    Those that call the hobby stupid are the same that would act stupid at Maho, trying to touch the landing gear of a 747. Those aren't aviation enthusiasts, they're just drunk idiots that brag about their "achievement" upon returning home, but that would still say "yeah but watching planes is still stupid". I'm with Manny, wanna judge what I do? Tell me what YOU're doing, then go f... y.......

    Same here. As a teacher, I got strange looks from colleagues. They spent weekends going to movies, broadway shows, spending time with their family, going to sporting events, etc. I could have lied but I told them I had fun at the airport watching planes. I know they laughed at me behind my back. They often said why don't you fly somewhere; they don't get it! Last week on the local news. they showed a girl who saw the show "Spiderman" over 400 times; in fact a seat is reserved for her. She knows the script by heart and she is considered normal?
