Affording The Dream, Part II -- Aircraft Financing
There are many good
reasons for making the decision to buy an aircraft. One reason many
of us put it off, is financing.
AirFleet Capital specializes in financing aircraft purchases,
and ANN's Jim Campbell recently spent a few minutes talking with
the company's President, Steve Smestad, and Vice President Jim
Blessing, about the black magic involved in getting an aircraft
loan. We brought you Part One of that chat
Thursday... and today, you can listen to Part Two.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
More news from Airbus on delays in the A380...
More unhappy flight attendants, this time at US
Airways...
And an unexplained 747 autopilot malfunction...
...And More
ANN Daily Touch N Go:
09.29.06 (ANN's Short-Form Daily News Program)
ANN Daily Aero-Briefing:
09.29.06 (ANN's Long-Form Daily News Program)
ANN Special Feature -- Affording the
Dream, Part II: 09.29.06 (ANN Special Feature,
AirFleet Capital's Steve Smestad and Jim Blessing.)
Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
