just a flashback, these planes you will never see in the future, its a piece of history you might see some of them restored at airshows... if you're lucky. |

The Supermarine Spitfire's name was developed from a number of factors under which the aircraft was produced. It got the first part of its name because it was developed by Supermarine Aviation Works, Ltd. Its creator was a part of this company and therefore gave the aircraft its first name to represent his place of work. The second part of the name was more controversial, as the designer of the Spitfire, RJ Mitchell, wanted it to have an entirely different name. He actually wanted to name it 'the Shrew' or 'the Scarab.' However, he was overruled by one of his bosses, who chose the name Spitfire because said boss had a daughter who he called 'little Spitfire.' you now know   |

but I do like watching planes fly in the sky. as a child i used to bug my parents to bring me by the local airport so i could watch some land and take off... then later in life, i moved away and i didn't realize how comforting the sounds of those planes had been until i came back and lived once again near the airport... that's when i realized how much i'd missed the sounds. *these aren't the big jets, btw, just the normal civilian passenger planes i'm talking about... like the pipers and cessnas. I'd get very annoyed very quickly with the big jets constantly around.* I get excited when I hear jet airplane sounds. You can usually hear the sound of one overhead at my house. We live just outside the city so it's fairly quiet but our (gravel) road in front of our house is sometimes busy. I guess airplanes fly everywhere but we seem to get a lot of airlines over where I live (the general area). I've tracked lots of overseas flights like from London to Las Vegas for example that went right over where I live. |

This is the Boeing 757. Over 1,000 of these narrow-body twin-engine aircraft were built from 1981-2004. In addition to their use as a passenger commercial airplane, FedEx and UPS have them in their fleet.  Wow that specific airplane looks like it needs a new paint job! lol |

A lot of planes fly over my house too. when I hear one I look up at the sky and watch it fly away till it disappears. When I lived near Chicago I used to enjoy watching all of the commercial jet-liners fly over our house as they were approaching O'hare Airport for a landing. In the summer we would put folding chairs in our yard and just sit and view the jet airplanes. if i remember right, o'hare is considered the busiest airport in the country, because most connecting flights to anywhere have stopovers there... it surprised me, because i would have thought LAX would have more traffic than chicago but apparently, it doesn't. |
