It's been a most interesting week for the Airborne crew as we assembled the top stories of the week for your perusal and enjoyment.

Your feedback has been greatly appreciated and in listening to your critique, we're getting a far better idea as to how to tweak and fine-tune future Airborne programming to fit you needs.

Already; we've implemented your suggestions for a tighter overall length, without reducing the story count, on this week's Airborne, and I assure you that we have even great things in store for you as Airborne evolves rapidly to serve the aviation world. So... be sure to keep filling us in what you want from ANN, Aero-TV and Airborne!
