Thank you, they look real weird from the side.

Never knew this plane existed, I just got a side view it looks like a python who just swallowed a
big pig. Hard to believe the 747 has been flying for 45 years.

A lot of people give me a weird look when they find out I'm into bird photography... I do like trying to figure out who's overhead whether it's a plane or satellite.

Aircraft spotting in the sense of collecting serial numbers or the plane registrations, i think dates back to WW11 over here in the Uk where lads used to try to get the tail codes or aircraft, this kind of collecting hobby I have seen with such transports as - Trucks, Buses and Coaches, Planes - civil and military, and even ships.

Its a big big hobby related industry with log books containing alphabetical or number sequenced reference pages, that can be underlined or ticked to show an individual transport that had been seen, there are photo reference books containing thousands upon thousands of Photographs of such transports.
One mite say that they all look the same - well that could be true but to a hard core spotter the idea is to record and see every single plane within a companies airline, and the photograph just goes with the logging as kind of another dimension to the log.

Hope this explains it folks

I never had a clue, thanks for the background information !
