How to know the Exact Plane?

I have seen some clever sods in here actually being able to name the precise plane being used on a specific flight - call sign , type, loading, paint colour, carpet weave, inside leg measurement etc etc.

How do you do this?

Err....

a) Some of us are really sad and need to get out more.
Some of the data you get to know by flying, some of it is contained in press releases or other online media. Some of it is knowing people. Just like people say they are flying to XXX with VS, and I can instantly reply on VSxx then, and usually give them the times of their flight and the potential planes they will be travelling on.

b) Some work for VS, and can view the flight status and details on the internal systems

Thanks,
Richard

P.S. - I'm of variety A.

Well at least thats an honest answer - strangely they more I use this site the more drawn in I am - and all this from a simple pm you made to me on the Tropical Travel site!!! I will be up on the multi storey at LHR before you know it taking down numbers and wearing an anorak!!!! Hahahahahahah

Already booked my SA seats and my St Lucia seats - great sytstem helped enormously by this site - even the cust serv rep at FC was impressed!!!

Anyway - keep up the good work - but yes - GET OUT MORE!!!!

As for anorak and taking down flight numbers from the Multi-Storey, err no. I spend enough time at my 3rd home (LHR)for flights thank you very much.

Thanks,
