I suspect Ned was referring to the media coverage/angles/spin from the publicity machine more than anything else.
Certainly it has been my observation that the Hunter Valley operation has, at least in recent years, had far superior CRM, procedures, experience and training than LifeFlight and its aviation supplier Airwork.
The BK incident in the Tararua Ranges was an accident waiting to happen.
Back to Ned's point! Both were written up as "pilot was a hero" story.
