Ditto.
I would say a summary of chat posted here would suffice,and can see no 
useful purpose in humiliating the Blues.
It could also be detrimental to our hobby, for obvious reasons.
I wouldn't be suprised if the damage is already done,as this will no 
doubt make the local papers there,and the 'offending' pilot will 
probably be reprimanded.
I'm more or less a lurker here,and have noticed your posts,been to your 
site and think your good for the list here and the hobby in general.
I do think you made a judgment error by promoting this,and hope you take 
down all references to this on your site,and keep future 'nuggets' like 
this to yourself.
