Have you ever met a DAC member??

1:200Freak · 07-05-2008, 09:56 PM

Met yyzjo777 and 24r today

. Wow these guys are serious spotters, scanners, binoculars, high tech cameras and part of a local aviation watch group....me I just had my backpack

... Was a bit of a disappointment as all arrivals were on Rwy 24R while we were at Rwy 23

. And then later all the departures were from 24R as well. At least we got to see the CX 77W land on Rwy 23 and chatted with someone who had his wife on board!! Was great to meet fellow DAC members and talk about things we love....Aviation!

Great to meet you two yyzjo777 and 24r!!! Hopefully I didn't turn out to be too "Freaky"

If you have met someone yourself, feel free to share your experience....

And then there was the guy that wanted to know what time the Concorde was landing!!!

Cheap drugs - he must be from Brampton!

I personally have yet to meet a DAC member, but Dylan and I keep passing up each other at Flight Level 390! One of these times we'll meet up. Oh, and I am looking forward to meeting C-Rex next time I visit the Philippines!
For all of you other DAC'rs..I am right here in the San Diego area, living near KSAN and working at KCRQ, so drop me a line next time you are in town!

You are correct, but the Philippines is his native country. We had talked about meeting there sometime.
