GIVEAWAY: Post Your Favorite Planespotting Spot, Win Plane Finder App for iPhone/iPad

[Matt Molnar]

The Plane Finder (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plane-finder/id336477530?mt=8) app for iPhone and Plane Finder HD for iPad lets you track planes in nearly real time while you're on the move. Possibly the best tool yet for planespotters, the iPhone version delivers just about all the data you could ever want: Aircraft registration, aircraft type, airline, speed, course, route, squawk code, and more. Plane Finder HD (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plane-finder-hd/id363360792?mt=8) for iPad brings you all of the iPhone's features on a bigger screen, plus popup photos of the planes you're tracking.

Available through the iTunes Store, the iPhone version (which also works on iPad) will normally set you back $4.99, while the fuller featured Plane Finder HD is $7.99.

But we're giving away 8 of each FREE.

Just post your favorite spotting location in this thread, followed by which version you would prefer. On Saturday, April 9th, we will randomly pick 8 for each version. Entries must be posted by Friday April 8th at 11:59pm ET.

Spotting Location: Imperial Hill Airport:LAX

IPAD version.

[gonzalu]

Spots I have been to or ones I wish to go to? LOL

Well, hard to beat Bayswater while JFK is on the fours in the morning!
Recently experienced Maho Beach finally! Can you argue with proximity?

iPad version...

[Mateo]

I'll always be partial to where I first started scribbling numbers; Gravelly Point near DCA.

My favorite spot would have to be Planeview Park, NYC for La Guardia Airport! My parents have been taking me there since I was a little boy and for hours I would watch the planes and the loud noises would never bother me. Still go there today 16 years later and enjoy every second of it. Brings back great memories!

I would not spend $500+ on a super-sized iPod so iPhone version please! :)

[sporky]

Imperial Hill/In&Out LAX - toss up in my mind
iPhone please! :)

[lijk604]

LAS parking garage - iPad version for me

"THe Mounds" in the late afternoon when JFK is on the 22s. Love watching the heavies floating in over the houses.

iPhone version

[seahawks7757]

Between the runways at Nellis under escort when possible. But for public areas off base at Nellis. If possible android version.

[AirtrafficController]

The mounds on a warm summer evening. Nothing more relaxing then that.

Ipod (Iphone) version please.

[Matt Molnar]

Thanks for the entries so far. Just a heads up for something I left out: Entries must be posted by Friday, April 8th at 11:59pm ET.

[NLovis]

The AOA at JFK has yelded some very nice opportunities but it is hard to get new angles and poses. Id have to say HoBe for the beautiful rotations on departures. Nothing like a nice wing flex during a rotation. :cool:
Ipod(Iphone version) would be me. Good luck all.

[Iberia A340-600]

Myrtle Avenue at Heathrow.

iPhone version please. :)

Gravely point is as close as we get to SXM style spotting ;-)

[iloveplanes]

I like Founders Plaza at DFW

iPhone version :-)

[RomNYC]

Plainview Park at LGA :cool:

iPhone please :)

[NIKV69]

Not an apple guy but Mr. Klos nailed it. Nothing beats the top of the parking garage at LAS.

[Derf]

I just purchased this app... will see if it is better than Flight tracker pro.... So far I do like the auto update, but it has to be killer on your data plan. Good thing you can turn it on and off. +1

[george]

North Woodmere Park

iPhone please

I gotta say guys, I have that app on my Evo and it is extremely badass. Good luck!!!

[darthluke12694]

iPad version.

I'll be in BNA this weekend. Too bad I won't have time to do any spotting though. The last time I was there I only went to the observation area after trying a few places I thought would work after looking at google maps. No luck.

[Greg_NY]

Cheyenne Ave outside Nellis AFB

iPhone version

Thanks

[SoCalTxn]

On the roof of Laurel Street Parking Garage at SAN...it’s the garage that displaces the runway 1800'...although the management of the garage frowns on it, so it can be difficult...


Ipad version for me!

[megatop412]

The TSS parking lot for Kennedy. Now known as "Costco".

The place is like Corn Flakes for me; "The Original and Best"

Ipad version- then maybe I will buy an Ipad if I win

[NIKV69]

Cheyenne Ave outside Nellis AFB

Got to tell you Greg that is a good spot!

Dang too bad. But then again, it's BNA and you aren't missing too much. I haven't been to BNA for probably a year now. I haven't had that much time, and plus I live 30 miles away. Next time your here you should try Portview Drive. All it is is a dead end street.

If you are interested, here are the shots you can expect. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanuthoff/4123172415/in/set-72157617242582592

It's a pretty good area, but they sneak up on you since there is a big tree in the way.

[seahawks7757]

Got to tell you Greg that is a good spot!

Speedway is better though during the recovery ;)

[Ychocky]

South side of Alert Road anywhere along the length of Runway 25 at CYOW - Ottawa, Canada.

iPhone version, as I may get one soon!

[hiss srq]

My roof top in New York or my office...... I have a berry so whoever gives me the best propsition gets it hahahah

[NLovis]

Good luck to all entries and even if I dont win I plan on buying this app. Looks bad ass and I can find out what tail # im flying on come my trip next week and what will be around ORD and TPA. I hope I get a UAL 744 to see :biggrin:

Very difficult! LOL

[SoCalTxn]

Very difficult! LOL

you are obviously familiar...:smile:

[NIKV69]

you are obviously familiar...:smile:

It's a great spot but not worth the risk unless something good is coming plus I also found a spot up in the development just east of the highway for morning that is a lot less hot.

SXM, of course! Never been, hope to visit this year.

I sold my iPad.. Couldn't find utility in it, too much duplication with iPhone so I'll go with the iPhone version if I win.

[darthluke12694]

Not many people participated. It looks like everyone on the iPad won and only 3 people lost on the iPhone.

[donaldd]

So how exactly do you know if you won?

[donaldd]

Well that's really stupid. Of course I'm one of the lucky 3 that did not win. He should have just given it to everyone. Very un-fair.

How do you know if you won? They haven't even announced the winners yet.

[darthluke12694]

So when exactly will the winners be announced?

[Matt Molnar]

Sorry about the delay, guys...it's been a busy week.
