but honestly it's sometimes faster to redraw than to check.
My thought exactly! That's why a searchable list of completed planes/ships would be really helpful; especially with their numbers growing so fast.
Essentially it needs to be a plain text list with some kind of craft identifier (class/name/model/NATO reporting name etc) and the URL pointing at the page where it can be found.
So if any of the admins think this idea is worth doing I'm totally up for trying to implement it.
