logbook

The logbook is the oldest practice in the hobby: one line per airframe, so seeing the same registration twice is not a new entry but seeing a new registration of a type you already have is. TailzIN keeps one automatically — publishing a spot with a tail number adds that airframe to yours, once.

• frame — An individual aircraft, short for airframe — and, confusingly, also a single photograph.
• hunting — Actively seeking out a particular aircraft, livery or type rather than photographing whatever appears.
• mudflap — The deflector fitted behind a nose landing gear wheel to stop water and debris being thrown up into the engines.
• nose-on — A photograph taken from close to the aircraft's centreline, looking straight at the nose.
