A letter I sent to the Wings Channel

Good Letter, my complaint on DW channel, and alot of airshows, hobby shops,
etc..etc..is simple...

Why the obsession with Military stuff? To me it is boring.....stuff I
don't relate to, and not about flying, military planes are for
fighting......the official name of the F-15 on the data plate on the
aircraft and in McD drawings is 'Weapons Platform'....not aircraft...

Give me GA and Transport in equal time with the military stuff....

This is the text of a letter I sent to the Programming Department at
the Wings Channel. If you have a comment, please be sure to send a
copy to me in case I miss it on the news group. Thanks.

AJ Harris


The letter:

I appreciate what you are trying to do with the Wings Channel.
However, the programming is becoming repetitive and boring. There's
only so much one wants to hear about the Luftwaffe and Alexei Tupolev.

Personally, I would love to see more about the history of the Powder
Puff Derby, Florence "Pancho" Barnes, the use of Soviet women pilots
during their "Great Patriotic War," the Female pilots of the 46th
Taman' Guards Bomber Regiment, etc.

This should provide enough material for several shows. I hope that
you will consider this and allow the Wings channel to live up to its
promise.

Thank you.

Sincerely, AJ Harris

I agree with this. Am I the only person who would like to see them do
more shows on types of aircraft you don't often see, like commuter
turboprops, charters, etc.
