All WN pilots need to be issued spotters guides

[80for80]

According to this Airliners.net poster....



[FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL,]On Friday, two RAF VC-10's arrived for the Red Flag war games at Nellis. As rare as these "birds" are, LAS is fortunate to host them several times per year, thanks to these war games.

The main reason for this post was, while listening to ATC, a WN 737 had been following one of the VC-10's inbound. Upon arrival into LAS, he asked the control tower, "What the heck is that?", referring to the smoke they were inhaling for the past 5 minutes. The control tower promptly replied, "It is a Victor Charlie 10". The WN pilot replied with a simple response of, "Oh"... It is my opinion that all WN pilots should be given a spotters guide to aircraft transports before their next flight.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

By your own admission, a VC-10 is a rare aircraft...but you still turn it into an opportunity to dump on SWA pilots. It is my opinion that you should crawl back under your rock.

Sorry 80for80, upon closer reading, I realize you are just the messenger.

Sneaky one, I guess when you take pictures of aircraft it makes you an expert.

The airliners.net crowd is just pathetic; this is par for the course over there, from the bits I've read. As you said, when all you do is take pictures of airplanes instead of learning to fly them, it frees up a lot of brain cells. And that group needs every spare it can get!

Bwahahaha! What a joke these bunch of guys are. Get a life. Should we carry a bird spotters guide in case we need to identify what hit our airplane too?
