The aviation industry might have lost the heady glamour of its early years but new technology has only fuelled Irish plane-spotters’ passion for flight

He’s been doing this since he was a boy. Why? “I’ve been interested in planes since I was three or four,” Cvetkovic says. “We live fairly close toAirport, and my parents took me a few times to look at the planes. Then I got a book on planes as a present when I was five. It just went from there.
His first flying route was into the Royal Air Force, where he eventually flew and instructed others to fly the powerful Panavia Tornado ground-attack aircraft, although Hutchison’s time on’s 13 Squadron was spent flying aircraft with their 20mm canon replaced with a high-tech video reconnaissance pod, which he used to help enforce the post-Gulf War no-fly zones over southern Iraq. After those experiences, he switched to commercial aviation.
As with anything, Hutchison says, pilots can improve their technique. “After a while – like playing golf, or sailing, or snooker – you get better at it,” he says. He adds that it’s difficult for pilots to ensure smooth landings when conditions and circumstances differ so much, with pilots possibly negotiating landings at airports from New York to Johannesburg on any given week.
All of which, combined with Hutchison’s commentary over videos in which aircraft wobble, bounce and occasionally slam their way down on to the world’s runways, might make some people who are already nervous about flying even more concerned. However, Hutchison says his aim is to create the opposite effect.
