Re: Aerial Photography [ ONote at end of post. ]

I did google it, If he was a skilled pilot why was he breaking the law I pulled
up the NTSB Report. A link to it is below.

His medical certificate was expired
His Flight review was expired
He was taking Valium
Flying 200 ft Above Ground Level is not safe. (FAA limit is 1500)

[ ONote: Like I said, keep plenty of air under your wings. The other stuff is
beyond obvious. He WAS skilled, but at the very least we can say he was
distracted, and at 200 feet there is no room for error. The medications were
almost at zero, and the expired license takes nothing away from his skill. I was
just trying to point out the dangers of flying and shooting. No offense.
