AmeriFlight Crash

It's very sad, isn't it? I have worked in the media and communications
business for 30+ years and TV news has gravitated to consultant-driven quick
headlines, "live shots" and talking heads with no life experience much less
journalistic talent. (Whew! End Rant.)

There was an incredible media frenzy in Spokane yesterday morning. At one
point they were waiting for the "ATF" to do the investigating of the crash
site. It was weird because the weather guy on duty yesterday on the TV
station in question is a certificated pilot and should have known the
difference.

Is it just me, or does AmeriFlight seem to lose an awful lot of
airplanes? I
know 1999 was a bad year, but they appear to lose at least one plane
every
year.

I think it's beyond sad. Dangerous to freedom is what
I'd call it.

But that's another rant and off topic here.
