Wow... what a wild week! The aviation world got more than it
fair share of news this week -- good and bad -- as the Obama
Administration set its course on User Fees but also finally an FAA
reauthorization Bill... while the Helicopter industry gathered in
Dallas and sold HUNDREDS of helicopters in one of the better
gatherings we can recall.
Boeing finalized a monstrously big order, LightSquared finally
got its comeuppance and ANN shows that there are still some
affordable and solid values in the LSA market. All that... and SO
MUCH MORE in the latest episode of AIRBORNE!
PLEASE keep sending us your feedback and ideas... you have no
idea how important that is to us as we evolve the Airborne mission.
As we listen to your critiques, we're getting a far better idea as
to how to tweak and fine-tune future Airborne programming to fit
your needs. We think you're going to like what we have in mind for
the future.
