May 26, 201412 yr Commercial Member Anyone know what this is all about? Not very professional Rob Prest
May 26, 201412 yr Not very professional Lol! Im pretty sure professionalism doesn't matter outside of flying the plane. They're corporate folks, they won't get sacked for it. Either a simple joke, or he had a bad experience on the island. David Zambrano, CFII, CPL, IGI I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
May 26, 201412 yr Not professional and very rude. The guy filming is an airplane lover, what's the pilot's problem?
May 26, 201412 yr Just because they're pilots doesn't mean that they're not knuckleheads. I deal with them every day.
May 26, 201412 yr Either that, OR because the camera is pointing in only one direction....how about....maybe, just maybe a rude gesture, or the finger was given back to Him.....You can see both looking over. Not one of them looked happy at the camera. Just saying. Usually two sides to a story. Also, who knows what was going on behind the camera man. William Sequeira
May 26, 201412 yr Happens out here on the railroad too. Many times though, it's someone on the ground or in a vehicle stopped at a road crossing flipping us off. I like to open the locomotive window smile and give them a wave back. Nothing like countering a little negativity! Chris Sunseri
May 26, 201412 yr Commercial Member http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=N676AH That aircraft belongs to the Bank of America, maybe that explains it. I would hate my job too if I had to fly some greedy soulless banksters all around the world, though that really doesn't explain one would give a finger to an innocent spotter. Or maybe Bank of America's pilots represent their general values. Their website sure seems to be full of disgusting emotional propaganda right now. Though admittedly I don't know whether the aircraft is actually operated by Bank of America or just owned by it. how about....maybe, just maybe a rude gesture, or the finger was given back to Him..... I doubt that, I can't see why this guy would do that to a random aircraft.
May 26, 201412 yr Probably just a joke, or maybe he realized he was gonna end up on YouTube and saw the opportunity to anger some aviation nerds. If some random guy pointed a video camera at me at work I'd want to flip him off as well. Rolf Lindbom
May 26, 201412 yr Author Commercial Member He seems to be giving the finger to a bunch of people. I know the aircraft is moving but he doesn't seem to be fixated just on the camera man. Just seemed kinda strange My first thought was that he's pi$$ed of with all the people that stand right up against the fence looking for a face full of exhaust fumes Rob Prest
May 26, 201412 yr Extremely unprofessional. This reminds me of the people that start screaming matches over the CTAF because some one cut some one off. PPL-ASEL
May 26, 201412 yr Ci vediamo al'una is the real meaning. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
