Aero-Note: On the
eve of the 2010 rendition of the "Friendliest Fly-In" we know, we
thought it paramount to revisit some of the heights of last year's
Arlington Fly-In... with the 'high hopes' that those of you who
were about to pass up this AMAZING Fly-In, might reconsider and
skedaddle yourself to Arlington, WA... which for the next few days
IS the Sport Aviation capital of the world! -- We hope you have as
great a time there as we have had in past years! -- Jim Campbell,
ANN E-I-C
There is a reason that ANN dubbed the annual Arlington Fly-In
the Friendly Fly-In -- no other event produces as positive a vibe
as Arlington and does it with such consummate professionalism...
and yeah, its chock full of aviation goodness, to boot.
ANN sent two of our best folks to Arlington (last) year, to
enjoy and document the sites, sounds, stories and personalities of
Arlington 2009. ANN E-Media producer Paul Plack and Videographer
Nathan Cremisino wore out a lot of shoe leather but came back with
big grins on their faces and a sincere appreciation for a Fly-In
that "is run awfully well."
That opinion appears to have been shared by many... in light of
this year's report in which Arlington, the third-largest fly-in in
the country, saw a 14 percent boost in attendance over last year,
according to the organizers.
“What can I say, it was great - a phenomenal turnout this
year,” said Barb Tolbert, executive director for the fly-in.
“We are still verifying the number of aircraft – at
times the registrations even overloaded our system - but it looks
to be well ahead of last year.”
Come along with ANN's expert Aero-TV crews and enjoy some of the
highlights of the 2009 Arlington Fly-In in this as well as a number
of future Aero-TV Feature programs.
