Planespotting
Planespotting (aka Aircraft spotting) is a hobby based on observing, photographing, and some times logging registration numbers of aircrafts. These may be airliners, helicopters, gliders, balloons, or other powered aircraft. There are a large variety of planespotters, each with a personal view and idea of the hobby. Some may be interested in specific aircraft models, some prefer to focus on the various unique markings or paint color schemes, and yet others might just be fascinated by a particular manufacturer. Some planespotting hobbyists will listen-in to air traffic controller radio transmissions using radio scanner (where the use of radio scanners is legal), while others are perfectly satisfied by just sitting under a shady tree and watching aircraft landings and take-offs. As for me, I’m happy just taking pictures and sharing them with the world - happy planespotting.
