Oppose – Stock govt. photo of a relatively obscure subsonic plane with no apparent explanatory context. Scant EV. – Sca (talk) 12:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It has EV, it’s a quality photograph to show the plane on the article about the plane. I do agree that the plane is obscure but we are here to talk about the photograph and not the obscureness of the contents of the photograph. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 06:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I find it slightly wacky to say that the subject in a photo doesn't matter. Pics are all about visual information. -- Sca (talk) 13:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support High quality photo that illustrates the features of this new aircraft type. The comments above claiming that the aircraft is 'obscure' seem wrong-headed: the US Air Force intends to purchase 351 of the type and they will likely serve for decades as the force's main jet training aircraft. It is very likely that lots of other countries will also end up ordering them. This has been major news for years in the Defence industry and aviation sector. As such, a high quality photo of one of the prototypes of this aircraft has very high EV. Nick-D (talk) 05:41, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Major news for years in the Defence industry and aviation sector." -- But not in the general news sector. Technologically, there doesn't seem to be anything significant about this 2016 prototype. -- Sca (talk) 12:38, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
