First and foremost, the Explaination of my User Name:
KPWM is the ICAO Code for the Portland International Jetport, the regional airport serving southern Maine. A Spotter, or "plane spotter" is a fan of aviation who watches, tracks and photographs aircraft. Thus, as KPWM_Spotter, I am an aviation fanatic whose local airport is KPWM.
[edit] About me
As mentioned above, I currently reside in Maine, in the suburb of Gorham. My real name is Kevin Porter, and I am currently studying at Gorham High School as a Junior. I am seventeen years old currently, and my hope is that no one will form any pre-conceived notions about me due to my age. I would like to think of myself as something other than your "average" teenager, but I will let my actions and edits on Wikipedia dictate how you think of me. See how a simple javascript and HTML test scores my personal philosophy.
[edit] Contact Information
As a Wikipedian I always assume good faith, but if you need to contact me for any reason, feel free to contact me via my Talk Page, or via E-Mail, or just drop a message if you feel like talking. I'll try to respond as soon as possible.
[edit] Wikipedia, and Me.
Aviation being a major hobby of mine, most of my Wikipedia edits fall under that broad general category. Following is a list of noteable edits of mine. Those in bold I have put a good amount of time into. Those that are both bold and italicized are articles which I have started from scratch.
