Well... after several months of planning, practicing and
preparation, the first generation of a new programming effort from
Aero-TV has hit cyberspace. Last Friday, ANN released
Airborne 11.18.11 -- with the intention to offer
this as a weekly news feature through the end of 2011 and then ramp
things up in a BIG WAY as 2012 gets underway.
And let me tell you... we have some amazing things in store for
Airborne... in a number of ways... not just in raising the bar for
the programing itself but the way in which this programming is
distributed, supported and the synergies we are in the process of
developing with the rest of the aviation world. Believe you me, we
have some serious surprises in store for you in months to come.
To repeat our earlier warning -- like all things ANN,
you ain't seen nothing yet.
But... in the meantime, we will finish the year as a weekly
series of Aero-News programs and quickly evolve from there. Keep in
mind that this is the FIRST in an evolving series of news offerings
and that we at ANN don't play with the status quo very well -- or
for very long. Let me also express my appreciation to the core
group of ANN staffers who busted their buns getting Airborne ready
for takeoff. Ashley Hale has serious credentials in North Florida
media... both as an on-air talent as well as a crackerjack
videographer and editor... and her skills have been indispensable
to coordinating Airborne.
Chief Videographer, Nathan Cremisino, continues to blow us away
with his ability to get a LOT done with impossible deadlines and do
so with incredible professionalism. E-Media Producer Paul Plack is
a long-time ANN veteran and a guy who has been scripting and
producing thousands of audio programs for us for a number of years
and his skills are invaluable to making Airborne work. And finally,
News-Editor Tom Patton has been beating up the headlines to make
sure that the content and final scripts for Airborne are just as
slick and professional as the rest of the effort. These folks are
amazing... and their efforts are so very appreciated.
OK... until the next episode of Airborne hits the wild, wild web
in the next few days, here's Airborne 11.18.11 --
an episode that is chock full of info about the week or so
preceding this inaugural program... Presented by Aero-TV veteran
videographer and Airborne Host Ashley Hale, this episode
covers:
- Lots of news from the Dubai Air Show...
- Including the purchase of the majority of the Canadian segment
of Diamond Aircraft by a Dubai firm
- and Boeing and Airbus pick up major orders from Middle Eastern
Airlines

- A "Barnstorming" Aero-Minute from Jim Campbell -- about
'Leadership'

'Chairwoman'
- ANN's ‘AVW’ -- our Aero-Video of the Week features

- ANN's Tom Patton profiles what one airport authority is doing
to deal with noise complaints
- The FAA wants to shake us down for fees for using OUR

distribution business... maybe.
All this and more are presented on the first edition of
'Airborne' -- an innovative programming initiative from the
Aero-News Network... the aviation world's most comprehensive news
and information resource!
