A Guide To All Kinds Of 2011 AIRBORNE Goodness!!
Well... after several months of planning, practicing and
preparation, the first generation of a new programming effort from
Aero-TV hit cyberspace some time ago. In November 2011, ANN
released Airborne 11.18.11 -- with the mission to offer this as a
weekly news feature through the end of 2011 and then ramp things up
in a BIG WAY as 2012 get underway.
And let me tell you... we have some amazing things in store for
Airborne... in a number of ways... not just in raising the bar for
the programing itself but the way in which this programming is
distributed, supported and the synergies we are in the process of
developing with the rest of the aviation world. Believe you me, we
have some serious surprises in store for you in months to come. To
repeat our earlier warning -- like all things ANN, you ain't seen
nothing yet. AIRBORNE is presented by Aero-TV veteran videographer
and Host Ashley Hale, and supported by ANN CEO/Editor-In-Chief Jim
Campbell, Chief Videographer Nathan Cremisino, and Aero-Journalists
Tom Patton and Paul Plack.
If you've missed previous episodes of AIRBORNE, here is the
