airliners.net

     

Airliners.net is an aviation website founed by Johan Lundgren in 1997, evolving from his previous Pictures of Modern Airliners site started in 1994. On 27 July 2007, it was announced that Airliners.net had been acquired by Demand Media, a company based in Santa Monica, CA, USA. The site has recently been moved from LuleƄ, Sweden to Demand Media's servers in the USA. Since then some members have criticized Demand Media's practices at maintaining the "aviation community" and believe the emphasis may have changed towards profit. Demand Media state that this is not so and have explained their policies on the site's forums.
