What has happened to Ch12's chopper? No mention of it has been made on air, and Officer Tony has been doing his reports from the studio. Ditto Bill Diaz in the afternoon.
Lynn here: I'd been working on this but flat-out ran out of time; I've got a lot of chainsaws in the air at present. I got a tip Monday that Hillsboro Aviation's copters (including Air 12) had been grounded by the FAA, but the FAA says not so; their Seattle PIO said Hillsboro was "under surveillance," but not even under investigation let alone grounded. And that's where I had to leave it in favor of the rest of my life.
Air 12 is now KPTV's helicopter only; KOIN has ended its sharing agreement and is officially out of the chopper biz. Photogs will be going up in charters only on very special occasions indeed. Or so I hear.
