Traffic Watch LA Area

Hi All,

I'm writing this for a friend. They have really Low time...about 500TT, Comm/Inst/Multi. There used to be a place out of WJF that managed the traffic watch out of VNY, WHP, and RAL back in the day. Are they still around? Any others? I'm sure i'm dating myself....my info is at least 10 years old

Thanks everyone

Exodus Air Service was the outfit at WJF your speaking of. Don't know if they are still around. I flew Traffic Watch for another company, back in the day, and they no longer do it.

From what I gather, Exodus Air was sold and I'm not sure the contracts are still intact. Believe it or not, when I flew there in 2003, we covered more than just traffic. I personally covered some forest fires from 10500ft with a reporter as well as car chases and crashes. If it paid more I would still be doing it. One of the best flying jobs out there.
