Question for spotters
Hi there.
Although this may sound like a stupid question, but it is a serious one that I have to ask none the less, if only to satisfy my own curiosoty.
Do any of you every actually fly on these planes that you take pictures of, or is that not the appeal of it?? I am not having a go or a dig. It is a serious question.
I often see losts of spotters hanging around LHR and LCY where I both work, and depending on the persons attitude, may move on. They are always taking pictures, but they never seem to fly.
I would have thought that with the low low fares of today, you'd be flying to other airports to spot from airside both ends, and then fly back home again..??
Oh and a little tip as not to get any problems from the local po-po. DON'T take pictures of squad cars/personnel and/or Security Posts. In this day and age you will most likely end up seeing at first hand EXACTLY how your taxes are put to good use....
