It was a beautiful day today for flying, cold clear and crisp, no wind ,lovely sun over clear skies.
So why nervous, after all I have hundreds of hours clocked up on my Mavic and P4.
I always try to stay away from people, but I thought today I will get affronted by Mr angry, who will accost me and say these things should be banned etc.
I rehearsed my possible responses, from a downright rude response telling the accoster to make love elsewhere, to just ignoring them. Fortunately there was no problem.
I do fly very carefully, in a relatively unpopulated coastline area, but the Gatwick affair makes me feel like a criminal, I fear the worst for our hobby, we are an easy target for a government struggling for populist support, and appalling media such as the Daily Mail, who accused 2 innocent people, saying "Are these the Morons", with a front page spread of their lives.
Feeling sad for the future.
