    I went to the airport a few days ago to spend a few hours plane spotting. Just felt like sharing the photos with fellow aviation enthusiasts out there

    And a day plane spotting without snapping a few shots of a Cathay Pacific aircraft wouldn't be a day of plane spotting...so here they are!

    wow... so you sit there for hours and just take pictures of planes?

    you're lucky you aren't middle eastern, you'd be in jail as we speak ^_^.

    I'm guessing you're aspiring towards becoming a pilot?

    You can go that close to take photos with no one to question you.

    Security drove past and just asked us not to be right up against the fence. But yeah, it's fine, it's a well known spot

    i think security at sydney airport needs to be stricter....couple days ago some guy died cause bunch of bikeys came and beat him up using those post things >.> and apparently the security cant find the security tapes,,,,,,

    But anyways i got photos from the avalon air show too, so maybe ill post them wen i have time :D Qantas brought the A380 to the show, so big

    You can take up a Trial Instructional Flight at your local airport, and then if you're interested go into their training course and build up your hours and earn your licences. Once you have a CPL (commercial Pilot's Licence) you can start earning money as a professional pilot. If you're interested in Airlines, then you need to earn an ATPL (air transport pilots licence) and earn a lot of hours before you can apply.

    Another route is to go for a cadetship with an airline such as QANTAS, Etihad or Cathay Pacific or Singapore, etc.

    The view of planes taking off is such a beautiful site. It is also hard to witness such lovely sites living in the heart of urban areas
