Its the train spotters you have to watch your back with, they like to pelt things at you if you dare get in there way!
I'm lucky to be in the industry and get to spot all day long & take the odd photo or heaps. I have spotted at a lot of airports also and haven't come across any bad ones yet and most go out of there way to show me the good photo spots. I always wear my ASIC (even land side) so everyone knows who I am and that i pose no risk.
I am sure there are some freaks out there, but i haven't seem them as yet luckily. Have seen and delt with some rude pilots in my time though.
Aerodromes are for aircraft, not fecking spotters.
True, but if they are not doing any harm whats the problem? If they were airside and starting giving you grief then thats another story of course.
