In the last hour as I've sat here by the computer, I've seen three 747's (2 Lufthansa, 1 KLM), a 757,  one 737, and about a dozen of those little business jets that look like a miniature MD-80...

Oops, there goes a Swiss Air 767 or an Airbus.  Unfortunately, I'm not good enough to tell some times.

didnt you get the warning to only drink bottled water or boil the stuff you get from the tap.

Pippin. If these were something other than flying cigar tubes I might be interested. You admitted yourself that it's difficult to tell one from another. I think we need to have a little chat. Tongue

You pretty much get the idea.  I live right near the glide path for runway 32L at O'hare.  I get this view most days.  When I don' I get to see them taking off!  Grin

Yeah Doug, you know what I prefer to pretend to fly.  Smiley  But when a 747 or a or a 777 comes floating past your picture window, it's a little hard not to respect that!  I also found a spot to sit and watch that's right by the touchdown and takeoff point about 200 feet from runway 22!  Close enough to smell the jet fuel.

I must admit to doing that myself once upon a time. Of course, in those days they were proper aeroplanes like the Ambassador, Viscount, Britannia, Super Connie, Stratocruiser, DC-6, DC-7 + the odd Comet & 707. Wink
