My mate has to be the unluckiest spotter in the world. For a start anywhere he goes the weather is usually awful. He saw my Madrid pics and told me he was booking a flight in the summer (2010) to take photos of the Aerolineas Argentinas 747-400 and the Cubana IL-96.
He phoned me from the mound and asked me to check when the Cubana was due out – I told him it was delayed 15 mins. Then it was delayed again and again and again. An hour later he phoned me for latest update then I heard him scream “oh no” – he’d just seen it being towed away – it had gone tech !
He left the mound in disgust and got a taxi to the 33L approach for the Aerolineas. 5 mins after he got there they changed runways so they were departing way over his head !
He gave up spotting after that and now takes pictures of buildings instead 😮
