I question the wisdom of airing this sort of thing to the general public.

Most think light aircraft drivers are people with expensive toys, often causing noise and making a nuisance of themselves.

And if Mr & Mrs Public watched the Top Gun series on SBS, they probably now think that all the folk at places like WLM are highly trained professionals doing a serious community service to the country including potentially putting their lives on the line for us, so if a lighty including Dick Smith gets held up or diverted - so what? Whose activity provides the greater community service?
