PANews, I read PA News regularly and I do not recall seeing anything good about the MD900. Please put me right. I also recall seeing many adverts for McAlpine Helicopters which I believe to be 49% owned by Eurocopter. Please put me right on this as well.
Journo rule #1 "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story". I do not dispute any of the facts of this story but as soon as some journo or politician starts spewing out statistics, I know (as a former student of statistics) that they are only used to support an agenda.
As a journo, does it hurt when you use the words "facts" and "accuracy" in the same paragraph?
BTW, helicopters are often purchased by people who believe what they read / see/ hear in papers / tv / pprune / cereal packets.
Nothing personal my friend, but I don't like journos.
