Photo credits
Every photograph on this site is a real photograph taken by a real person. None of it is generated. All of it is licensed under terms that permit commercial use without attribution, and it is credited here anyway, because taking a free licence as permission to say nothing is a poor habit.
Images are downloaded at build time and served from this domain rather than hotlinked, so viewing a page does not report your visit to the photo host.

Policy
What this site will not publish
No AI-generated imagery, anywhere, for any purpose. A site whose entire argument is that its numbers come from a verifiable federal source cannot illustrate itself with pictures of aircraft that never existed.
No photograph is captioned as a specific airport unless it genuinely shows that airport. Where a generic terminal or ramp photograph is used on an airport page, the alt text describes what it actually shows rather than claiming a location.
Route and airline pages carry no photography at all. Their identity is the flight strip and the data below it.
Questions about a credit go to kaantokali1@gmail.com. A photographer who wants their work removed only has to ask. See also the about page for the site's wider editorial commitments.
