TLC Show

[myobsession]

Hi!

I am casting a show for TLC and we are looking for people who have a
passion for aviation. Is there someone with either a large aviation
memorabilia collection in your group? Is there a committed plane
spotter you'd recommend us getting in touch with? I hope to hear back!
Thanks!

Senga would be one of my candidates as far as dedicated spotters... Tom Turner too.

Fred's passion is bordering on unhealthy he needs to get sleep!!

[Derf]

Don't go there guys.... I would not want to see what would happen to the poor souls that try to keep up with me during and airshow..... ahahah

Can you see me running full speed around a Growler with two flashes avoiding hitting my head on the Fuel Drop Tanks, do not hit your head into the antennas.... doge the Camera guy and run out of frame and hit the ground for the first live heart attack on TLC.... ahahah

Lots of us have the Passion.... Few Live the Dream... A few of us have had one hell of a ride. Right Moose?

I do know Fred should be committed! Lol

Some of us have the same passion but unfortunately not the same access to what we love

It doesn't just drop into your lap, you have to work for it.

Very true.

I'd only do this if they'd film me spotting at EWR as a furry, while Elizabeth PD chases me and takes me down from behind. That's exciting television right there.

I wouldnt mind sharing with TLC

My only concern is that this being "My Crazy Obsession", that we'll be cast similar as the Today show did without our knowing or control until it airs. But I'm willing to work with it in the mean time as we learn more!

Ramp is so overrated I can't believe lack of it irks you. In fact I have it at three airports out west but rarely use it unless I really need to. The shots just don't command the hits anymore unless you're at LAX and your name is Sam Chui. Besides renting helicopters is the rage now. Personally there are so many spots outside the fence to be discovered and utilized you would do much better finding them.

It all depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I don't care about hits on photo databases - as I've said before, I haven't uploaded to either of the two big sites in nearly a year. But being able to get up close, see some really neat stuff, and share it here and other places is what I enjoy.

You know what gets me going? I was having dinner this weekend with a couple of friends from a photography group I belong - they don't usually shoot aviation, but were down at FRG for the show. One said to me "After seeing your photos, I don't look at airplanes the same way."

Moose and Derf. It begins and ends with those two.
