Made the switch

Why spotters are switching

Everything the old sites made hard — made effortless, and yours. Built for the people doing the flying-line work, not the gatekeepers.

Published in seconds — never rejected

Drag in your catalogue and every photo goes live immediately, auto-tagged by tail number, type, operator, and airport. No screening queue. No rejection lottery.

You own it — delete anytime

Remove any photo, or delete your entire account, whenever you want. Your work, your call — no support tickets, no limbo. The control legacy spotting sites never gave you.

Originals kept, full-res

We archive your originals untouched — never downsized. Download your own anytime, and let others request the full-res file straight from you.

Full credit + a real portfolio

Your name rides on every photo. Get a spotter profile, a catch map, and a life list that actually shows off your flying.

Hangar Talk community

A genuine spotter forum — self-moderating, with email notifications so threads don't go quiet. Real engagement, not a dusty message board.

Milestones, rare alerts & leaderboards

First-catch badges, rarity alerts, and airport leaderboards. Spotting that rewards you for showing up.

Tail ID in your pocket

Point your phone at any aircraft and instantly know what it is — captures drop straight into your logbook.

One free account, one network

Free for spotters, with originals preserved forever. A single login works across TailPhotos and TailVideos.
