Template talk:Boeing military aircraft

message: I'm not sure where some of these should go.  
* YAL-1 
* OC-135 
* RC-135 Rivet Joint 
* E-4 
* E-6 
* E-10 MC2A
Where do observation aircraft go?  Under Reconn? -Fnlayson 01:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: yes to Obser, and put YAL-1 per below. - BillCJ 02:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Should the Y planes be put on a Prototype line?  -Fnlayson 01:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We could change "Experimental" to add Prototypes, and put those there (like YAL-1). - BillCJ 02:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prototypes 

message: I've doubled up a few entries, and got it down to seven lines. I don't think it's too crowded. However, if it does turn out to be too cramped, we can split into combat and non-combat pages - shouldn't bee too much overlap that way. - BillCJ 02:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are the craft listed on Chrono order?  If so, the YAL-1 should be last on the Experimental/Prototypes line. -Fnlayson 03:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Looks good!

message: This thing is awfully big. What would you think of going ahead and dividing it? I think it would allow us to spread each category out a bit, and still not bee too long. We could use Template:Boeing combat aircraft for the combat planes, and keep this one for the others, but change the title line to "Boeing military transport and support aircraft". THoughts? If we're not sure about what to do, we could ask on WP:AIR for comments. - BillCJ 03:26, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Split

message: Why is the CC-137 listed last on that line?  I had it next to C-137, since they seem very similar, both being 707-based.  -Fnlayson 14:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just trying to list them by designation, as the CF uses it's own system. I keep forgetting everyone else wants to list them by time period. Sorry! We can move it back. - BillCJ 15:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: * Oh, I see what you mean.  I guess it's one way or the other then. -Fnlayson 16:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, it's back after C-137. - BillCJ 16:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transports 

message: The "Transport" line is pretty long, and will spill over with the next couple of additions. When it does (and I think we'll find a few more aircraft to add soon), I propose splitting it into separate categories. I'd probably go with Piston and Jet, similar to the division on the Boeing AIrliner templates. - BillCJ 16:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good. On rotorcraft, I don't think it's necessary here, esp as we haven't included the pre-Boeing Vertol piston engine helis by Piasecki and Vertol, and BV only made turbine models. It does brign up a good point, ans I don't think thee's a template for those models yet. We could make one for all the Piasecki/Vertol/BV modles, and remove the helicopters here. THe attack copters are slightly different, and were actyually under Boeing IDS, not BV/Boeing Helicopters. Just some ideas, don't know if we'd want to do it now though, or how. - BillCJ 23:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
