The cost of renting a helicopter, with the equipment Mike mentions, would've cost easily 4 times what a hand held would have.
There has been only one new DVD on the 4449 put out since the Freedom Train painted Bend run. This DVD just came out two weeks ago.
No one put out anything on the Montana trip.
Until two weeks ago there wasn't any footage on the market of the 4449/700 double header.
To credit Pentrex, they did send the crew a box of DVD's of the AFT Bend run.
We had only ONE railfan send the crew video footage of the Montana run.
The helicopter on Sat was a TV station, IIRC. I was on the train both days. The TV helicopter I saw on Friday was every bit as close as the others, including the Coast Guard. Maybe you guys should complain to the TV station and the C.G. for ruining your shot? Please, let us know how that works out for you....
