    Why do they take themselves soooooooooo seriously?

    I think anyone who runs around looking at planes is acting like a 14 yr. old kid.

    Truth is I think most Plane Spotters need a hobby.

    Ever fly a kite?

    Charles,

    1. Maybe because you like to insult them is why they take themselves seriously.

    2. I think anyone who is irrevernt to others because of their hobby is acting like a High School Freshman.

    3. Truth is YOU need hobby other than surfing internet forums

    4. Ever jump in a lake?

      Robert he is a pilot, you cant tell by the ego? I actually talked to Shady in a Chat room once, and right away his ego proved he was a pilot. He is the stereotypical cargo pilot, rude and with an ego so big, rumor is, that when he boards his aircraft his ego is so big he has to enter through the cargo doors. If people on this board would stop viewing his posts or responding to his posts his ego would not be able to stand it and he would find elsewhere to feed his ego, but as long as he can stir up contraversy and we feed his ego he is probaly going to stay!

        And I am even more sick and childish: After seeing 1000s of aircraft taking off from 36L @Beijing Capital Airport, I still think it’s a miracle that these beasts fly (and I’ve seen everything from C172 to An225 here).

        Aaaand...yes: I have some other hobbies.

        My point exactly.

        Who doesn't enjoy watching a plane?

        From the start of time it has been the dream of man to fly. I ask--how many other pursuits are so ingrained in the concious of man? I dare say no other.

        The ancients did not dream of skyscrapers, automobiles, televisions, telephones, radios. But flight was in thier soul.

        Even today watch a pilot and even though he flies for a job, there is enjoyment in watching a passing plane.

        -------------------------

        Jorge---I post on two Forums and average less than two post per day.

        You have no sense of humor and I feel sorry for you. I imagine you so rigid that you are offended by the dial tone of your phone when you pick it up to make a call.

        Of all the people you really need a hobby.

        Hope to see you in the chat room soon if there is room for both of us. [img]laff.gif[/img] [img]laff.gif[/img]

          ITS,

          In the UK you would be known as a sh*t stirrer.
          This is a definite and specific genre of humour and an acquired taste, hence some of the posters here don't like your particular flavour.

          Keep it up and let's hope others can read between your lines. I'm not certain that I can but I'm having a damn good try. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

            I know several pilots, my CFI was actually a cargo pilot once.. But he doesnt make fun of the guys who sit out at the airport all day long and watch planes saying that are acting like kids when in fact it would be the person making fun of the "kids" who is acting rather childish.
            I know a 757 pilot who likes to watch planes..




            I find ITS rather annoying and not funny.

                        Well this is hard to top:

                        "Life is a waterfall
                        We drink from the river,
                        Then we turn around and put up our walls

                        Swimming through the void
                        We hear the word,
                        We lost ourselves,
                        But we find it all?"

                            My horoscope for today:

                            Leo - Obnoxious people are just looking for a reaction. Speak resolutely to the outer professional and watch the inner brat vanish. Leo is a master at calming down a jumpy situation.


                            I dont know what the rest of it means but it says something about obnoxious people and well.. you know!!

                              ITS…

                              OK…then we have the same understanding. And no problem with your ego or the little poet inside you, pal [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] . Yes…I love plane spotting, but I don’t make a dogma out of it. And flying is really something…

                              Back to the initial post…and I am not kidding.

                              On 27-Oct-2002 around 11:00 hrs I saw in the skies over Beijing a plane with 4 contrails and the shape of a MD8x (but apparently bigger). It was FL300 or so. I am (almost) sure that it was an IL62. But which airline operates this monster and flies over Chinese territory? I don’t need the tail-number and the colour of the first officer’s underwear. The airline would be ok for me.

                                I'm still confused.

                                I'll go back to Fluid Mechanics homework now.
