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!
