Aviation Is Alive And Well In Waco!
Friday's featured Aero-Cast is a great subject. Waco, Texas
exists in the shadow of its much larger neighbors, the sprawling
Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to the north and the booming cities of
Austin and San Antonio to the south. The city of 118,000 also faces
something of a stigma, as it's likely best known to most for two
things: it's proximity to Crawford, TX (25 miles to the west) and
its famous part-time resident... and, alas, a certain cult
standoff, the resolution of which is still fresh in many minds 12
years later.
But Waco is on the move. Offering a more relaxed pace, lower
cost of living and advertising a better quality of life than its
larger neighbors, the city is actively recruiting new industries,
and is especially catering to young professionals looking to escape
the bustle of larger cities.
Interestingly, one of the ways the city is doing that is by
pushing forward with its efforts to build a large commercial
airpark on land adjacent to the Texas State Technical College, and
its nicely-sized towered airfield (CNW) featuring two runways of
8,600-foot and 6,300-foot in length.

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products... the first is a short synopsis of the previous 24 hours
of Aero-News, in brief, spanning only a few minutes (max) and in a
size/format that will allow it to be mailed as part of a Daily
Aero-Cast subscription; a more comprehensive DAILY news product
that will cover the previous 24 hours of news in a somewhat more
detailed fashion, and a feature Aero-Cast that will center on one
of the more important subject or topics of the day in considerable
depth and detail. This is how these products break down...
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events. It only takes
a few minutes of your time and will be available by subscription,
shortly.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We'll give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: ANN will
be offering a Daily 'Aero-News Special Report.' This involves a
more in-depth view of a story or two that dominated (or will be
dominating) the day's news. Far more detailed than any single story
in our standard ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a
close look at the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may
include exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's
Special Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories
that will have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and
aerospace. We're tremendously excited about this particular product
in that it truly adds nuance and background to important breaking
news stories and personalities. While our current news format
allows for extensive reporting and information dissemination, ANN's
ASRs should set the bar even higher. ANN has become a pivotal force
in the world of aviation in the six years that have passed since we
undertook the immense task of becoming the aviation world's DAILY
news and information service... but with the all-new news services
we're offering as part of our Aero-Cast line-up, we expect to
become even more indispensable to the industry we serve.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
