Logbook for aircraft spotting

[koendekruijf]

Hello all,

I've got a question. I would like to buy a nice logbook for aircraft spotting. The logbook has to contain civil airline/aircraft information with construction number etc.
On the internet I only can find books with a pictures of the front side only. I would like to have a look inside them to see if it is what I'm looking for. So I'm still not using one.

What kind of logbooks do you use beside the digital one's? And what kind of book do you recommend, probably with a picture of the inside.

Kind regards,
Koen de Kruijf

Hi Koen,

I requested the moderator te put your topic in "The tattle lounge".

These days there is no book so good and updated as the internet. Just search the registration at Google of one of the Scramble databases and you will find a lot of information. No book can compete with that.

Hello Copter,

I understand that the internet is the best way to find registrations and information, but I would like to have a nice document where I can see which aircraft I'm still missing in my collection. Now I use the database from http://www.airliners.be but I'm not that satisfied. I can't select an order of only one airline. And when I have find out all my spotted aircraft for one company I still miss the overview which airplanes I'm still missing.

Or is there an digital "logbook" where you can see all the planes an airline has, so you can mark them yourself.

Kind regards,
Koen

Although Copter is 100% right, I too still use a book that I can bring along on trips into the field. Civil wise there are not too many good ones if you ask me. JP guides (expensive still), the Airlines book from TAHS and maybe one or two more.
Digital wise there are some good sources, but none that allow you to do what you want I think. Airfleets and Airlinerlist are the ones I use most often. With Airfleets you can easily see all planes of a single airline, but you cannot mark them. Airlinerlist gives you the ability to download spreadsheets of a large number of types, but it is not very easy to get a total list of a single airline out of them.

PS send me a pm with your email if you want me to send some pictures of the inside of the Airlines 2010 book.
