    Great Popular Mechanics Planespotting Article (now online!)

    Really great article on planespotting in May's issue of Popular Mechanics. Very lengthy and in-depth. It starts on page 90.

    Indeed, probably the most thorough mainstream media article about the hobby I've ever read (and I'm not just saying that).

    FYI, it will be online early next week. :)

    Amazing article. Really well written! He should come to NY some time! As can be seen in the opening picture in the article, there is a set of binoculars at that overlook, which may be Imperial Hill,(never been to LA). NYPD and NCPD should read this...
