When you check seatguru to configure your seats in AE

isn't that what it's meant for?

Most people just pick any random seat. Only recently have I got into the habit. And yes I use seat guru to create my AE configs (cabin length and stuff like that)

I look up at the same time every day and see a Delta MD-80 fly overhead.

Most of this is from my experience, but here it goes.

1. You love jet noise.
2. Whenever you hear a roaring/buzzing sound you immediately look up at the sky.
3. You can tell a 767-200 from a -300 at a quick glance.
4. Whenever you take a trip, usually you look forward to the flight more than the destination.
5. On pictures from the said trip a good majority was on the plane you flew.
6. You almost always take a window seat.
7. Aircraft type and airline is a high priority when picking a flight.
8. You can tell the difference between a 747-300 and a 747-400.

Feel free to add on.

I get to the point when I hear/see an aircraft that I take any camera out of my pocket and take a photo of it =P I also tend to record the whole flight so yes I don't sleep when aboard an airplane lol

When we deplaned I immediately took my camera out and took a picture of this young lady! An Airbus A320-214 from Air Asia Philippines. Well I took so long that the Ramp Agents we're staring at me lol they we're kind enough to let me take photo's.

When you know THAT A ****ING TARMAC ISN'T AN APRON OR A RUNWAY FFS NEWS GET IT RIGHT!!!!

When you know THAT A ****ING TARMAC ISN'T AN APRON OR A RUNWAY FFS NEWS GET IT RIGHT!!!!

Oh my god lol.. Never encountered a news agency referring to Tarmac as Runway lol Taxiway as Runway would be plausible

When you are willing to fly on an inferior airline to get a better aircraft (eg Finnair to fly an A330 rather than Emirates for a 777). Although I do not think there is that significant a difference between the two, especially when price is considered.

It's a young lady?

I thought it was the other way around (news calls it the tarmac and it's actually the apron).

[kingoftheskies]

When you're willing to pay a few extra bucks to fly a circuitous route from A to B instead of directly just to experience a new airline.

[KINGXyro]

Well RP-C3227 is just 13.6 years old. If you mean why I'm referring to it as a "young lady"  well people refers to airplanes as "she" most of the time lol

Which isn't really politically correct. Some people could say that calling vessels "she" could be sexist.

Ahh one of those easily offended by everything people? meh who cares about them..I don't have sexist intentions of referring to planes as "she"

You should care about everybody. One of the steps to stopping the world's path to destruction is to listen to opinions and accept the diversity of different people's mindsets.

I'm sorry about the thing I have said earlier. Anyways, there's nothing sexist about it. I saw a girl referring to the planes as "he" and us boys refer to them as "she" even depends on languages I heard French and German has different terms for the planes...

1. You love jet noise. Depends, I like the engine noise on startup, that's about it for me.
2. Whenever you hear a roaring/buzzing sound you immediately look up at the sky. Yup
3. You can tell a 767-200 from a -300 at a quick glance. Yup
4. Whenever you take a trip, usually you look forward to the flight more than the destination. Not really
5. On pictures from the said trip a good majority was on the plane you flew. Sometimes
6. You almost always take a window seat. Yup
7. Aircraft type and airline is a high priority when picking a flight. Not really, unless it's not Ryanair or Onur Air I'm fine with any airline
8. You can tell the difference between a 747-300 and a 747-400. Yeah, but can you tell the difference between a -200SUD and a -300?

4. Whenever you take a trip, usually you look forward to the flight more than the destination. ​Depends on the flight
5. On pictures from the said trip a good majority was on the plane you flew. Almost never

8. You can tell the difference between a 747-300 and a 747-400. Yeah. -400 has winglets, -300 does not.

1. You love jet noise. Not always. I dont like prop planes.

3. You can tell a 767-200 from a -300 at a quick glance. Yup
4. Whenever you take a trip, usually you look forward to the flight more than the destination. Yah but I like flying more than the place most of the tiem

6. You almost always take a window seat. No becuse I cant always afford it. And on some airlines I dont fit.
7. Aircraft type and airline is a high priority when picking a flight. Yes but it depends. The airline needs legroom so thats normally part of my choice. I fly southwest alot for that exact reason.
8. You can tell the difference between a 747-300 and a 747-400. Not difficult. But a 737-800 and 737-900 (not ER)
