hyper attentive?

I've lived under airport landing lanes before, but now we're about 45 miles from the Bangor airport so we don't see all that many jets up close. We *do* see a fair number of National Guard training things, but otherwise...

So, when over our house we hear a large jet making a pretty sharp left turn, we go outside to look. And to wonder. At one point in my life a simple glance would have told me "which" jet it was.. these days I only know that it was a large two engine jet -- could be Boeing or Airbus -- and when last seen it had completed it's turn and was making a beeline for Bangor.

While we've got some interesting clouds the current local radar shows nothing of a storm... so maybe the pilot just forgot his lunch.

Sad that what was once merely interesting now is a concern.

Yeah, I miss the days when one would look up and say, "Cool, must be foggy over San Bruno Mtn, Love counting the rivets on the bottom of a 747."

Low flying planes over the San Mateo bridge are more *interesting* these days too...
