FA18,
I'm not sure where you're coming from:
You feeling guilty for some reason Howabout?
My questions always have been generic. And, no, I am not feeling guilty.
The whole point (spare me, do I have to do this again?), is there are real aviation stories out there that no one will touch.
This has absolutely nothing to do with individuals. What it does have to do with is the aviation journalists' 'coterie' that won't investigate and ask the hard questions.
So; to the original question, why?
