Template:Infobox Aircraft Career
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |

This template does not function alone; it must follow {{Infobox aircraft begin}}.
This template provides general data on types (and subtypes) of aircraft, but not technical specifications. If you want to include those, see {{Infobox aircraft type}}.
{{Infobox aircraft begin}}, this template, (and {{Infobox aircraft career}}, if applicable) must be enclosed by {| and |} that enclose a wiki-table (see Help:Tables).
Examples
For an article on an aircraft type, use:
{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
|parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox aircraft type
|parameters go here
}}
|}
For a case where the only example built of a particular aircraft type also had an individually noteworthy career (e.g., The Spirit of St. Louis, use:
{|{{Infobox aircraft begin
|parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox aircraft type
|parameters go here
}}{{Inbobox aircraft career
|parameters go here
}}
|}
Infobox aircraft career
This infobox is used to summarize the career of an individual aircraft. Where this aircraft is a unique, one-off design, it should immediately follow {{Infobox aircraft type}} in the article. If the individual aircraft described in this article was built as part of a series (even a small one), this infobox should stand alone without {{Infobox aircraft type}}. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use {{Aircraft specs}}.
When standing alone, |aircraft name= and |type= are required fields.
{| {{Infobox aircraft begin
| name = REQUIRED <!-- avoid stating manufacturer (it's stated 3 lines below) unless name used by other aircraft manufacturers -->
| image = <!-- in the ''File:filename'' format with no image tags. In-flight images are preferred for aircraft. -->
| caption = <!-- Image caption; if it isn't descriptive, please skip. -->
| alt = <!-- Alt text for main image -->
}}
{{Infobox aircraft career
| other names = <!--Other names (nicknames, nose art names) this aircraft is known by-->
| type = <!--Type of aircraft-->
| manufacturer = <!-- may differ from the main/original manufacturer of this aircraft's type -->
| construction number = <!-- manufacturer's construction number -->
| construction date = <!-- either roll-out date or span of time for lengthy projects, whichever seems more appropriate -->
| civil registration = <!-- any civil registrations carried by this aircraft -->
| military serial = <!-- any military serial numbers carried by this aircraft -->
| radio code = <!-- military radio codes where this is a commonly-used way of identifying this aircraft (eg. US, British, and German military aircraft of WWII -->
| first flight = <!-- date of first flight -->
| owners = <!-- owners or operators, whether private individuals, companies, or military services -->
| in service = <!-- time in military or revenue service, as a range of dates -->
| last flight = <!-- date of last flight -->
| flights = <!-- number of flights made by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying -->
| total hours = <!-- total number of hours flown by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying -->
| total distance = <!-- total distance flown by this aircraft, usually only relevant for an aircraft no longer flying -->
| status = <!-- status for an aircraft still in service -->
| aircraft carried = <!-- type of aircraft carried, usually only for mothership aircraft -->
| fate = <!-- fate/disposition of this aircraft -->
| preservation = <!-- where this aircraft is currently preserved (if it is) -->
