Starting review...

I'm not seeing anything that makes me think any of WP:GAFAIL apply.

Images

[edit]
  • File:Aerospatiale SA 330J Puma, Spain - Air Force J(cropped).jpg appears to be mis-licensed. It's a crop from File:Aerospatiale SA 330J Puma, Spain - Air Force JP6845556.jpg which is GFDL, so the derived image must also use the same license.
  • File:SAAF-Puma-005.jpg The exif data says "© Leoa's Photography", but it's claimed as "Own work", so something doesn't jive.
  • MOS:Images says Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative, They are often an important illustrative aid to understanding ... and too many can be distracting. There's a lot of photos of essentially the same aircraft. Are these all really needed to aid the reader's understanding, or is this really just a gallery of aircraft pictures for decorative purposes?
