I could sit at the end of a runway all day long and watch planes take off and land (best place is the In-N-Out Burger on Sepulveda at the threshold of the 24R runway at LAX).

I have a collection of more than 3,500 toy airplanes (my wife is an angel) that I have amassed over the past 35 years.

I can also tell you the airline, flight number, type of airplane, seat assignment, and route of every flight I have taken since 1976 (only the ones from 1990 onward are in the database so far). 

See, I told you, I am a GEEK.

Anyway, I have always enjoyed looking at airplane cutaway drawings and the folks at FlightGlobal have made their exceptional database of these available for download on their site. Above are just a few examples of some of my favorite aircraft (Concorde, 707, 747SP, 747-400, 777-200, the Douglas SST, the Super VC10, and the Airbus Beluga)

Of course, if you would like a full-sized print of these or any other aircraft, you may purchase one from FlightGlobal here.

Enjoy!
