"I've never sat at the airport for hours just watching planes! Even pilots think those guys are sad b*stards!"
I don't think they're sad, cause ive been there and done that, and a lot of those people will be in the pilots seat in a number of years, if you would get bored just sitting down at an airport watching aircraft, well you won't be much good sitting in the flightdeck for hours on end, day after day, year after year. Flying is a passion without question.
