A pilot writes about what went down at the Weather Channel

I was pretty disappointed in the hang gliding special. It was only
about Jonny, no other pilots or what really happened at the WRE. Then the
typical sensationalism at the end when Jonny supposedly ran into turbulence that
made him land and prevented the new World Record, something about being tossed
like a leaf in a tornado and him playing the part, the scariest moment of his
life.

Then some pictures of newspaper articles about the fatality at Andy Jackson
Flight Park, where the reporter had taken a tandem flight earlier in the program
and the implication that hang gliding is very dangerous and Jonny was in real
peril during his last record attempt. Of course, it didn't happen. He was slow
and ran out of conditions and intentionally came down.

Another thing that bothered me was their continually referring to Jonny as the
best hang gliding pilot in the world and his play acting and posing over and
over. Oh well, we knew going in that he was the focus with the Red Bull
partnership, but I was still surprised. No footage showing anyone else, no
mention that Ben Herring flew twice as many miles as Jonny after arriving later
and leaving earlier, no mention of Ben's new record.
