Pete,

I can't disagree, though I thought it wasn't as bad as most of the usual TV
stuff. As pilots, we tend to be sensitized to inaccurate aviation info.
Considering the average viewer this was directed to, I thought they did a
pretty good job. It did slow down some after the first shots of my Husky . .
.. then they kept interest up by showing little snippets of it interspersed
with the rest of the show (g).

It will also be on the regular Discovery channel too. The trailer for
the documentary shows the crash site and a closeup of Fossett's SSA
card.


Watched it last night, and aside from seeing bumper interviewed and
them showing his husky, it pretty much sucked. To me it seemed to be
the usual over hyped aviation disaster "documentary". Don't get me
wrong, Steve was a good pilot, but I got kinda annoyed when they kept
calling him the "worlds greatest pilot".

Pete
