One fine day for plane-spotting

I have always been fascinated by airplanes. When I was young, living in a middle-class barrio, "micro plane-spotting" is one of my past times while lying on my back, taking breaks on  green  fields of Sikatuna. Of course, on my then point-of-view, aircrafts are just a super fine speck on a fine, blue sky, some where even hidden in clouds and I all I could hear is the loud, thunder-like  sound it gives; and my daydreaming would begin... 

So when I got older, I love taking snapshots of huge aircrafts on airports when I get opportunities to travel. Some pictures were hidden somewhere on my computer before, forgotten and some were lost. Just then I realized that my fascination with airplanes is actually a hobby --- who would have thought?! 

And so since I just discovered this as a hobby, I'm going to share some of the planes I've spotted.

They usually call this as the "popcorn", RP-C4737 South East Asian Airlines BOEING 737-2T4C, MCIA


I'm quite happy that I worked in a company with a landing strip nearby, I got to see planes coming to and from every hour.


Maybe in my past life, I was a bird or anything with wings. I have this indescribable feeling of happiness whenever I see clouds, sky, stars, moon and oh, sunsets and sunrise. I love the feeling to seeing things under me, on top with the best bird's eye view on everything. 

So if you try to figure out some ways to make me happy, oh, anything airplane-based things are so appreciated. ^^ Happy plane-spotting!
