Planespotting reminds me of these two movies; Trainspotting & Reindeerspotting. Both are about drug abuse so maybe planespotting is just a clever alias for something different 😀
Well, I grew up loving aviation (I grew up and still live near O'hare). So I really can't explain it why I love seeing the airplanes fly by. People think I'm weird for staring at Airplanes, but idgaf.
I don't know how you guys do it. Other than the airplane spotting location at LAS, I haven't witnessed a single photographer, but somehow my lame ass ends up all over airliners.net on a regular basis.
