iFly President And CEO Andrew DeMond

There's a new program shaping up in Southern California, that looks to transform the personal aircraft access paradigm. It's called iFly -- a new company that offers member pilots managed access to a fleet of high performance Columbia 350s for about half the cost of traditional sole ownership and without any of the responsibilities that can complicate a pilot's relationship with his airplane.

Today, ANN's Jim Campbell talks with Andrew DeMond, President and CEO of iFly... fractional ownership with a new twist.

This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing -- available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:

Mary Peters gets the nod for Secretary of Transportation...

The latest on last weekend's crash of a Brazilian 737...

And if your plane has a Lycoming engine... there's another AD to worry about.

...And more.

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate products.

• 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... and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
• ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the day's news. We 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: Our daily 'Aero-News Special Report' 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.

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.
