Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is aerospaceweb.org legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns aerospaceweb.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for aerospaceweb.org. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

What aerospaceweb.org said about itself, 2006
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2006
Aerospaceweb.org traces its roots to 1997 when the core of what has since become The Aircraft Museum was first created. As this collection of information grew and was joined by new articles on aerospace design, a group of engineers from the aviation and space industries came together in 2000 to form Aerospaceweb.org.
