Thanks glenny84 that's my first time being spotted. You win the BOOMER Prize - to be determined at a later date.

That signing was probably from my flight (SAN-IAD) on Friday 12/11.

As the leopard once said: "it's nice to be spotted".

Let me know when I get that prize! You were the first FTer I've seen before, so I was pretty excited. Hopefully someone will spot me as well. I probably signed 30 or 31 of Hemispheres in the last 2 weeks!

I'm the Fter that you saw signing the Hemispheres magazine! I have another self spotting to report. I flew DEN-SFO on Dec. 15th and when I checked the voices page I saw my signing from the ORD-LAX flight I took on Dec. 10th.

JSlo spotted...

My second FT Hemispheres sighting occurred yesterday, Dec 16, LAX-IAD: JSlo was spotted in 1B (on a 319) with the following signature:

JSlo 12/8 PHX-DEN 706

I signed below.

Always thrilling to open up the page and find an FT'er had been there.

Sorry, I just saw this. Yes, I was on the ORD to SNA flight. Actually, I considered not signing the magazine, since it was the last day of the month. I'm glad I did!

This is the third time I've been spotted, but I've never spotted anyone else. Of course. I realize there are lots of folks who've never been spotted even once!


Have a happy holiday season!

Tom,

If you want to save it for posterity I have it sitting on my desk. Since it was the last day of the month I kept the magazine.

Happy holildays to you as well.

Took me 5 years to get spotted. Funny thing was that I had no idea how my hemispheres ended up on an RJ as I haven't been on a UA one for quite some time.

My only spotting on the trip was hermiehug on the SFO GEG segment. It was from UA5974 DEN SJC, 10/9/2009, seat 1D.
Woot! My first spotting after several years of playing!

On a very few occasions, I've brought a Hemispheres with me off of a mainline flight (usually if I'm working on the puzzles still). Later, when done, I've put it in the pocket of the next flight I took... could have been something like that.

I spotted someone over Thanksgiving, but due to lack of internet access I didn't get around to saying anything until I came home... At which point I realized I had forgotten what the name was! Ha! All I know is the name ended with a 70, and had been signed very early in November headed to/from YYZ on an Airbus twin.

So in short, my first post in this thread is useless

With the number of "signings" that you've left out there, your chances should be pretty good. The one of mine that you spotted was only the third of six that I left out there this month.

You're one up on me in the spotting catagory. I haven't come across another FTer's tag yet. Maybe the hunting will be better next year.
