I taught journalism for 42 years and the way stories like this one should be written is somewhere in-between. Write the facts then add context by quoting experts and officials and even the odd pilot-in-the-street. That AI-derived summary (4o reference) is useful but should have been asked of the FAA, AOPA or EAA. But this story was written in the middle of the night from a press release so that wasn’t possible. The writer could have waited for morning to add such quotes but probably wanted to be the first to tell us.
The more important question to me is who qualifies to be called mister and who doesn’t? That’s just arrogance.
