No First Person Writing. And yes, that counts even though a pronoun was never used because of the “(I have) no idea how” part.


* In ''Manga/HoneyAndClover'', Takemoto pulls off a completely platonic RaceForYourLove toward Morita, but gets there too late. He ends up behind a chain link fence outside the airfield. No idea how he knows which plane it was, but he hurls some choice epithets at it as it goes by.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' episode "Losing Ice", Ice Bear leaves his brothers and gets a job at a Japanese ''teppan'' restaurant after getting tired of being taken for granted. Once Grizzly and Panda have their HeelRealization, they rush to the restaurant to apologize, only for the head chef to tell them that Ice Bear left for the airport. The brothers rush there, but assume they were too late when they see a plane leaving. Except [[SubvertedTrope Ice Bear wasn't actually going to work as a chef in Japan]]; he just got a job at a restaurant ''in the airport''.

Characters standing outside an airport always know exactly which plane has their beloved on it, even if they lost a RaceForYourLove. At a busy airport, there might be many outbound flights, but characters psychically know which one is theirs.

* Used in ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}'': When Tom Hanks' character (Jim Lovell) takes off for Florida, his wife watches from the yard as his plane flies over the house. Justified by the plane being a white T-38 Talon, and also by the likelihood that Lovell would have set up his flight plan specifically to allow the pass. (NASA has maintained a fleet of T-38s, as chase planes and astronaut trainer/taxis, for a very long time, and the agency's fleet livery is white with sky blue pinstriping which wouldn't have been visible from the ground.)
** Taken UpToEleven in a later scene, where Jim Lovell looks down at the Earth through a window in the lunar module, and his wife ''stares back up at him from her living room''.

* Parodied in '' WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Marge vs the Monorail"; the [[TorchesAndPitchforks pitchfork-wielding]] citizens of North Haverbrook not only know that [[SnakeOilSalesman Lyle Lanley]] is on the plane making an unscheduled layover in their town, they specifically know he's in seat 3F. Either it's pure RuleOfFunny, or they actually engineered his plane being rerouted in order to take their revenge...

* The FullyAutomaticClipShow in the third act of ''Anime/FiveCentimetersPerSecond'' includes a flashback to Takaki leaving the southern islands for good while Kanae watches his plane take off. Justifiable in that it is a small community he's leaving.



* ''Amazing ComicBook/SpiderMan'' #93: Peter Parker wants to head straight to Gwen Stacy and confess his SecretIdentity before she leaves (due to the death of her dad, which was somwehat caused by Spidey.) Unfortunately, a fight delays him and he rushes to the info desk. The receptionist tells him the plane is departing. Peter turns and looks out the window - sure enough, the plane's just left.

* On ''WebVideo/{{TableTop}}'', playing out the Aftermath of a game of ''TabletopGame/{{Fiasco}}'', Wil Wheaton describes his character "looking out the window as the Pan Am flight to Los Angeles goes past", wishing he was on it. Alison Haislip offers a tongue-in-cheek lampshade: "And it says on the side of the plane, "Pan Am Flight To Los Angeles."
