This is aimed at people who do not live very close to a very major international airport, who would receive a larger variety of aircraft.
What aircraft fly above your house the most? For me a lot of Ryainair flights inbound to London Stansted, plus a fair few international flights and even once Air Force One
I live near the ENULA waypoint for the HI IFR Julliet airway approach into EIKN! Mostly Virgin Atlantic, BA, Lufthansa and Aer lingus and of course the occasional American and United!
I live in Ireland about 40 miles to the northwest of Ireland West Airport Knock aka EIKN
Every flight to and from Van Nuys, Burbank, and a good bunch of LAX, so 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787, Crj-200 Crj-700 Crj-900, a319, a320, a321, a330, a380, Gulfstreams, Cessna Citations, plenty of GA. Mostly southwest 737, everything else is LAX or just random GA.
Well I live near a active air musem where they get old planes and fly them and sometimes do airshows. Once the Vulcan bomber flew over (which is absolutely massive and very loud) and a lot of other old planes that stunned me
When I’m at home I usually see a bunch of 757, A320, A321, 737, C130, 767, and ERJ-145s. When I’m at school I see some MD-11, 777, 757, A320 and a few 787s. One is flying right now :)
I live near BRS and CWL so for me it would be Easyjet A319/320, Ryanair 738, bmi Regional E135/145, Thomas Cook A321, Aer Lingus ATR 42/72, KLM E190 and Thomson B738, B752 and even the ocassional B788 inbound for BRS. CWL has Flybe DH8D and E195, Vueling A320, KLM F70 and E190, Aer Lingus ATR 42/72 as commercial flights as well as BA B772, B773 and B744 coming in for maintainance.
