I don't quite remember what the requirement for the thumbnail is, but it does reside in the aircraft's texture folder with the title, thumbnail. I think it has to be a certain size for it to display, but basically, just put a picture file named thumbnail in the aircraft's texture folder. And also you can check a thumbnail from a default aircraft to find the exact file type and size.

Hope this helps
