen a lot of issues with the interface, some aircraft are missing a picture, a model and some have the wrong picture. We could use a simple solution, users editing information. For example, it's a U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper in the Adriatic Sea, and it's picture is a C-130, we can change the picture of the aircraft (a user who's reading about the aircraft) from our own device.

    I see a mistake, I edit the image, post the actual aircraft on there.

    Abusing could be prevented by sending a change icon/image request to ADS-B staff members.

    It's a good concept that will greatly improve the site.



    It's my first post so it doesn't include tons of detail.

    Welcome!

    Not happening.
    The images are by https://www.planespotters.net/ and they are pretty good overall.
    I'd wish i could restrict not showing the picture if the type doesn't match but their API doesn't allow that.
    Thus for military some wrong pictures ... just look at the type displayed not the picture.
