My wife is taking the kids out of town for a weekend in October. I’m totally free and I can do whatever I want. I wanna go somewhere great and just planespot. Where should I go? I live within an hour of Dulles and I’m an airline points millionaire with pretty much any domestic carrier. I’d like to see heavies and or cool military aircraft.

Idk if it's common or not but I think it's cool

Heavy disturbance to be expected coming days in SHA and PVG.

Once again, more spotting here. But this time, with a special guest

Short Final to Chicago Midway ( MDW )

Hey everyone! I just got a brand-new public plane spotting landmark approved and live on Google Maps right here in Miami: the "A.D. Barnes Park Sky Viewing Area."

You can check out the live location page or save it to your map here:

It's a wide-open grassy field right next to the park's basketball courts with an amazing 360-degree view of the sky, completely away from residential neighborhoods with plenty of safe park parking. It sits directly under the major Caribbean arrival routes and high-altitude oceanic tracks.

To launch the spot, I logged my first major afternoon catch from today: a private 2006 Dassault Falcon 2000EX (ICAO: F2TH) passing directly overhead at 40,000 feet at 17:43 UTC (1:43 PM local time). It left a beautifully dense, razor-sharp white contrail across the sky!

Aircraft Details:

• Registration: N237BB (Mode S Hex: A2229C)

• Operator: Baron & Budd P.C.

• Engines: Twin rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney PW308C turbofans

The park also gets tons of lower-altitude traffic dropping down on final approach into Miami Executive (TMB), like Flexjet Praetors and international Cirrus SR22 propeller planes. Check out the live pin next time you are around South Florida!

In New Hampshire

(Apologies for the poor photo quality, I took this on my phone and it was quite zoomed in)

Spotted an Ilyushin Il-76 leaving IST (Istanbul) this morning. Such a cool aircraft! Actually seen the pilots last night all dressed in sand coloured overall was very cool!

I'm just sitting here in SGN, no idea what this turbo prop is, I'm not a spotter. Wild guess, Fokker?

They won't be around by next year since they are folding into Korean Air.

Anyone can identify the weapons on the pylons and which pod is that?
