Yesterday after send my gf to LCCT@Sepang. Went to a popular spot for “PLANE SPOTTING”
What Plane Spotting??
According to Sid Porter from http://www.planespotting.com/ “Plane spotting is a serious hobby which is distinguished from just plain watching. A true plane spotter is someone that are quite knowledgeable and often travel around the world just to spot new and exotic liveries or military markings. For them, spotting is a very serious hobby and it is essential to maintain meticulous records of aircraft seen. There are also the photographers, both amateur and professional, with their advanced cameras, giant lenses, tripods or even the occasional video camcorder” Taken from http://www.planespotting.com/
As for me I’m just a casual plane watching :). Its a fun thing to do. But you really need lots of patient to wait for the plane to land or take off. After sitting in my car for nearly 4hours I’m only manage to snap about 10 planes. Some have really unique marking / paint job on the plane, others just very normal looking. Meet with few veteran plane spotter from Malaysian Wings Forum. For them they are more interested not only the marking but the plane. They can tell out what plane model is that just by looking at the shape. Really respect them.
These are some of the pictures i snap.
