Anyone for plane spotting ?

Glasgow airport recently saw a large crowd of people with cameras, recorders and notebooks at the ready, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a special aircraft. They didn't care who was on board, they just wanted to add 'Air force 1' to their list of aircraft they had spotted.

I saw Air Force 1 fly over my house once. Whoop de do. I do look up when I hear something different. A couple times a V-22 Osprey flew over. They make a lot of noise. The last time a Goodyear blimp passed by it made no noise at all. I think they may have converted it to electric. I missed that blimp sound.

My house in Illinois had a wetlands nature reserve behind me that was marked as a rest stop for a hot air balloon race. About 12 balloons landed right behind my house. One actually missed his landing spot and ended up covering the 2 story house 2 doors down from us. Can you imagine waking up looking out the window and seeing a deflated balloon on your house?
