ANN Announces The First Of Our 2004 AirVenture Special Coverage Major Sponsors: Cirrus Design

Ok... we've already told you how cool this year's coverage is going to be and how hard we've been working... but we did we mention (enough) just how expensive it is to support nearly a dozen people, cart them halfway across the country, and then make sure that they're fed and watered on a somewhat regular basis? The first of our MAJOR sponsors is one of the best friends ANN has... Cirrus Design. 

"It is the sense of congress that, after proper documentation, justification, and review, the department of transportation should consider programs to reimburse general aviation ground support services at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and airports located within fifteen miles of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, for their financial losses due to Government actions after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001."
