I honestly thing this accident forum detracts from the Private Flying forum. I'd really like to hear other opinions on this but I liked discussing GA accidents / incidents within the GA forum.
I totally agree.
There is a place for a generic 'accidents and Close Calls' forum but GA accidents that happen are definitely part of the Private Flying forum as they happen.
Rename the 'Accidents and Close calls' to reflect that it is a general discussion about 'events' rather than a forum to announce any breaking news and subsequent discussions about an ongoing event.
Return to allowing Breaking news and subsequent discussions back in the Private Flying forum please.
