plane spotters
Aviation hobby watchers
Plane spotters are hobbyists who observe, photograph, and catalog aircraft, typically at airports or along flight paths.
They identify planes by registration numbers, airline liveries, and aircraft types, often maintaining detailed logs of sightings.
The hobby combines elements of trainspotting with aviation enthusiasm: Plane spotters gathered near the runway to catch the rare A380 landing.
