Five Signs That You’re An Avgeek

Many times in my past posts I’ve referenced the term “avgeek.”  This is a term that describes us airline, airplane, aviation fans who love anything and everything to do with this fascinating industry.  The avgeek population is very diverse, but we all seem to have similar traits when it comes to aviation.  I’ve listed a few signs below that may indicate you are an avgeek.  I know there are many other signs I’m missing, so please share your thoughts in the comments section below! 5)  One of your favorite restaurants to grab a meal is the In-N-Out Burger located at the end of the runway at the Los Angeles International Airport. Rob1 4)  You compete with fellow avgeeks on how many flights you’ve flown, what unique routes you’ve traveled, and the type of aircraft you’ve flown on and track them all on websites like www.flightmemory.com  (Yes, this is my lifetime domestic map so far!) Rob2 3)  You have a minimum of five airplane window view pictures like this in your mobile device photo album. Rob3 2)  As a kid, receiving a pair of these was like getting candy. Rob4 1)  You have airplane models on your desk at work. Rob5
