I'm missing "if it's airworthy"... :?

Nonetheless, I'm also satisfied if someone that I trust provides me with a serial.

So suppose you see a really special a/c that has never been flown and only has served as a instructional airframe.
And how about a wreck that is almost not recodnisable.
I think these are still a/c and worth writing down.

I have got the impression that all the above responders are not really getting Crizz' point here. Crizz is wondering HOW aircraft are being considered as 'read' not WHICH aircraft...

well, in that case......................

Another issue to think about:
"do you count an aircraft of which you only see the reflection in a mirror/window etc?"
One should consider that, when looking through your binoculars, you only see a reflection as well (through a prism) :twisted:

Adding or not getting the point that's the question? ;-)

We zitten in het Praethuys, dus verder in het NL dan maar?

Een 'reflectie' in je verrekijker? grapjas, ...zo gaan we waarschijnlijk allemaal wel eens voor schut, zit immer ook een spiegel in de Spiegelreflexcamera....

:roll: hmm, hebben de mannen met een consumentencameraatje met -simpele zoeker- dan het ware middel in handen? en de zeeroverskijkergebruikers ook?

of is dat ook niet echt gelezen? dan gaan bril- en lensdragers ook voor gaas. :mrgreen:

Overigens heb ik op de Open Dag een grappig boekje over dit onderwerp gekocht:

"The Dilemmas of Aircraft Spotting, A survey of contemporary topics" door Erwin van Dijkman (2000).

Inclusief zelftest in de appendix! :)

- Als de kist fotografeerbaar voorbij komt, vanaf foto.
- Voor alle andere gevallen heb ik mijn landmeter of eyeball mk.1 :-).
- In sommige gevallen leest "de ander" indien geen camera bij mij neem ik het van deze persoon over (vetrouwen).
- SBS spotten doe ik niet aan (leuk om te weten dat een bepaald type in de buurt is, maar om nu het serial op te schrijven gaat mij te ver).

Like Maurice said, it is about HOW aircrafts are being read, and not WHICH aircraft.

Wel grappig hoe er word gespot.
Ik zelf houd wel in een apart schrift bij wat er boven Ede vliegt maar schrijf het nummer niet in mijn spottersboekje.
Er zijn wel vliegtuigen waarvan ik aan de hand van het kleurenschema kan zien welke regi erbij hoort.
Dus eigenlijk zouden die ook best wel in mijn spottersboekje kunnen
Groeten Raymond :roll:

Ik doe al meer dan 10 jaar niet meer aan nummertjes - het gaat mij enkel om de foto's. Echter, het kan soms wel handig zijn om aan de hand van het serial de geschiedenis van een kist te volgen .. dan lees ik die van de (digitale) foto af. Maar nummertjes schrijven in notitieboekjes is al jaren niet meer aan mij besteed.
