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.

Ya know what? I took the time to watch a couple more last night. I
can see where there's some interesting stuff in there. Happened upon
Ken Sorenson describing his encounter with the Parachuting Karate Guy,
which was more than a little amusing. So, I guess there IS a place
for this. But, there's no substitute for a pithy, insider writeup on
the day's flying for those of us who wish we were there.

Sorry for the hasty comments earlier.
