Used to work in Stockport right on the flightpath to the airport. Sometimes you could see 2 or 3 planes queued up waiting to land. Got talking to some yakshire builders doing work in our offices once, the silly fuckers were amazed that you could see the planes in the sky, it was like magic to em.

Aye. Am in Heaton Moor. Have lived with em all my life. You get used to them, and get to know what some of them are...like the 11am virgin atlantic jumbo every wednesday!

Some plane spotters would love it. But I have been sat at home with out of towners who scream and point out the window when they see the planes coming in, thinking they're going to crash

I used to live right by the eastern end of the runway at Heathrow. It was OK when they were landing as there wasn't much noise but it was fucking noisy when they were taking off. They used to have to fly one of three routes to avoid having all the noise in one area and it tended to be the jumbos going to South Africe, Oz and the Middle East that came past my flat window and so close you could wave to the pilot.

Best was when Air Force One flew in. All three of them.

Does anyone live near MIA, I mean really close, close enough to see them coming in really low. If you do, what's it like? I quite like aeroplanes and always wanted to live near the airport for this very reason. I suppose it's a bit of a naive view, and perhaps the noise would get me down after a bit, or the novelty would wear off. But if you do live near the airport, what's it like?

Aeroplane spotting = Train spotting

Thanks for all your replies so far, very interesting, and I love the tongue in cheek ones too!

There's a house for sale on Ringway Road that would fit the bill...;o)

Deffo mate, you`ll notice the last few houses missing from the row on Shadowmoss, they were hit by a plane many years ago but don`t let that put you off.
