Plane spotting is just not the same today. I remember seeing so many incredible planes as a child in the 90βs. I had a relative who lived near SFO and whenever Iβd go visit, I loved sitting outside and watching all the wide bodies take off and pass over. The classic 747βs (100βs and 200βs) were my favorite. After awhile, I could distinguish an aircraft sound alone.
I'm Italian..I remember my first vacation in L.A. back in 1991..I was 11 y.o...we stayed at the Hilton the first night,I couldn't sleep because of the jet lag..I've spent the whole night watching planes landing at Lax ..it was incredible..
