I know this is a bit off topic, but I wonder if we can add a program so that if you see a page without pics you can add some.

That was actually one of the goals behind GAC MyPics, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that efficiently and safely. Essentially people would upload aircraft pictures to their MyPics account and tag aircraft in the images, and the site would automatically look for tags for each plane and display them to visitors. I'm just worried about garbage and inappropriate pictures being uploaded and tagged incorrectly.

As well, would you like me to create some aircraft profile pages?

I've been looking into this for a while now, but unfortunately don't have an easy answer. The problem is that aircraft pages don't actually exist, but are generated dynamically by the server. People would need admin privileges to add the pieces that are used to generate pages on the site the way it is now, but I'm trying to come up with a good way to get around this.

On a side-note, has anyone had a chance to play around with GAC Tests yet?
