To: Fundamentally Fair

Being someone trained in the field of aviation, I must bring up - as I usually do when I see a news report concerning aviation - that these newsies don’t know Jack Squat about aviation. The more I read the news, the more I think the same about every other subject concerning the news media.

My favorite part of the story is when they grabbed the experienced fighter pilot out of the Fenway crowd and asked for her expert opinion on the maneuver.

Did the pilot act inappropriately in executing that maneuver below 5000 ft? According to his commanding officer, he did. That’s the only opinion that matters in his case.

As Bobby Knight said, most of us learn to read and write in elementary school and move on. Journalists, apparently not.
