There's one advantage to living diagonal from an airport flight path. In fact, there's an advantage to living in a small city with an airport... plane watching.
It's easy, especially when you have dogs that like to explore for endless hours whenever they go outside(even though it's the same garden they explored the last time they went out, meh). While they entertain themselves, I always find myself looking up to see the incoming flights.
Orange plane - Jetstar. Red body, that'll be Virgin. White, Qantas. Large and slim, commercial (wonder if I'll be bumping into any of those tourists). Small with markings, outback flight.
