Question Up "there"?

Guys,

I keep popping into this “spotters” area now and I was just wondering: Why do you, as non-pilot/flyer spotters not fly? Is it the expense? Medical? (Not intended to be an intrusive question and I’m sorry if it offends anyone) lack of the motivation? Or something else?

Please don’t get me wrong. I don’t want this post to sound like I’m trying to expose all your faults but I know that, in general, spotters are committed to aviation and think of it as a part of their lives. But if this is the case why not pop down your local flying club and take an hour in a 152 for £45?

Please feel free to totally ignore this post but I just want to find out how spotters generally feel about aviation and what makes them so committed to the industry yet not step up to the cockpit?

This is obviously not aimed at those dual hat pilot/spotters (Of which I am proudly one!)
