While the emergency is in progress some moron in a maule starts an argument wit hthe controllers about being vectored away from the emergency.

Real class act.

Yeah, sure it wasn't.

anyone know what company he is with?

Yep, sure do. It was Florida Seaplanes, a seaplane flight school and Maule dealer in Orlando http://www.geocities.com/flseaplanes/

The pilot in question was Rich Hensh. His e-mail is [email protected]

I would encourage people to e-mail him to share your opinions of his attitude and behavior. If you expect him to be repentant, you'll probably be disapointed, but it's still worth letting him know what the aviation community thinks of him.

Yeah, he's a frequent "contributor" on the SPA site. He really thinks he's pretty cool. I don't see any evidence that anyone else agrees.
