Are they not buses? :P :)


I was actually going to use that argument.....but they are now pretty rare and interesting large transport types, not common airliners....

Well, they are still buses if you want to be pedantic. :P
No names, no pack drill but there seems to be a lot of unnecessary & childish niggling among some of the younger spotters on this forum. Worse than a lot of old women. A sort of one-upmanship & inverted snobbery that makes me feel like banging their heads together. ::) There's room for everyone in this hobby & it's supposed to be fun. ;)

PS. It's all a matter of preference. Some of my best friends go spotting at Heathrow & Gatwick.



GA spotting for the win. :)

Well...just got back and I can safely say that Brize is certainly a great experience.....can't think of anywhere else where you get DC10s, VC10s, Tristars, C17s and Herks flying a few feet above you :D

Yep.....though the VC10 was a close call.....20 mins till the bus left, 15 minute walk to the bus stop, and the red lights start flashing :D
