Dont know why i have to keep saying this, but when a critical aerodynamic component is not attached anymore or otherwise fully fucked, giving up and not giving up result in the same outcome.
The point is, its not relevant if they panicked or not.
We need a slur for people who don’t know anything about aviation but want to pretend they do.
Preferably something we can stick the Hebrew plural “-im” suffix onto
On Saturday , I took my son plane spotting at HNL. He wanted photos of a unique Australian firefighting aircraft parked at Signature Aviation.
We were in a public parking spot, and my son was taking pictures through the fence.
As we started driving away, a Signature employee waved us down.
Employee: “Why are you taking pictures of that airplane?”
Me: “Because it’s a pretty unique aircraft.”
Employee: “You’re not allowed to take pictures of Signature property.”
Me: “You do realize we’re on public property, right? And we can legally photograph what’s visible from public property?”
Employee: “NO! You’re not allowed!”
Me: “Sorry, but you’re misinformed.”
Then came the best part.
Me: “Would you like a picture of my license plate for your records?”
Employee: “I already took pictures of your vehicle and license plate.”
Me: “Cool! Well, I’ll be back another day to take more pictures. Have a nice day!”
Imagine being so concerned about a kid taking airplane pictures that you photograph their vehicle and license plate.
It’s called plane spotting, not espionage. 😂
