This app gives you direct access to the Spottingmode plane database. Search individual planes or full fleet lists. Check when and where a plane was seen, or where it can be found in a museum right now. All data comes straight from the Spottingmode database and is updated all the time. You can view more than a million planes already and data is directly linked to your own sightings. Every plane you have sightings for is highlighted, which makes it easy to find out which you still need to see. You can view complete production lists, country overviews, fleet lists, or search for any set of planes you want. There are practically no restrictions on the searches you can perform, or how many planes are shown. Click on a plane in any of the lists and view more detailed data, including sightings for this plane, any Wrecks & Relics info known, or the other identities the same plane is known to have had. The app also links into the other Spottingmode apps so you can also immediately find more info on the Wrecks & Relics location, or where you saw the particular plane.
