TOW PLANE Accident
I am always concerned when I see a camera in the cockpit. The temptation to
be film director as well as pilot is too great. We are only able to apply
full focus to one task at a time. Especially important at critical points
of the flight like the tow, thermalling, circuit, and landing.
At Booker we had a bad accident when a passenger's camera was dropped in
the works. I will not fly passengers holding cameras.
If this accident is as we suspect, then this was totally avoidable and
there would be one more tuggie about.
