Re: [Aus-soaring] Bad Media problem

[Michael Coates]

When the news agency (news.com.au) is running the same story alongside each other calling it a glider in one headline and an Ultralight in the other both on the same page you really have to wonder where they get their information from....... If your not sure about a story then just make it up......

In the same vein to acknowledge the exemplary way Darryl & Terry handled media and accident at Waikerie nationals. For those of us who have been through it in the past; media helicopters circling the crash for 'good vision - film at 11'. This was dealt with by giving all the emergency services the 'calming' information they needed, and getting the airframe into the enclosed trailer within the time before media arrived. 'Nothing to see here folks'. The same message to the inevitable pester follow up media calls for days after 'in the public interest'. -- Emilis Prelgauskas B.ARCH ARAIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring -- With kind regards Michael Coates Company Director - X-Air Australia Phone 0418 168 665 Australia +61 418 168 665 International Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Sites Main Web Site http://www.mcp.com.au Sting Web Site http://www.mcp.com.au/sting X-Air Web Site http://www.xair.com.au XCOM Web Site http://www.xcom760.com Sinus Web Site http://www.mcp.com.au/sinus Sting USA http://www.gosportpilot.com Pipistrel USA http://www.pipistrel-usa.com "Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return."
