If I want to follow the flights I just stand outside the front, one every few minutes, couple of k's away, but they fly into Perth all night sometimes, none of this 11pm rule!

My house is under the flightpath for the East Sale RAAF Base when they use runway 09 (ie the wind is coming from the east). Planes generally pass over my house at about 500ft. Lots of Pilatus PC-21s, quite a few King Air B300s and the occasional visitor such as 737-BBJs, C-27J Spartans or C-130Js. we quite often get displays from the Roulettes as they do their practice work for upcoming air shows, as well.

Oh, and we're under the flighpath for any aircraft travelling between Melbourne and Aukland, or vice versa. But, at about 30,000 ft, there's not much to see really. Although, even at that altitude, you can still pick out if it's an Air New Zealand or Qanatas aircraft.

But I've been living in Sale for most of my life and am very used to this level of traffic.
