Barnstorming: Saving Santa Monica (KSMO)…

and Enhancing The Future of Aviation

As If We Didn’t Have Enough to Do, Another Critical Challenge Demands Our Full Attention

It has been a brutal few weeks… starting with the loss of our dear friend, Bob Hoover (and I will have much more to write about that… but I still need time to come to terms with my own issues about Bob’s passing), a number of tightly scheduled special events, the demanding but short time we had to prep for the Live Web production of Bob’s Memorial and then, the just concluded IITSEC event.

I’m beat… and so are the rest of the ANN team (who performed MAGNIFICENTLY these past few weeks…) but despite the fact that we’ve had little time to recover, we’re about to embark on our biggest projects EVER, efforts that may triple the scope of ANN… and yet, with all that to face, we see a need (more like a demand) to do something powerful and dramatic with an issue that has the potential to either, in part, restore aviation’s battered spirit or cast it further into the doldrums we’ve been facing for years. But… it’s going to take a maximum effort… the kind we’ve undertaken every time we’ve decided to deal with a powerful challenge. So... here we go again.
