Dean. What type of airplane was it that attracted the interests of so many
photographers?

Fort Lauderdale is a tourist destination and many plane spotters and
photographers will visit FLL and MIA when in the area. Not to forget that
the viewing area in question is about as close as you can get to a runway at
a major airport. I've met a lot of people from around the country and Europe
that knew about that spot and wanted to visit it. There used to be holes in
the fence for cameras but those were removed.

The images are over a two day period as you can see the person who got
stopped by the police is wearing a different shirt in other shots.

That's really quite interesting. I didn't realize anyone else shared my
interest in photographing aircraft.

The city I live in has its main airport {YWG} well within the city's
boundaries. It's no problem to get at least as close to the flight
operations here, as was shown in your photos. The added plus is that the
civilian airport shares its runways with the local Air Force base. We get a
nice, steady mix of civil and military aircraft types coming and going on a
regular basis. I can even stand and photograph aircraft at either end of the
runway - right among the lights, just short of the piano keys. If we had the
same high traffic levels you get there, this would become an absolute Mecca
for spotters.
