2012 Spotting Weekend Photo Thread - Sydney Airport Message Board
Have a look at some photos on this thread. Photos of plane spotters.....spotting. There is some seriously expensive lenses here.
The group is from the Sydney airport message board, and several of the airfield ops managers are also members, so they organised a day for the spotters to sit right next to the runway.
Good on the spotters I say, I have been flying myself for 22 years and still love a day down at an airport just watching, and munching some fish n chips. But I have to say nothing beats a day steam train chasing, especially when its chugging up a steep hill.
What ever the activity, if it gets people out of the house, active, doing stuff, living life then fantastic. Much better than the losers who just drink and do drugs.
