Pictures of all airplanes, organized by tail number

Question

Whenever a plane crash happens, Wikipedia and Wikinews articles are created within minutes, and good reusable pictures of the aircraft become needed.

Is there a database/website that has pictures for as many aircraft as possible?

Bonus if a web interface allows one to type a tail number and browse the gallery (thumbnails) of images that match it.

Nice website, but unfortunately their pictures are not at all open. – Patrick Hoefler Mar 30 '15 at 20:45
"CC-BY-SA or GFDL" - Now I get it. That's the licensing for use. In some weird way I thought it was a format for aircraft registration. – pndfam05 Mar 31 '15 at 01:24
