As an aviation enthusiast, I have always gazed up to the sky whenever the sound of an aircraft engine is nearby just to identify the airplane flying by.
Today I will try and put the names to the picture of some of the most common aircraft you are likely to see. I hope this helps you put the names to the planes as you continue to gaze up in the interest of the big birds.
