Detour Dan Beach started providing traffic reports for KTAR News by plane in 1989 before technology made it possible for him to monitor Phoenix-area roadways from the studio or his home.

In addition to traffic, he covered wildfires, storms and other newsworthy events from his perch in the sky. He remembers the 30 minutes of live coverage for Barry Goldwater’s funeral procession in 1998 as the most powerful moment of his career.
