Here we go again
Here we go again! Tarring us all with the same old boring brush.
1) I am a journalist (print and radio)
2) I am a qualified Private Pilot
I do my utmost to keep stupid aviation related stories OUT of our news broadcasts/papers etc UNTIL I have had time to confirm the facts behind them rather than picking up on a !!!!! story and trying to make it sound sexy!
I know of at least 12 mainstream journalists (ie national newspapers/radio/tv) who also fly aircraft as a hobby. Please stop generalising whenever some work experience kn*b from a local rag slides into these forums trying to work you all up into a frenzy. It appears to work!!
