The best part of the CNN article? This...


Derner said he met his girlfirend, his "Babe-raham Lincoln" if you will, a year and a half ago when she responded to his tweets about plane spotting. Oh yeah, and she's a pilot.
:wink:

Very nice article......the more folks are made aware the better. Also, in numbers there is strength......so spotting in groups is ideal in some cases.

3 shots from Maho and not a single HoBe departure

biased reporting I tells ya:cool:


so from now on can we give this article out to people(including Elizabeth PD) who say 'what are you doing'- since obviously now we're legit with the CNN stamp of approval

Wear a skimpy bikini the next time you are at HoBe, and maybe that will make the papers! Just warn the rest of us first... :smile:

Yeah, that should work like a charm... :rolleyes:

Congrats, guys. This is awesome.

"Some people like cars," said Derner. "But we like something that's bigger and faster, and it freaking flies."


Hysterical, but so true.

And for a change, I feel like such the hipster at having found this site a few weeks before the CNN article.
Oh wait, I hate hipsters. Damn.

New, shorter headline on the front page of CNN.com

"Plane spotters' scary yet exciting thrills"

Thanks guys. I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out. Was a good month in the media for NYCA.

It's slowly creeping up the CNN homepage, with an ever evolving title:
