Plane Spotting – Can you identify them ?

RobotCat — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:02:24 +0000

When I was young, car spotting was a great past time. You can play the game with your friends by shouting out the make and see who gets it right. Now I sometimes play the game of “guessing the nationality” at an airport queue or lounge or plane cabin by figuring a person by his/her looks and dressing then find out by asking. Of course, plane spotting can be a hobby too much like bird watching.

Airline P.A.: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Glasgow, we hope you enjoyed your flight and thank you for flying Easyjet. If you didn’t enjoy your flight, thank you for flying Ryanair.
