What's Your Hobby

We all came together because of vaping, but what are you in to outside of vaping? For me it just happens to be my career as well, airplanes! Air shows, airplane models, anything airplanes. What’s everyone in to?

Surfing. 
Use to be into my car and racing a bit, but totaled the twin turbo’d bmw sadly and don’t have the time to get a new one and build it out right now. 

 

Don’t have time for much these days, sadly. 😥

I am also into airplanes but my interest is of a more morbid variety. In particular, airplane crashes. I have always been fascinated yet terrified by powered flight and what happens when it goes horribly wrong. There is a writer who publishes accounts of air accidents on Reddit and Medium. They started out as a simple recounting of the specifics but over the years have been expanded to include facts from the official investigative reports as well as internal documents from the airlines and manufacturers. He uploads a new one every Saturday in a sub-Reddit called r/AdmiralCloudberg. 

I also just enjoy learning about all the different types and the engineering that goes into creating them. I have an app that shows all the aircraft in the sky everywhere in the world. Any time I hear a jet plane overhead I pull up the app to see what kind of plane it is and since I live on an approach path to the Indianapolis airport they are relatively low and I can get a short glimpse of them on a clear day.

My interest in planes really began when I learned that my grandfather was a pilot in the Marines. He was trained on several airplane but mostly flew the B-25 Mitchell. I don't have a picture of him with one of the planes he flew but I do have his log book that details the dates, duration and type of each individual flight.

I'm not sure what constitutes a hobby but I love travelling and I don't mean the travelling from one place to the next but rather the act of travelling, flying, taking my time to cross a country, sitting in old trains for 10 hours, sitting in boats as they crash across water, pretty much any kind of motorised movement. Cars, motorbikes, bicycles, everything, I definitely find it meditative.

I would say that is a great hobby.

Are you into the remote control airplanes as well? If so I would love to see them.  I love watching videos on them, truly fascinating to me.

Never got into remote control planes myself but also love watching videos of them

I dont necessarily have a hobby but my enjoyments to check out of the world for a minute would be kayak fishing, laying in the aun at the beach, and going to the springs paddleboarding. Those just give me a sense of peace amd reset my mind in a way.
