Zak wrote:As I added in the opening post, all photos with an ID higher than 15,000 (our 1-year anniversary upload) qualify, so your Polar shot was good.

Boeing 787:
- Any Boeing 787, in full airline colors that we don't have in the db yet (15,000 miles)
- Currently missing: JAL, LAN, China Southern, Air India

A320 with double-tandem bogies a la Indian Airlines.
vikkyvik wrote:Not to mention, any Indian Airlines aircraft, since we don't seem to have any.
Zak wrote:"New type with airline" is more important.
Zak wrote:Nope. I don't think that "new type at airport" would require a special incentive. It's not really a combination many people would be looking for.
"New type with airline" is more important. It's good to have as many type/airline combinations as possible, e.g. as illustrations for news articles.
Zak wrote:Again a bit too special, especially since you would not see them on every picture. So what do we do if someone uploads a picture of an aircraft with such features, but you can't see the feature in the image?
Zak wrote:That would be covered by the "new airline" incentive, then.
vikkyvik wrote:I guess I'm not "many people" though - I enjoy seeing, say, the first 787 shot at BOS, or, um, the first 748 at LAX...
vikkyvik wrote:Fair enough. How about "with at least one bogie fully visible"?
I just happened to search and didn't find any, so was just an idea.

Zak wrote:I guess we misunderstood each other. I was referring to "first such shot in our db". An event like the first ever visit of a 787 at BOS would be something different.
Zak wrote:Problem is that it will be difficult to come up with a general definition for this.
Zak wrote:ShyFlyer wrote:Does this one count?
Yeah, that would work.
If it had an ID > 15,000...
