    I do airplane models. Recently, I got a good pair of binos and a scanner so I can watch and track anything flying over my house. Caught a couple of Blackhawk helis overhead a few weeks ago.

      Listening to ATC can be fun. I was tuning in one day and heard the controller hang up abruptly, then a few seconds later she responded and there was raucous laughter in the background. You could tell somebody just told a really good joke. In general, professional radio operators are good at keeping very cool and mechanically professional, but occasionally you get to peer through the cracks.
