Re: Question for spotters
Prior to 9/11 I saw a spotter at the PHX airport furiously jotting down numbers as planes came and went, as I was waiting to fly back to EWR I nudged my captain who was sitting next to me, and remarked about this spotter "being in heaven". The captain got up and went to the spotter and played "20 questions" My captain had no earthly idea what spotting was all about. Needless to say the poor spotter left and went elsewhere.
