Glad to see the forum up and running! Thanks Ken!
Now, on to business. I like seeing photo's of the same aircraft from different airports. Has anyone kept an eye out for them? Real interesting to see a local favorite at a different airport!

You are welcome.
I can extract a list of aircraft which has photos on 2 or more airports, manually. But then you need to go to individual aircraft profile page to check the photos.

Michael, you will see a number of examples of California-based aircraft photographed at different airports between Dean Heald's photos, Steve Nation's photos and mine. There are probably other examples, also. Dean covers Los Angeles County and Ventura County airports, I cover Ventura County airports and Steve seems to leave no California airport unturned without photographs at it! Our good weather, many aircraft based and constant flying makes many examples of aircraft seen and photographed at numerous airports.
Ken's idea of looking at all aircraft phjotos on a Profile Page will turn up numerous examples, especially in the warbird and experimental categories, but also in "Wichita Tin". There are also a lot of aircraft type-based organizations with California flyins, the Piper J3 Cubs annual meeting at Lompoc is just one example. The first Sunday of the month Aviation Museum of Santa Paula Day at SZP also brings a lot of transient aircraft pictured at many California airports, sometimes on the same day by different photographers! The event is a good way to get rare and precious aircraft out of their hangars, and also has personal property tax advantages for aircraft 25 years or older (tax is waived for 12 public annual showings) in California.
Many of my photos show the same aircraft at SZP and at CMA. You can't get jet-turbine fuel at SZP, so the Turbine Legends fly over to CMA to refuel. But, OXR is difficult as there is practically no photo access, save one limited area near the terminal.
Here's a couple of hits that I have had.
N477EC Beagle B.206 SERIES 2 spotted KRFD & KMIC
N377QS - Citation 560 seems to get around, it has spotted at DWH PDK BTV VGT
Warbirds and to some extent air transports are more likely to have multiple spotters. Just go over to www.airliners.net
I love those "QS" tails - NetJets! They are all over the place!

Interesting. I didn't know that NetJets had a grabbed on to Quebec Sierra as its trademark.
Me niether. I just found that out a couple of weeks ago while spotting with some friends at McCarran. A 'QS' BizJet would come in and somebody would say - 'There's another NetJet'. I've found by searching FAA, they are usually co-owned with other companies - sometimes they have many past registered owners.
Michael, I have added a great Paul Perry photo to my Kfir-C2 Article, showing a spectacular afterburner climb of N406AX at a South Carolina airport, as I recall. My static photos of N406AX were taken almost a year earlier at NTD, Point Mugu, CA.
