I recently posted a strong objection to a photographer pushing crash
videos on the newsgroups. I've pasted in below word for word the exact quoted text of a post below addressed to me personally. Aside from the personal comment the photographer makes to me, which is fine, and fully within his right to do so in defense of his position, please note his GENERAL FEELINGS about race pilots and airshow pilots, and after reading his general comment about pilots like myself, ask yourself if this person is, as he has said, involved in his hobby of crash photography simply because he "loves" aviation? Ask yourself about his frame of thinking as he's watching pilots like myself do a demonstration. Then ask yourself how he feels about me as he's taking that video! Thank you for your time, From Iwan Bogels to me below; I don't have to put up with the opinion of some hypocrite pilot who is involved in demonstration flights and air races, intended to push flying to the limit. If it wasn't for guys like you, about 50% of all crash videos would have never been shot because the crashes simply didn't occur. Flying is relatively safe, but pushing flight to the limit for the fun of it just isn't. Don't complain if something goes wrong when guys like you are willingly taking more risk than necessary during air races and demonstration flights. And stop pointing fingers at people who are interested to see thrilling aviation just because it simply exites them. Pilots like you provided it to them in the first place! |
