Deletion of List of aircraft by date and usage category

Comment: To be honest, I've never really understood lists.  And, for the most part, I usually feel the same way {{U|Class455fan1}} {{U|Ajf773 }} does; that a category can do anything a list can.  But, in this case, I like how the list organizes the entries by two dimensions; type of aircraft crossed with year.  So, maybe I'm just saying  and , both of which I know are poor arguments, but  lets me do that
