2. Exactly.
I live pretty close to MSP, so when planes fly over my house (which is all the time), they are very easy to identify. I don't even have to look up any more.

4. Telephoto lens. But yeah, they are low.
That was a departure, but when they are landing on 12L they are inside the outer marker and fully configured for landing by the time they get to my place. I can just about wave to the passengers...

10. MSP probably wouldn't have thunder, lightning and windshear on Dec. 20.
There might be a nice blizzard, though.

I've experienced windshear in a full-motion simulator and it's really hair-raising.
