Plane Spotting.

Neatorama reader Jerrold Litwinenko wrote about a weird hobby: airplane spotting [wiki].

"Plane spotting" is an odd hobby, and most certainly isn’t for everyone. But those that do it are really into it and seem to enjoy themselves immensely. I learned this first hand the other day when on a whim I decided to take a curiosity-induced drive around the perimeter of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and see what I could learn about the phenomenon that is plane spotting.

Link - Thanks Jerrold!

Of course, some of the best plane spotting pics can be found at Airliners.net. For example, this, this, and this Where is that crazy airport? from The Princes Juliana International Airport [wiki] on the island of St. Maarten.

    I think some of these dudes played a part in exposing / documenting the secret "extraordinary rendition" flights around Europe.

    Well I can't say what airport it is, but I can tell you it ISN'T the Princess Juliana Airport in St.Maarten..unless that is... Canadian Petroleum company Petro-Canada has taken over...

    There is a Petro-Canada gas station in the background...

    RooBoy, I meant the 3 links at airliners.net being shots taken from the Princess Juliana Airport in St. Marteen.

    I imagine you'd get arrested under 'anti-terror' laws in the UK for doing this. Then they've got your DNA, you're fingerprints, and it's all over.

    In this post 9/11 world, this can get you thrown in jail.
