Airline Information - Aircraft Fleet

This page could be divided in 3 sections:

- Scheduled fleets
- Un-scheduled fleets
- Museum fleets

The first is self-explanatory; the second is mainly for leased out planes and new fleets not yet scheduled; and the third is the airline museum with old frames from previous eras, where planes can be in store with no age limit.

the unscheduled fleet idea I support a lot. If no plane is flown(and therefore there is no commonality costs associated to this fleet type), then it could be a separated section. Would help a lot the company readability.

OTOH, I'm not sure how to make the difference between unscheduled and museum. "previous era" is not an accurate data, and you can see in 2033 people ordering 737 classic.....

By "Museum" I mean exactly that, planes that cannot be used once allocated to the museum, with perhaps storage cost at zero. In essence, a way for some players to keep one example (or more if they wish) of previous fleets, for instance a Connie, a DC6B, etc.

I get the idea. What I don't get is how it would concretely materialize within the game. Unless you want to create another kind of storage, with a player's decision to move the frame to the museum, but that's probably far more work(uneducated guess, of course, I don't have access to the source code).

Instead of (or in addition to) the "museum", I suggest a column where we can keep track of all previously owned or flown aircraft, whether they're preserved in a museum, sold or scrapped.

See e.g. the "Historic" column of a planespotters.net page screenshot below:
