Deletion of Maiden flight dates

Comment: I think the year in aviation series (which constitutes a timeline) serves a different purpose than this article.  Wikipedia does not require that information be displayed uniquely; although we try to avoid content forks, when there are different systematic means of conveying information, we will generally allow multiples to coexist (that's the principle behind ).  There's a partial list of these also present in maiden flight.  I'd like to see the contents of that list merged here, and the resultant article renamed to list of maiden flights

Comment: The article assembles information in a convenient format.  If the article becomes too large, then it can be split (), by century or by country or by another criterion
