Tegna Grounds Chopper in Dallas
/It appears that WFAA is landing their news helicopter for good.
"HD Chopper 8" is being sold and WFAA is going to start ime-sharing a Robinson R66 flying machine with KDFW and KTVT.
Robinsons are the Walmart of choppers.
WFAA president and general manager Mike Devlin has a standing “no comment” policy with Ed Bark, who broke the news.
Tegna made the choice to ground HD Chopper 8, ending the station’s long run as the only D-FW TV news station with its own, independently owned helicopter.
