We had an incident a few days ago at my home airport with a couple in a Cessna 182 that never showed
up after a local flight. It still hasn't been determined whether the flight ran into difficulty or where they went. The story was on the news last night and as we're watching the TV coverage, my wife says, "hey that's our airplane". Sure enough, the TV story was using a picture of MY airplane. I recognized the picture and knew it was on the Rogue's gallery website. The original story just showed the picture as an example of a typical Cessna 182, and in fact the story reported the tail number of the actual subject aircraft. But then in a later news story last night, the newscaster clearly referred to my picture as THE aircraft involved in this incident. I emailed the TV station and they pulled the picture off their website, but said "you might want to check with the Phoenix police department. They issued a missing persons bulletin with this picture on it." Great, now my airplane is a fugitive from justice! So, I called the police dept, and the detective got back to me right away and said they had just done a search for a 182 similar to the description, but should have obscured the tail number before publishing it. Well, they immediately updated their bulletin to obscure the tail number, but as he told me, "there could be some of these posters already printed." Great - maybe I won't go to Sedona tomorrow! I can just see some Barney Fife-type impounding my airplane, "We got a bulletin says the Phoenix PD is looking for this airplane". http://www.phoenix.gov/police/missin...r_westover.pdf http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery_a-h.htm It is a good picture if I do say so myself - good Arizona scenery, perfect for television! Jay, do you have any copyright disclaimers on the website? Mike |
