    Well I should think that the lack of a rush to recreate this in the UK is because our journos will realise with a tiny bit of research that unless they were licenced it would be illegal and the regulations are in place to prosecute.

    If you were to get the right bits of paper from the CAA or CASA it would be an interesting service to sell, and perfectly legal.

    Should you happen to be in the USA though its actually a couple of years out. It must be very annoying for all the people waiting in the wings to start. The FAA certainly don't seem to have any teeth though.

    Yes, here we have a Bonanza that circles and directs the bombers.

    They have a FLIR onboard to see through the smoke.

    A recent massive fire at a forestry mill near our town had me imagining how useful my EZStar and cam would be... until a pair of massive CL-215 water bombers overflew us at 200 feet!

    That got me wondering about airspace over an event like that.

    Perhaps the FAA should be watching - given the possibility of congestion over a natuaral disaster site of news helicopters, FEMA / RedCross overflights, local politicians, etc.

    Rupert Murdoch = FOX network = BIG boys (as you say)

     

    This was not just some hobbiest giving his footage to the local news crew.
