I’m not a planespotter, just here from /all. Out of curiosity, are these pictures of interesting planes or liveries, or just regular old activity at the airport?
If there’s something noteworthy about the picture, could you mention it if it won’t be obvious to those of us not in the know?
If you just like pictures of any old planes, then you do you!
It’s special livery because it’s a government plane, so it’s likely carrying a VIP.
Mostly, I try to go for interesting liveries or planes (like the Compass Call I posted earlier). Or, sometimes a plane is cool just because it’s old, or a converted warbird or something.
At the end of the day though, it’s all just pictures from regular old activity at the airport, I like to scroll through aviation communities to see what photos others have shared, so I’m trying to go for that vibe too.
It seems /all is used here more than reddit, it wouldn’t hurt to describe a why for some of them. To me it seemed obvious, but for a non-nerd I could totally see them saying “uh ok, yes that is a plane”.
Came from /all too but that sweeping line, with the dark blue on a night sky, really emphasises the curve of the plane, in the same way a well tailored dress emphasises a lady’s curves. Beautiful stuff :) Maybe don’t show this to the NCD freaks, though.
I used /all back on Reddit too, and it’s great to see you adding some non-political, non- Linux content for us!
Thank you for explaining, and thank you for contributing content to the Fediverse.
