Actually more than that. We have passed 100,000 mark, and rapidly growing.

Thanks to everybody.

As I write this, there are 104,835 aircraft photos, and 4,492 airport photos on this site. That adds to 109,327 for the fussbudgets among us. And the numbers are accelerating with rapid addition of registered photographers. Congratulations, Ken!

Would you believe many of us in the control tower use this site to check out planes all the time? We often used the FAA registry to see who owns planes, but this site we can get photos if anyone has posted them. That's the fun part - seeing what the bird looks like if all you see is a Radar target.

It's quite surprising to know that you have extra computer and internet connection in control tower. Surprised

We have one in the Radar Room also. It is only legal for official business. It has an intra-net connection to many FAA sites for recording traffic counts, getting the situation display of all aircraft inbound to anywhere we select (although usually just those inbound to us), and a host of other things we use for official business. I got approval for airport-data to be on our approved list, but who knows about other facilities if they even know about your site!

This answered my question, though made me more surprised. Thanks for getting our site approved, I am really honored.

Speaking of inbound traffic data, I have done some research on that before. We can get really time (well, kinda, with 10 minutes delay if I remember correctly) flight data from DOT, then we can provide many services using the data, such as real-time flight tracking (like flightaware), arrival and departure of all passenger airports, etc. The only issue remain unsolved is I can't afford a dedicated T1 from DOT's data center (located in MA) to our server (Toronto, ON) which is required to receive data.
