Indeed. Among the endless variety of things people do with
their spare time are trainspotters and planespotters. This
seems to be more popular in Britain than in the US, but
I wonder if even over there people who park themselves near
airports railway statiions, obsessively noting the arrival
and departure of each vehicle, attract the attention of 
security?
