As 2016 Winds Down, ANN Is Looking For Your Favorite Stories Over The Year!
This past year is not likely to go down as one of our favorites... though it had a lot of exciting aspects to it that are worth noting for the future.
In hundreds of episodes, Airborne featured the most noteworthy and newsworthy stories in aviation and aerospace, good and bad, hopeful and depressing... ranging from the exciting launch of great new airplanes, and some deplorably atrocious scandals, to the rise of a number of aviation companies/persons and the loss of the some of the most beloved.
ANN, instead of just telling you what we believe to be the most important, wants to hear from YOU. This is YOUR industry... and its up to us to LISTEN to what YOU what you think made the most impact in 2016, Good AND Bad... so that we may properly prioritize the highs and lows of the year in order to provide context and lessons for the next.
And better yet, it will serve as a continuing lesson to the editorial team at ANN and Airborne about what YOU want to see and read in the future. As Airborne is about to embark on a massive expansion program (the recent announcement about the upcoming AMA Drone Report is only the tip of the iceberg... really) and take on the greatest challenges in the history of this organization, these lessons will be pivotal to making sure we serve you the best way we know how.
SO... let us know what you think... either via the comments on our YouTube channel and the video embedded above or directly, with email to ANN's Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell at jim@aero-news.net
