Actually, they didn’t fail because of the power of the motors. They failed because of the motors catoing.
I don’t think you could have made a more vacuous show about HPR if paid a million bucks.
The producer should be hunted down and forced to watch it 20 times in succession.
What a hollow portrayal. Thud; I’d rather watch the World Cup.
Television, especially Reality tv, isn’t for factual dissemination of information – it’s for entertainment. I didn’t watch; preaching to the choir doesn’t do much for me and publicity, good or bad, is still publicity. Like sheep to the slaughter, the general public is basically clueless and until they “find out for themselves” what the hobby can be all about, they’ll go with the flow of the biased media feed and suck up the informed opinions of others because most can’t think for themselves. pardon the rant – think outside the box and kill your tv.

Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
