Didn't We Just Do This LAST Year?
It's that time again... when the Aero-News staff takes a look
back at all that happened in the Aero-World over the past 364
days.
We're talking about everything from the successful
return of NASA's Stardust capsule -- which kicked off the most
exuberant year the space agency has seen in a decade -- to the
final tally in the erstwhile order battle between Boeing and
Airbus.
We'll look at what the year brought for Commercial Aviation...
and how airlines are gearing up for a massive fight to convince the
FAA that user fees against General Aviation (specifically, the
Business Aviation community) are the Final Answer for the agency's
funding problems.
As is tradition, Aero-News will also pay our respects to those
who have 'Gone West' this year.
What did the year bring for Military Aviation? And, perhaps most
imporant to the majority of our readership... what happened in the
world of General Aviation in the past year, and what do these
events portend for 2007?
Aero-News will spend the next
several days reviewing the events of 2006. We'll hear thoughts
from others -- from "letter group" leaders, to ANN readers -- on
what the year meant to their respective segments of the
aviation community.
We'll then turn our eyes and ears to what the future may
hold for 2007... and invite others to do the same, and tell us
their thoughts on the year ahead.
Stay tuned for ANN's extensive look back on 2006... and our best
prognostications on 2007. And above all... Happy New Year!
