Many here have had some interest in movies or TV shows that feature or contain glimpses of airplanes. For some time there has been a basic resource (IMDb - the Internet Movie Database) that sometimes contains a bit of info about the use of aircraft.

Now someone has created an Open Source site that focuses purely on aircraft in the media:

The Internet Movie Plane Database (IMPDb) which can be found here: http://impdb.org/index.php?title=The...Plane_Database

There is a list by type and there might be a few that surprise you - either the type or what it appeared in...

Check out the "Unidentified" page. A lot are hard to see or identify but you might recognize a couple. There is the ability to contribute so go for it.

Have fun!
