r/AircraftOwners (done with permission)

Aircraft owners- this is the subreddit for you. In here you can discuss anything regarding the ownership of your aircraft. Owning an aircraft can come with many stories to be told. This is the place to tell it. It is a brand new subreddit that I feel has great potential to become a good one. r/AircraftOwners

Currently on a Boeing 737-900ER (Delta) - can someone explain what the “no person” warning sticker on the engine specifically means?

There’s clearly a keyhole there so at some point a human would have to put a key in it, right? If so, how does that reconcile with the warning that indicates effectively no humans should be in that area? Do they mean no standing on the engine or the fin? Any insights would be appreciated, thanks!

Looking for a super budget plane spotting camera.

Hi, my local is Dublin Airport. I am looking for a used, super budget (£150) dslr with lens from eBay. Any suggestions? Using for landings, No cruising altitudes.

Could an airplane look like this?

This phenomenon on the night sky caught my eye recently. The video is taken looking west about an hour or so after sunset, which makes me wonder if it could be an airplane contrail catching the sunlight. Another thought was that it could either be a comet or rocket launch, but I haven't heard of any currently visible comets, and there are no rocket launch sites near this location (SEA region) AFAIK.

What is this shape/symbol on this AC130 (in a game)

This is in Roblox Military Tycoon but I figure it might be on real planes. In game it appears on the AC130 and B1. Is it a paint decal, does it have a meaning?
