Mine are as follows...in no particular order!!
Taking trips, listening to music, horseback riding, camping, fishing, skating, watching Cart, F1 & Nascar racing, taking pictures and spending as much time with REAL friends as possible!!! Hanging out at the airport spotting whenever I can is probably #1 .

It's an entirely different kind of flying; all together.

I'm the same as MerC, drink beer and chase girls, however, it was seven years ago when I last caught one! Either they run very fast or the ecess beer is giving me some "relaxed muscle" at the front. When I am not doing that I go fishing - again, prob 7 years ago when I last caught. Better keeping to the planes and socialising. Speaking of which, it is my AB) (FRA / FRF / EDDF), Germany">FRA trip soon, the best place to combine my interests.

Reading (a bit)
Photography ( a lot now)
Flying (try not too much, 'cause it's hurting my wallet)
Hiking (beautiful mountains around)
Spending time with friends
Not really into spotting myself, as I get bored easily after 30 minutes alone at the airport. However, I like the social side of spotting with friends, chatting between planes... etc...
