A plane-spotter’s paradise
Ironically, the nearby planes were the last thing on her mind when she first fell in love with Flyvergrillen, and she still feels that way.
“I enjoy flying and travelling, but I’m not a plane enthusiast at all myself. To be honest, I’ve grown so accustomed to the sound that I hardly even notice them anymore,” she says of her airborne neighbors.
Still, the plane spotters are a fixture of the place, even if they don’t frequent the grill itself that much. An elusive community of mostly middle-aged men (although Jannie does recall at least two women), they sometimes spend entire days camped out by the barbed-wire fence separating the airport from the rest of the world, their cameras equipped with long-focus lenses the length of a small arm.
