While on the subject... does anyone like the youtubed pilots' meetings
being done for 18m?


For some reason, this just doesn't grab me. *I'd much rather read
mediocre color commentary for two minutes than watch a pilots' meeting
for 20. *Also, I fear a damping effect on the meetings. *Feels too
much like surveillance.


For the video inclined, I recommend getting some scenes around the
airport, finishes, maybe a daily interview with a pilot or crew.

The meeting videos are kinda hopeless. *There might be one or two
nuggets interspersed with 20 minutes of nothin'. * Face it, we're not
all that interesting.

After the first one, didn't even look again. *Much prefer the type of
short report indicated by YO.


I enjoy all of the coverage. The morning meeting videos are very
informative... hearing "how I got started" stories, safety talks,
meeting the pilots, winners strategy talks, etc. I've been flying
gliders for 31 years but have never been to a contest or have seen a
pilots meeting. I just wish I could fly a contest!
