I have said all along that zoom is biased when it comes reporting the news
especially about those he doesn't like. The latest is his announcing of the
John
Moody Award to Jack McCornack by the USUA. zoom states that:

"The most prestigious of these awards is the Moody Award -- named for John
Moody, who many consider to be the father of American
ultralighting." zoom goes on to say:

"Paying homage to the history and development of
ultralighting, the Moody Award is ultralight aviation's highest
award. The Award is presented annually to an individual, a group of
individuals, or an organization for their efforts over a period of
years. It gives them credit for their efforts and their significant
contributions or advancements in the United States ultralight
aviation community.
Some previous Moody Award Winners are Wayne Ison, Tom Peghiny,
Homer Kolb, Dan Johnson, Ultralight Flying! Magazine, Vincent
Vitollo, Boris Popov, John Ballantyne, Dr. Henry O.
Malone, and Dennis Pagen. "

Notice that one name is missing ..."mine". Hmmmm. Can you say bias??? :-)

I congratulate Jack on his award and it was well deserved.

In addition zoom didn't mention when a Hawk won an award at SnF a couple of
years ago but he listed all the other winners. He didn't mention when I was
one
of the first 3 inductees to the EAA Hall of Fame.Those are just a few of the
most recent examples. But he'll sure write about g conn or a zoom free zone
sign.

I don't care that he doesn't mention me as long as he doesn't mention me
any other time . He has always been vindictive and biased and today is more
proof of it.He has been unfair in his reporting for years and continues
to try and pass himself off as the only honest aviation writer..What a
phoney.

Just remember Chuck, every time Zoom has to do one of these stories he also
must remember that YOU have gotten the recognition that he so desperately wants
and will never get. Just like he couldn't watch that episode on Junk-Yard-Wars
and not think that "HE" should have been called as the "EXPERT". OH, that had
to have hurt bad.

Life has its way of leveling things out.
