Not what I said and not what I think. I think that we can preserve the spot with a positive outcome if we behave properly. HOPEFULLY, if we do nothing wrong, we won't get kicked out by the property owners. However, if they ask us to leave, I know we don't have a RIGHT to be there, and would leave without protest.Originally Posted by NIKV69
No, I am saying that I have no problem shooting there, being a patron of the stores and behaving properly in hopes that they will let us stay. We've been lucky thus far.Originally Posted by NIKV69
Did you read my post? I specifically said it was private property. We all know it's private proeprty, and we know that we've been enjoying a PRIVILEDGE of being there. No one, including myself, implied otherwise.What "episode"? We were stopped like we usually are, and with the exception of maybe slight attitude from one officer, everything turned out well. I hope for more encouters like that!Originally Posted by NIKV69
And how do you suggest limiting the size of the groups?
Nothing could be more false. When I first got into the hobby, air India cargo was barely a "suicide spot", because people would have Port Police surrounding them with multiple cars within minutes. Nearly every time with rare exception. Only over the past few years did it start to become a little more accommodating, but it was still a sensitive location.Originally Posted by NIKV69
I personally do not blame Matt and Gordon, because I just think that something that like that bound to happen. This is because, like I said, this is a much more private lot than a store parking lot is. There's a huge difference there, I think.
How did we push our luck? Just by being out in a sizable group? I still don't understand what you're accusing the spotters of doing wrong at Firestone.Originally Posted by NIKV69
Although, I heard that there was one spotter at Firestone who asked "What are you folks doing?" who responded with "Taking pictures of airplanes. You have a problem?"
That was the first and only misstep of judgement that I know of at Firestone ever. That and Tommy wearing that ugly hat.
