And Now... ANN's Annual April 1st 'Special Edition!'

Twice The 'Propwash!' No Fooling!

To our loyal readers -- Due to this year's April Fools Day falling on a Wednesday (what we in the business call a "real" news day) ANN opted to split our daily Propwash newsletter into two segments.

Here is the first of two Propwash newsletters we will send today -- our annual lapse into the odd, the unusual, and the funny (we hope) in honor of April Fool's Day in the United States. We split up the newsletter today in order to differentiate the "real" stories from the "Fools" tall tales.

The second Propwash newsletter -- encapsulating the day's "real" news from the aviation world -- will be sent out Wednesday afternoon, to allow time for developing stories to occur. The normal Propwash schedule will return on Friday, April 3.

And now... what you've been waiting for: this year's ANN April 1st Special Edition! It's an Aero-News original... one that rival publications dare not attempt to emulate (or have the good sense not to try.) This year's April 1st Edition is brought to you by Jim Campbell, Rob Finfrock, Sarah Curtiss, Paul Plack, Gina Doughty, a number of industry contributors who would prefer to remain anonymous (and employed), loyal ANN readers... even Rob's dad John Finfrock got in on the game, for his second year in a row (thanks for the "Cessna/GM" and "Execupod" ideas, Dad!)

As always, thanks for reading ANN!
