Don't forget to tie your aircraft down..

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Phone rings; 'Hello, are you the owner of this plane? Just landed in our backyard. You might want to come pick it up. Where are you? 300 miles away???!@# ACK!'
 
forget the plane's owner, who's behind the camera?

So let me get this straight: i'm at an airport, with my camera locked - keyword - onto a plane sitting untethered in high wind. That's the first oddity - why am i only fixated with that aircraft, instead of scanning the entire field of view like a typical home video shooter would naturally do in such a situation? Secondly, i've got the time to maintain that camera lock, presumably in anticipation of watching the effects of a strong gust on that particular aircraft. But intstead of doing something to prevent a disaster if conditions worsen, i prefer to just continue recording that sole plane until something "epic" occurs that i can upload to youtube...:mixedsmi:

A deliberate waste of a good airplane or a cleverly doctored video for grins?
