00:00On top of concrete blocks, a half pipe and a tree stump, to capture a journey.
00:09Wow. Even if it's like a plane I've seen before, it's like, wow, that could actually take off off the ground.
00:15To see the aircrafts, enthusiasts use different spots, depending on the runway, weather conditions and time of day.
00:22They rely on tracking apps, radios and take steps to get a clear shot.
00:29It mostly gets rid of the fence line, so it's not obstructing the aircraft.
00:33But over time, construction and other additions around the airport have caused headaches for photographers.
00:38As soon as they're lifting off, the billboard cuts half of it off.
00:41I definitely reckon it's getting harder. Adelaide Airport's expanding and there's a lot of changes happening.
00:47These days, hundreds also tune in each week to live streams of regular tarmac activity.
00:52Qantas 737 making its way out as well.
00:56Some spotters, like Harrison, venture inside to watch through the windows.
00:59Every day or so, I like to come down and look around, yeah.
01:04Perth, Brisbane and Sydney all have dedicated viewing areas at their airports.
01:08And here in SA, many plane spotters are hoping Adelaide Airport will do something similar.
01:13We don't have plans for one at the moment, but in saying that we welcome plane spotters feedback.
01:17And there's plenty of that.
01:19It's like any hobby. It can live or die by the infrastructure you've got around it.
01:24I'd settle for just a tarmac raised area.
01:27An idea many hope will take off.
01:29Was it still, you know.
01:31I'm just one of the big guests.
01:32I don't have a talent for the liebe.
01:33You're the only one who has made these people!
01:36They're a lot of fun!
01:38It's a time for you to explore.
01:39It's like an épulement room.
01:41The best thing you do is you can see you can see!
01:42The best thing I see you can see is that it's a good place to play.
01:44That's your way!
01:46It's not a big fan!
01:47It's a great day!
01:48It's a great day!
01:49It's a great day!
01:50It's my pleasure to play!
01:51The best thing is the best thing to play along with all of us!
