I’m in the flight path of IND now. Lots of FedEx here too they have a large hub here.What's very interesting to me is you can tell which are 4-engine large jets. Click on them, and most are 747 cargo jets heading to and from Asia via Anchorage, Alaska.
I grew up around airplanes. I had two good friends whose fathers were both aircraft salesmen at different local airports. They had to keep current in many different models, so I got to go on a lot of rides while they built hours. And, our neighbors had no children and an airplane, so they took me around too. Ended up working at airports for 6 years while putting myself through school. I've lived near the airport most of my life, so get to see all kinds of neat stuff.
Several times a night I'll watch Flightradar24, just to see what's out there.
Watching O'Hare at rush times is fascinating. Same things with Memphis for Fed-X. A lot of planes coming in from Europe to Memphis fly north to south over Indiana. And Louisville for UPS.
Anyhow, fun hobby.
Used to live in path of Tyndall AFB(when they were home of the F22’s. You had to quit talking when one came in on landing approach or were headed out toward Eglin. I miss those sights.
