To me the FGAddon is the best place to put an aircraft (and perhaps
car / boat / etc.) to make it available and build on to any FligtGear
developer and/or user. Other places could go unavailable, e.g. if the
main author die. That we have one such main repository owned
by the FlightGear group is, to me, very good. If we authors to the
things in it would grade our stuff in there fairer to make it easier
for a
user to find what she/he looks for it would have been even better.

Cheers,
