I've actually seen maybe 2 Dash 8s in the last couple of weeks...other than that, it's just the big jets up at 25,000+ ::)

A few weeks ago i was at my buddy's house, and everyone was bored so i took off to one of the hangers to check out this old Beech Baron, i went and opened up the door got in and was looking around, then i decided to start up the avionics and stuff, but the battery was dead so i couldn't, which was a bummer.
anyway that plane feels so big when your in it, the cabins small of course but it just felt like a lot of plane compared to the cessnas i flew

I see a whole lot of planes flying over where I work. To bad they don't allow me to bring a camera. Today I saw what I believed to be a Piper Cheiften. Not sure though, a lot of those small piston twins look alike.

Daily basis:

Boeing 747 and I think 767 comming in to Ostend airport

Ecureuille Chopper from the hospital near the place I work.

Less regular:

Seakings (Belgian army) for the Koksijde base

Alphajets

Specials:

A 707 Awacs-bird... that was an awsome sight... came low over doing some banking to get on a glidepath towards Ostend I think

3 special props... guess Tucanos, though I'm not sure they fly in Belgium

C-130 on route to Ostend or Koksijde

Saw an F-117 Nighthawk flyby on my way to the USAF Museum the other day.  That was pretty exciting...  :)

I live right between the glide paths for both runways 32 at O'hare, so if I want to see a school bus, all I have to do is step out of my back door.  I do that quite often, in fact some times I sit out there with binoculars and watch them fly by.  I can get a great view as they are usually around 500 ft when they pass me.

Pilot: O'hare tower, pilot is unfamiliar with the area, please give directions towards the airport

Tower: just watch for the strange looking bearded guy sitting on his rooftop... we're just a mile away from that!

I often hold up signs instructing the female pilots to show various parts of their anatomy to me.  Sometimes it even works...  ;D

Really though, with my Binos I can read tail numbers...
