My interest in ATC grew from listening (never a spotter but an avid listener). I wanted to be a pilot until I learned of the hidden chaps and chapesses keeping the metal apart. There's no harm in it. I do agree though that in this media driven world there is always some scumbag looking for an angle. I noticed that ITVs TERROR IN THE SKIES !!!!!!!!!!!! was about..........ermm.......security staff falling asleep. While not particularly acceptable - hardly the bloodbath that the program title hinted at....
