Nothing wrong with being a fan of the civilian stuff. Just go to an airport in Europe and look at how many "spotters" are hanging out watching the planes come and go (AMS and FRA come to mind). I'd say it has grown over the years here in North America too, but the post 9/11 paranoia has made it a little more difficult.
I'm a spotter and proud of it, I love 'em all. From the little Cessna's to the widebodies and the military stuff too!
