The bad boy of local news choppers (by name anyway) Skyforce finally has its own page on wsvn.com
On it you can track the chopper via GPS and Google maps and watch a live video any time its in the air. The people behind AirFoxLive.com seems to have helped WSVN setting up the page.
I’ve been watching the video feed for several months now and it can be interesting at times beyond the breaking news footage. Sometimes it goes nicely with the live TV broadcast as you get to see more of what’s going on and then get details from TV.
There’s also a slide show of Skyforce plus we finally see the voice behind the camera Ralph Rayburn along with pilot Joe Mancino.
As I started out doing live truck breaking news I met Ralph Rayburn he took me under his wing and tought me the way of the streets and to do the news agressively and get it on the air. He is one of the BEST in the business and there is no one that even gets close. KT & EA also right there on the streets.
Just an interesting fact: The pilot for Local 10 is a woman. It’s really the minority in this industry.
What happened to Richie? I know he’s gay but I didn’t think he was going to have the “operation”
All I know is when i go flying out of North Perry (where 10 is out of), I hear a woman on the radio.
