First, I know a little about the aviation business. I have a degree in Aeronautical Science from Mountain View College. I am a FAA Certified Airline Transport Pilot, an FAA Certified Flight Instructor and a FAA Certified Airframe and Powerplant Technician. I had spent more than 5 years with Cessna Aircraft Company as a Sales Engineer and more than 5 years with Bombardier (Owner of Learjet) as a Technical Analyst. I have logged more than 5000 hours of professional flying that includes passengers and freight for Martin Air. I have personally flown for people such as Mark Cuban and Michael Dell on charter flights (able to get advice on the name market).
As for the domain name business experience; I have invested about 50,000. USD into domain names, with a return in sales of about 150,000. USD. Leaving me about 100,000. profit in a three year time span. Names that I have sold include;

These are the facts that I base my opinions on.
I have never made any claims as to the value of any of my names or that I had a superior collection compared to others. Nor have I suggested that I am some expert on domain names.
I have only insisted on facts and logic which seems to irritate certain individuals on this forum. These same individuals in turn want to twist the debate into a personal matter distracting from the original point. So I will state agian, Airlines.net will not fetch 5 figures or even 4 figures.
I think it is reasonable to assert that I would be in a better position than you to understand the marketing principles involved with aviation type businesses and the value of aviation related domain names.
I would be interested in your "facts".
