Weekend Randoms

[Willit Run]

Well I had a scary one today.  Was in the local shopping center snapping away.  I notice a Police Officer in the parking lot.  Snap a few more and noticed there were now two.  Snap a few more and noticed there were now three.  Then I see them all moving.  I start taking some more shots and here a car pull up behind me.  Well they had me surrounded. One in back, one in front and one with the front of his car pointed at me.  All I could think was Holy Sh*t!!!  Here they thought I was casing the two banks I was parked near and taken pictures of them.  I told them what I was doing and they could not grasp what spotting was and why you would do it.
Then one of the Cops said " Oh, you mean like bird watching?:  I said yes but, with bigger and faster birds.  Well they walk away shaken their heads and I left.  
They did ask for my licence and reminded me of 9/11 and that the country is on alert.  Now I'am waiting to see the black cars parked on my street!!!

I think the Regional in the background of the second picture is the one in my last shot.

  Enjoy!!

One can only wonder how these pictures pose a threat to national security...
Anyway, nice set once again.

Why do people see planespotting as something a bit questionable? If you don't trespass or don't park where you shouldn't you just don't do any harm, now do you...

Nice shots Willit! Great Delta bird!

When I went to Newark to planespot at the Ikea parking lot, I was there for about 20 minutes when the mall security guard told me to leave. Actually, to be fair he said I couldn't take photos, but I could watch. Wheres the fun in that?

Thanks Guys!!

 Granted they were only doing their job and they thought it was the two banks I was taking shots of but, they still treated me like I was doing something wrong.  I guess it take a certain type of person to understand the joy we get from any kind of aviation and those that don't really care about what flies over them just think it's strange!
