I would advise against the phrase "Partial list of events that had an impact in aviation" that is used on some of these pages. Impact is not exactly considered desirable in aviation .. --Eloquence 09:54 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Wouldn't this page be better set out as a Timeline of Aviation? Or merge it with Timeline of transportation technology? Besides there is already a Aviation history article, as well as Incidents in Aviation and Milestones in Aviation, all of which should be expanded with the information that might appear on these pages. That way all the facts are on one (or a few) page(s) not a hundred pages. As I understand these list pages, they should refer to already written articles, not articles waiting to be written. I know AntonioMartin made an attempt with the years 1980-1987, but they are really timelines that would be better pulled into one article. The current pages all stem from one article (Aviation) and as a single link in the "See Also:" list. They can easily become a group of orphan pages unless they link logically into the written text of a whole lot of other articles. The current titles do not lend themselves to easy inclusion in an article's text. At present these pages are difficult to navigate and do not link to each other. Also, most of the facts are fairly trivial - especially by the 1980's - I would be inclined to merge these pages and move the information to something more appropriate. Alternative thoughts? -- kiwiinapanic 10:56 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)
It would be good to know if there are firm plans to put content on, e.g. 1991 in aviation and 1993 in aviation and the others. They now link from 1991 and 1993, which are heavily-accessed year pages, but contain no content. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 14:57, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Why were large numbers of comments dropped when Timeline of aviation history was merged into this page? Rmhermen 03:38, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)
Your timeline is incomplete. It must have Alberto Santos-Dumont flight in Paris 1906.
