Uhm...great thread
Being a self confessed and proud aircraft photographer and semi spotter I see no problem in the hobby at all...yeah you can maybe put it down to a mental illness that is the root of my infliction...but at least i'm not out there beating up little old ladies, shop lifting, smoking dope ( even though spotting can send you to the verge of that ) etc.....
But just to add another angle to the thread what about all those in the RAF who are under cover spotters? Aircrew, Engineers etc etc....oh I have met many during my time in the mob....many! As I was once told by an unnamed Hercules pilot "gives me something to do down route".
Surely a few of you are out there reading this! Don't be embarrased...COME OUT and be PROUD
I AM
