How "airplane people" see the world

Tom Cruise as "Count von Stauffenberg", from his new film "Valkyrie"

Normal people: Hey look, its Tom Cruise!

Airplane people: Hey look at that, its a Junkers JU-52! Wow I'll bet its that one that Martin Caidin used to own. I sure hope its not just a movie prop. I wish that dork actor would get out of the way of the shot so I can see the landing gear. I wonder if there will be any scenes of it flying in the movie? Wow, that will be cool!

And Mr. Cruise, being an airplane guy himself, would know exactly what I mean.
