I think it would have been easier to list what you don't see very often Cloud9! ;D

Ya my mom and dad decided that if we did move (hopefully never ::) ) we'd have to get a real estate agent who could find us a house according to the flight patterns ;D ::) 8) ;)

I live right under the main approach to BHX and the departure from CVT. So the highlight of my day is the daily arrival of Air India's 777 and Emirates 777 and a330. Also every morning on my way to college i can see Continental's 757 on final
Where's the challenge in landing with wheels?

Since I live where Willit does I see the same stuff. I must remember to take some pictures though. Have to figure out how the new camera works before June, I'll be up in one of those DLH 747s with 20 other kids and Herr Moehlmann from East. I have to get some pictures from my grandparents house. When they line up for final they fly directly along her street.

I live directly under the downwind leg from the Ockham STAR for runways 27L & 27R into LHR. Concorde used to pass right over my house at 3000 ft, then bank into a steep left turn which i used to watch from my garden  :'( .
Now all we see is the LHR traffic, the occasional "Traffic spotter" GA from local radio, and the police chopper.
On my way to work in Epsom, i regularly see the stack over OCK VOR which always looks busiest on a Monday morning, with sometimes more than 5 or 6 jets visible in any one moment.

I get 737s and every type of turboprop imaginable on the runway 8/17 STAR for Philadelphia.  We also have low flying Apaches, A-10s and C-130s out of Willow Grove and Dover.

The rest of the time we have plenty of GA and helicopters (my school is a designated medivac LZ)

 Will you need a chaperone for that trip?  I will be available to make sure you kids don't get out of hand. I'll have to contact Karl ( sorry Mr. Moehlmann ).
What's a Foreign Languages Teacher taken you for?  I don't know him, just heard of him.
