All seriousness aside, you can procure radios that pick up local air traffic (if you are near an airport.) Most air traffic transmits in the AM band. To find the frequencies to tune to, go to https://www.radioreference.com/ and you can look up the local frequencies for approach, departure. tower, etc. Larger airports will have ground traffic control for vehicle and tug traffic and taxiing planes, but that's less interesting.
I recorded Trump's arrival in AF1 to Allentown PA last year from my radio. Still have the mp3 clip. Pretty cool.
If they are getting larger, and you are NOT near an airport, move out of the way. Fast.
It’s how I got started! ??♂️ You learn a lot about local air traffic..
