UTAir with the token only finds one airplane. But other airlines work fine with the token, including Alitalia. What makes the difference?

Robert, please read the full story again, including my Edit and Edit 2. The security token does not cause the problem, but the '+' that is used in cases where usually a space would appear. I think the list of airlines does not contain 'UTAir' but 'UTAir ' (with a space behind) and goes as UTAir+ into the URL like 'US Airways' will be 'US+Airways'

Ok I see, said the blind man. Just SOME of the searches get a space while others like Alitalia don't?

...
They also announced that select models will be equipped with a matching belly recess. Shouldn't this feature be mentioned in the database?

As far as I know, the following models have a belly recess:

- Airbus A400M #527040
- Air China 74H #527040
- Turkish 77W #527330
- Emirates 77W #518277-002

There may be more, I may be wrong on #3 and #4... what does everyone think about adding this to the notes section of the database?

add the Moskovia SSJ100 http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/...7#.VRqIAOHLJ6I to the list

I think it's simply an input error. Problem is that you usually can't see a trailing blank/space. Database programmers usually cut of leading and trailing spaces with SQL functions like ltrim, rtrim or whatever they're named in the database system in use.

But not an input error by the user.

a) right!
b) the database software doesn't care who made the mistake
c) let's say thank you to the people who build such a database system and website and invest a lot of time maintaining the db, with dozens of new models each month to add. Just normal that a mistake happens. I just try to help fixing errors that always can happen.

I am a retired software programmer. Thank you to those who keep up this data base. I've been there, done that with NASA.

This sample has the correct restoration, the regular release has a wrong one.

Please can someone add the model to the Database?
Thank you very much!

New to the site and this is my first post so bear with me. The entry for the Gemini Product #GJAAL1361 1:400 AAL 737-800 states the registration is N908NN when its actually N971AN.

I too say thanks for the arduous and constant task of updating the db.

I think the AA fokker has the wrong part number.
