i would love to know how Sky news found out about the nutter so fast ?
Do we have an insider amongst us ? since they did make reference to pprune.

Like most other "news" media - they are constantly scanning YouToob etc for useful (free) stuff to fill the bits between commercials.
Standb for The Battle atKruger hitting primetime screens soon....20m viewers here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM) can't be wrong.
And then there's their deep connection with the helicopter world via Redhill....

or you could just put 2 and 2 together, come up with 5 and blame the first person who mentioned it, but I wouldn't advise it cos you'd be very wrong.
Just like a '350 pilot' who thought it was me!!!! Ccok head!!!

Pprune is frequently quoted/misquoted in news articles, items etc. The Mil section gets the odd journo outing themselves to ask Qs etc. I've no doubt that lazy/smart journos trawl forums looking for stories.
YouTube has rankings lists showing what's hot. Not too hard, really.
If I went for a career change pprune would still be in my favorites. Incidents like this, accidents; the rumours, speculation, etc. Researchers and journalists aren't thick, they'll use what tools are available to get a story. And can you blame them? It's their job!
