This isn’t helpful. The guy was THREATENED with arrest, but was not actually arrested. I don’t like sensationalizing bad situations. The official who threatened to arrest the pilot was being a jackass, no question, but the pilot was not arrested.
I know of one case, at Bills Creek,where the private halo pilot was chewed-out for landing without filing pre-authorization request. Paperwork!
They proceeded to deliver supplies.
But was the pilot allowed to deliver the supplies to the victims?
