Plane Spotting

One of my interests is anything related to airplanes.  In an earlier part of my life I learned to fly gliders and got my private pilot's license.  The airplane big has been a part of my life since very early on.  I come by it honestly as my Dad was an air traffic controller and now an investigator for the Canadian Transportation Safety Board.

With the recent storm and resulting destruction in Haiti the airways are becoming crowded.  We often see the UN helicopters flying over our house.  But this week we have seen all sorts of helicopters flying up and down the coast, with some airplanes and ships thrown in the mix.  Here are some of those we have seen.  Can you name them?
