Young plane spotters in İzmir turn passion into aviation dream
İZMİR
A group of young aviation enthusiasts in the western province of İzmir is staking out the skies to capture striking aircraft photography, aiming to leverage their passion into future careers in the industry.
The fascination with aircraft shared by 18-year-old Doğuege Vural and his 17-year-old friend Onat Eronat, both residents of the city, began at an early age and gradually evolved into “spotting,” a hobby widely known as aviation or aircraft photography.
Scouting the perimeters of airports to capture aircraft at the perfect moment, the duo launched a website in 2024 to bring fellow spotting enthusiasts together.
