OK kids... this is your
last chance to weigh in on all that was 2004. Among the most avidly
read special issues of our year are ANN's Year-End Wrap-Up and New
Year's Expectations and Prognostications.
Each year we wrap up the 'year that was' on December 31st... in
terms of the top stories, people and issues that made the year so
memorable and remarkable.
We cover a lot of
ground in those issues, we name the Top Ten News Stories of the
year, The Top Ten Newsmakers, we say goodbye to the folks that left
us over the year, we talk about stories that fizzled or surprised,
we have a little fun with some of the weirder items of the year and
we name the best airplanes(s) of the year.
The very next day (New Year's day) we look ahead... at the
problems we expect, the stories that may become prominent, the
products that are emerging, and all manner of topics that we think
will have an impact on the year ahead... and 2005 promises to be a
doozy.
YOUR Input
Matters!
We'd like your input as we put these issues together. What
stories had the most impact on you? What people had greatest effect
on aviation (good and bad)? What were the weirdest stories of the
year? What are you looking forward to? What do you dread from the
coming year? What do you think is going to the top story of the
coming year? We'd like your insight, your comments, your concerns
and your suggestions. This is a pretty intensive undertaking... one
that we're very proud of... but one that really needs YOUR input.
So... think hard, consider carefully, and let us know what you
think. 2004 was an amazing year -- and 2005 looks to be as much (or
more) of the same. What do YOU think?
