I can see my apartment from the airport every time I fly in or out of Singapore. It never fails to make me smile.
This has only happened to me a couple times, all from the window of a family friend’s small plane. The airport in my town isn’t exactly running international flights … I don’t even know if there’s a control tower. Ha! Anyway, it is pretty awesome; it’s like a real-time Google Earth. It’s fun to see all the places you know from a very different perspective. Love it!
Everything and anything about flying is awesome! (Can you tell I’ve only been on a plane a few times?)
I just like how everything looks like plastic, like the scenery that comes with a train set. :D
I’ve flown more than a few times, and I still think it’s awesome! The whole going-through-security thing isn’t exactly a blast, but the feeling of taking off, the feeling of landing, the feeling of looking out the window and seeing everything down below… that is totally AWESOME :)
wow, its awesome! you know its really excited if you can spot you house from airplane ;)
I know that if I ever get on a plane I will be looking for things I can recognize, including my house!
First time on a plane tonight jetting off to ibiza! I’ll be certain to check it out! ;)
There is no way I can spot my house in Los Angeles.. haha but it is awesome to be .02% sure that I can actually see it! Look for it every single time.. :)

My house is a 40 minute drive from the airport so I doubt I’ll ever see my house from an airplane. :(
Lana, I’m with you – I’m about an hour from the airport, so I can’t see my house from a plane, but I do love watching the city come into view as I approach home (yay Philadelphia!!)
And my house is right off the train station, so I also enjoy spotting my house, and other familiar things by train – even if that’s not as exciting as spotting them by plane :)
Philadelphia! Woot woot!
Spotting familiar houses from an airplane is indeed awsome! I took a trip with my parents, who I live 15 miles away from, and I bet them we would fly closer to my house than theirs, or I would buy drinks during the layover when we landed. I lost the bet but the drinks were thoroughly enjoyed.
I’ve never experiencexd this, but it sounds cool!
I’ve actually done this before, it was the coolest thing ever!!!
Even better, taking off and looking out your window and seeing your office/place of employment right beneath you! Goodbye coworkers!
What really get’s me are all the colours of the world, especially forests, farms and parks.
Perfect day for posting this! I just flew back yesterday from three months abroad, and the highlight of my 16-hour travel day was the last half hour of the plane ride, where I craned my neck over the lady sitting next to me to peer out the window and see HOME!
Seriously? =)))
I’m able to spot NY home most of the times I return to Pendleton on SeaPort
I’ve never experiencexd this, but it sounds cool
