Getting to Know PHX Planespotters One Shot at a Time

Planespotting is a newly found hobby for 30-year-old Phoenix plane spotter Ryan, who moved to Scottsdale from Monterey, California in 2000. He discovered his passion for planespotting during a recent trip to Los Angeles in July 2023 where he met many talented planespotters. He quickly realized what an amazing hobby it is and has been doing it ever since. He’s been fascinated by airplanes since he was a kid and owned a model airport. His favorite planes are Boeing 747-400, Airbus A350-900, and Boeing 787-9. One day, he hopes to become a pilot or do something in the aviation industry.
