Yup, generally your statement seems true for commercial aircraft, though have often heard the news reporting a Jumbo jet and seen anything from a B767 in size and up pictured!
Consider, however, light aircraft. Normally names are used rather than numbers, eg Piper Arrow rather than PA28, Beech Baron rather than BE-55 0r 58, etc. That adds to the strength of your query.
