We have been made aware that another product called Aviation Database or AVDB for short, has announced it will be closing.  We have received many emails from fellow plane spotters searching for an alternative aviation database option to keep track of their logs.

What is Aviation Database?

Aviation Database (AVDB) was a Windows/Mac based software application used by airports around the world, insurance companies, Government departments, aircraft owners and aircraft enthusiasts.
