    I only look up if it sounds like a piston engine. Jets and turboprops, meh.

    Same here, except when they're real low, and we get to see that pretty often out here in the country.

    According to my Mom, I started looking up when I was still in her arms. That was 65 years ago and I'm still doing it.

    Yes, and I scan the sky for traffic while driving the car!

    Since before I could talk. I grew up under the flight pattern for STL and when the early McDonnell jets went over I'd point and go "Zizzzz."
    I haven't stopped looking but don't make airplane noises any more - at least not when there are others around;-)

    When I drive from the west coast to Oshkosh I normally see on average only about two airplanes. Most often agplanes.

    I think I'd make an exception to my not looking up at jets if I heard these guys flying overhead. It's an awesome testament to inter-service cooperation. This was a couple of days ago over NYC when the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds teamed up to pay tribute to health care professionals and first responders.
