Hi Terry,

There is a blocker on the d/b for this picture to stop it being downloaded. It will however be in your photo folder and will require to be deleted to stop it being shown.

It is the only picture on Airliners for this registration, hence the block.   Airnav only downloads from Airliners but you can download from anywhere else yourself and store in the photo folder using the correct size for the photo of 200 x 133.

As you are aware there is still a bug in the system regarding photos.  The software picks the photos to display using the search criteria of most popular.  The photos you get may not be the ones other people get.  They also have zero relation to the photolinks in the Navdata. 

If you get a photo of a wrong aircraft look in your database explorer and see what the LK and LK2 fields say.  the LK www airliners net address usually has the aircraft type in it. 

This can also be achieved by double clicking on the photo you see, which will then open the Airliners net link from your Navdata and is almost certainly a different photo or the Airnav photo blocker link. 

The photos links in the Navdata are the ones we have control of and when Airnav eventually fix the bug these are the ones you will see.  You can only currently see them from double clicking on the displayed airnav bug photos.

I haven't got my Airnav on at the moment so can't confirm what is in the Navdata for the examples above.

Until that time please only highlight any where the Navdata LK fields point to a picture of another airframe.  We have control of that.
