I consider myself an aviation geek, because...

Re:

Oh, btw, I'm an aviation Geek too.

-Everytime I see a contrail from a window in my house, I grab my binoculars and run to see what type it is.
-Whenever I go up to Oklahoma City for a trip and we pass by the airport, I check up on the wind conditions to see from which direction planes would be inbound for OKC. When we pass by the airport, I start looking around like a storm chaser trying to find any sign of traffic.
-I get mezmerized by the sight of a plane.
-I listen to DFW ATC (or any other ATC) almost everyday, and I even do imitations of air traffic control transmissions.
-I can imagine I'm flying as if I were in actual aircraft. everything from going into the airport terminal to getting out of the airport terminal.
-I love flight trackers. Especially graphical ones.
-Gotta love the sound of turboprops and turbofans.
-I would rather go to an airport and take photos than take a girl out to dinner . (No offense to girls, that's just me.) That also answers the question of whether I have a girlfriend or not.
-I can spend hours of vacation time surfing the web for aviation news, screenshots and photos.
-Turbulence and crosswind landings just make my flight all the more exciting (as long as the upper limit isn't reached) .
-Riding heat thermals on final approach just can't be beat by any roller coaster.
-I have aviation paraphernalia from airline offices (booklets, pamphlets, etc.) No, they're not for sale.
-I dream I'm operating different aircraft from time to time.
-The perfect graduation gift for me would be a package consisting of a free ticket, a brand new digital camera and free rolls of film.
-I draw airports in paint. Like the ones in Boeing's airports page.
-Virtual airlines.
-I see commonalities between aviation and everyday things. Yeah, now it's getting into the 'scary zone." I think I'll stop here.

Happy Flying!

sounds like "just plain geek" to me. But that is just an opinion from somebody with a life..

So says the man with 2,398 posts on the J.net forums in the last nine and a half months... :P

I stand out at the airport and take pictures of planes.
I have a scanner.
I think aviation photography is one of the best ways to spend a weekend.
If I go to SXM I would be perfectly happy spending all my time at the beach near the airport.
When I go on vacation i have to visit the airport if i have a chance.
I always take pictures inflight.
I would rather go to the airport to take pics than to a party.
I'm gonna get a radeon 9800 pro because FS will run superiorly with it.
I cannont play FS with out realistic addons such as PSS because freeware and default aircrafts suck and the experiance is unrealistic.
I'm gonna get a job when i become 16 just so i can get a 300D so i can have a better camera to take pictures of planes.
I argue with AA agents when they change my seat from being a window to a non window or a seat with a bad view.
I have to have a window seat on every flight or i will die.
I spent about half hour once talking with a United Airbus pilot about aircraft systems.
Becides being an aviation geek I'm also a computer geek.
Instead of going to the mall on weekends i play FS all day/night or do something else on the computer.
Happiness comes in the form of good compter hardware, good system performance in FS, having a DVD burner, getting shots accepted at a.net.
I have not yet achieved perfect happiness because I don't have a good video card so FS performs crapily so i just stopped playing it for now until i get a Radeon 9800 .
My best friend is also a geek.
I have no real social life.
Never gone out with a girl and i'm 15.
Mabey the problem there is b/c i'm kinda shy to ask one out.
Or mabey it's the fact that i would rather go to the airport anyways...

This list is starting to get depressing so hopefully this is geeky enough for ya . Now where do i find a pair of think glasses .

Oops... yeah, I wouldn't need any film. Thanks for spotting that!
