11. You can an aircraft type and airline whilst the airliner is at 33,000ft (I can )

P.S There's an Easyjet Airbus A319 going over my house at this very moment !

Looks like I'm One. #2 really tells.

Same situation with me!

[Clutch Airball]

Occasionally a Qantas 747 (distinguished by its red rear end) and an A380 (dunno which airline's) flying high above the clouds, probably beginning to descend into SIN

I understand that

People wont sit next to you because of it.

You know when your friends ask you questions about that sort of thing; they know you can answer them.

For example, my friends and I saw a SkyWest CRJ-200 coming into BTM really low. They were concerned and asked me why it was coming in lower than normal. I gave them the simple answer of "Because a n00b is flying it".

Thats true... i get asked questions whenever anything flies overhead us (which under the circuit at EMA usually means DHL 757/767s)

23: Always when you are in finger/ramp you read the aircraft ID.
24: You love Flight Simulator
25: Always you can you visit the cockpit
26: You love take plane pictures and sometimes post them in airliners.net
27: Always you can you visit your city airport
28: When you travel with someone and pass half part of the flight filling it with aeronautical information that he didn't want to know

[bolli]

Yes the last point is very true

[Spenser]

#.You think of additional reasons to post them

28: When you travel with someone and pass half part of the flight filling it with aeronautical information that he didn't want to know

Or some that maybe they do, like what that noise just was. There's the flaps. There's the gear. THRUST REVERSERS!

29) You look at which aircraft is operating the flight rather than the timing.

30: When in class you tell the person next to you "That was the 2:30pm flight from Dubai. Its a 777 and is flown by emirates.

I get propellor traffic heading into Sugarland Regional. Ocasionally, a Southwest 737 flies over our house towards Hobby. I'm a plane enthusiast, definetly, I'm flying an around the world flight right now, and I'd LOVE to go into a cockpit of a jet plane one day.

[Kirkland]

Or...... "That was the 12:30 757 flight operated by Delta, it is currently flying from Atlanta to Seattle and in contact with Ft.Worth Center on 123.9"

[Kintaro Rei Freon]

This really happened...

*G4 MD-80 comes in low overhead, on approach to BTM*

Lady near me: "When did Allegiant start flying here?"

Me: "When they took over the casino junket to Wendover."

Yeah, I'm a nerd.

ehmagod, i found my heaven in this forum and website!
i am soooo enthusiast!!

all the things you share here is so me... (except the pilot part)
and i always annoy my friend by telling them any information about aircrafts which fly over our head... or telling about ANY part of an aircraft when we have a trip by plane... and my friends will always call me first to get to know anything related to aviation...

i even know so well the lifesaver demo performed by stewardess!!
(doesnt mean i want to be stewardess, i just dont want to miss ANYTHING while im transporting by plane...)

[Kirkland]

i am crazy for safety videos. My favorites are V Australia, Delta, and Air France's. I have memorized almost all of V Australia's. I watch them everyday. I probably have seen safety videos more then a very very frequent traveler.

(oh and you can tell a 762 from a 763, that's too easy! Anyone can do that... duh)

[n.x.w.m]

I am totally an enthusiast! My uncle always quizzes me on airline's hub cities and such. My house is right under a major approach to ORD. We get lots of A340's, B777's, B747's and of course, the domestic traffic. I love spotting the VS flights from LHR in the summer. There was one before that flew in really low and was in some type of special livery. It was fantastic. Another, we saw the first special Eithad Airways plane to fly into ORD. An Airbus A340-500. Ahhh......

[Tech Deck]

i love aircrafts

31 or something: You got to Saint Martin to look at planes not the hot chicks at the beach.
