Default helicopter collision phoenix - risks in aviation...

It is FAR past time for the media to stop covering these chases by
chasing and filming them in their helicopters. The public can do without
it. It does no good to stop the criminal behavior.

As a matter of fact, there is good evidence that some of the chases
happen, so the runner will have a chance to get on TV.

Don't get me wrong. I feel for the people and friends of those that
crashed.

This is one circus we can do without. There is no benefit, only risk;
needless risk - it was bound to happen sooner or later. Media and police
need to make an agreement that they will not film these chases anymore.

So I suppose you could say the same thing about the P-51 accident at OSH.
Why did they do a formation landing? Any number of things could happen
that could lead to a similar accident. The formation landing was only for
expediency, showmanship, and entertainment value.



The very reason people go to OSH.
