"comfortable illumination", reads like advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.252.87.140 (talk) 18:39, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
I would like to ask if we could change the main image to this?
It has a better angle and you can see the plane from a front-side view which is fantasitc, Ill be honest after seeing the image above, only now can I admire the aircraft. The current image isnt good as you cant see much of it. @MilborneOne:@Samf4u:@Andrewgprout:

@Samf4u: how is it better? I don’t understand, I mean the red wings airliner in a passenger aircraft and the angle is better in a sense that it is a front kinda side view? And there are more passenger variants according to what the aircraft is being most commonly used as? Take the 757 the image is the 200 model as there are more of them and they are mainly used as passenger aircraft. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Hmm, if you could straight the airforce 204 out then id agree. The angle makes it harder to see the aircraft upright. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 15:25, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
@Samf4u: Do you think you could crop it? OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 16:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
The other reason I’m requesting an image change is that there is only one Russian Federation 204 (one in title image) and there are 19 commercial jets the one in requesting to use is one of them. I’ll give you it yes the current one is nice but with it only being the only variant it doesn’t show the most common variant of you get me. Take the 757 and 767. Not only is the angle good but it fits in with most common variant as well. See the 757 talk page about it all. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 17:03, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
@Samf4u: Hey man, Ive found an image literally the same to the current one. How is this image:
For me this is a big YES! OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
@Garretka: Say, could we change the main image to one of the two images above, I was going for the Red wings as A) there are more of them varients. If you think the bottom one I'd go with that. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 18:25, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Sam did agree but he said if others disagree he’d choose the original. I choose the redwings so that’s 3:0 I’d say it’s eligible for change unless another 4 disagree which would be unlikely. Again the angle is great. The livery and the variant is all a tick so tanfastic. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 22:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
@MilborneOne: Hey bud, could you leave your opinion regarding the photo, I prefer the red Wong’s. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 10:59, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks Milborne! So we have 4:0. I understand about the operator, I’m more about the variant such as the 757 image which has the most common variant, the -200 as it’s main image. For the red wings image, the -100 is the common variant in this case
@Samf4u:The launch operator according to two sources: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/first-tu-204s-delivered-to-air-cairo-44861/ and https://www.airliners.net/aircraft-data/tupolev-tu-204-tu-214/377 both state A) it is the launch operator of the Tu-204 when they were bought by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Aviation in 2 November 1998. However on the Introduction section it notes 1995, but no launch opertor? should I change that? OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 11:44, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
@Samf4u: I’m confused. Could you do that? OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 15:38, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
It is a bit confusing. Lets wait 2-3 days and see if anyone else joins the discussion, if not I'll make the change. - Samf4u (talk) 15:51, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
I'll do more digging fo you both. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 15:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
The first link doesn't state it's the first (launch) customer. It states its the first operator with the Rolls Royce RB211-535E4 engines. First flight was in 1989, and the launch Customer (introduction) being Aeroflot on 23 February 1996, based on the current source on the introduction line. Garretka (talk) 16:20, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Okay so we all know the first flight was the January 2nd 1989. Do you have a link for the introduction with aeroflot? OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
So the earliest introduction was Aeroflot? Do you have the full date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrbitalEnd48401 (talk • contribs)
Okay okay Jesus. I’m sorry that was a mistake. No need to criticise me. I am going slow, I can’t help making mistakes. I was asking for a source as in where you got that info. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 17:12, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
