There's much more! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ANN Daily Sponsor: 12.24.12 Edition: Classic Aero-TV: EAA's Night Airshow-Lighting up the Night Sky at AirVenture '11 A Spectacular Way To End Aviation's Big Week There are some things that are very difficult to describe. The night airshow which has capped off the last two years at AirVenture at Oshkosh is one of those things that almost has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Fortunately, Aero-TV was there to capture the airshow on the final day of this year's EAA gathering. So what were some of the reactions we got from people who saw the show? "It's just the coolest thing ever." The show featured performances by the AeroShell T-6 Aerobatic Team, Bob Carlton in his jet sailplane, Gene Soucy flying the Showcat, and Matt Younkin in a Twin Beech lit to rival the brightest Christmas tree, along with Steve Oliver in his Chipmunk. The performers flew through the night sky, some cutting through the darkness with bright lights, others showering sparks and fireworks as they performed their routines. And then came a ground-based fireworks display to rival any July 4th show short of the National Capital mall. Hundreds of shells and mortars lit the sky, turning night into day, all capped by one massive explosion as the bombardiers lit off the kind of pyrotechnics usually reserved for the warbird re-enactments. While impressive during the day, it was even more spectacular at night. If you're planning a visit to AirVenture in 2013, you might want to consider staying through Saturday night, and enjoying the show.

An Aero-Holiday Memory One of the greatest joys I have as the so-called boss of ANN is the many people I meet and the precious few that I get to know as friends. Two of my great friends have had the same name... Frank Kingston Smith, Senior and Junior. Frank Sr. has been gone a number of years now but our memories of him are fond and numerous... though his son is still often a vociferous advisor and co-conspirator via email. Some time ago, Frank, Jr., sent me a really great message... and it made for a fitting way by which I can wish you all a very Merry Christmas -- Jim Campbell, ANN E-I-C From Frank Kingston Smith, Jr. -- My late father, Frank Kingston Smith SENIOR, was an internationally known author and speaker on behalf of private aviation. Frank Kingston Smith SENIOR In 1962 following the publication of his third book, "I'd Rather Be Flying", he began writing a monthly column for FLYING magazine. The December 1962 column, entitled "Red Raider", became one of FLYING readers' five favorite columns of all time. Recently, a pilot friend from Walt Disney Imagineering called me and asked me to read the narrative as a scratch track (a timing track) for an "animatic" he was putting together. (An animatic is the use of stills with motion added to simulate a completed story line. It's a sort of "storyboard.") I was asked to read it "flat" for timing with no emphasis or inflection. So I did. Frank Kingston Smith JUNIOR The link here connects you to the updated animatic created just a couple of months ago, used with permission. Before you play it, it is important that you understand that it was written in 1962 from the point of view of a private pilot; the animatic is produced from the point of view of an airline pilot (creative license.) There are mentions of things which no longer exist, such as a [low frequency] fan marker, a SCATER order (which by the way is supposed to be pronounced SCAY-tur, not "scatter"), and airlines such as Eastern and Pan Am. The ATC conversations were added by the producer. And you may notice that airspeeds and altitudes are somewhat odd for an airliner, plus there are radio frequencies which in some cases do not exist. Woodstown was in fact a VOR rather than a VORTAC in 1962. I put this in here for my pilot friends. So turn up the audio, hit the link, and relax for a little over seven minutes. And Merry Christmas to all....

The FAA says that last month, the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) program exceeded 3,000 Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPVs) approaches published. This is significant because of the safety and capacity benefits of WAAS-enabled approaches. WAAS now provides vertically-guided approach capability at more than 1,500 airports, bringing aircraft to as low as 200 feet above the runway surface. Some airports do not qualify for LPVs because of obstructions or terrain. In those cases, the FAA is providing WAAS Localizer Performance (LP) procedures. WAAS makes it possible for pilots to use GPS from takeoff through the equivalent of a Category I Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) approach. More than 60,000 aircraft are certified to use WAAS, which means they are capable of using Performance Based Navigation (PBN), a key component for the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The use of PBN frees aircraft from the old highways in the sky that are dependent on ground-based beacons, allowing for more direct and fuel-efficient routes. It also provides options for avoiding bad weather or unexpected air traffic congestion. Since becoming operational in 2003, WAAS has made remarkable progress. With the consistent development of LPVs and LPs, WAAS will continue to enhance safety and enable pilots to fly into places that would have been unavailable nine years ago. The WAAS program reached another major milestone this year when the FAA awarded the WAAS Geostationary Earth Orbit GEO Satellite Service Lease contract to Raytheon Company of Fullerton, Calif. Geostationary satellites provide better broadcast coverage throughout the United States. WAAS uses three GEO satellites to broadcast the WAAS signal to users across North America. Three satellites are required to maintain WAAS availability. The current GEO satellite leased services expire between 2015 and 2017. These new WAAS GEO satellites will enable the FAA to sustain the WAAS GEO satellite constellation maintaining high availability of service to users.

The four will be joining the roster of 215 men and women air and space pioneers who have been inducted by the NAHF since its founding in 1962. The names and photos of the incoming Enshrinee Class of 2013 were unveiled December 17 at a dinner hosted by Dayton-based Aviation Trail, Inc. (ATI) in celebration of the 109th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ historic first powered flight, December 17, 1903. Serving as the dinner’s emcee was Marvin Christian, President of ATI, and making the Class of 2013 announcement was NAHF Enshrinement Director, Ron Kaplan. Each year, the NAHF Board of Nominations, a voting body comprised of over 120 aviation professionals nationwide, selects a handful of U.S. air and space pioneers to be recognized for their achievements by enshrinement into the NAHF. The NAHF Class of 2013 is a diverse group representing a broad range of significant contributions to the advancement of flight. The four to be enshrined next year are: 1) The late Charles Alfred Anderson – In 1940, Anderson, who is widely recognized as “the father of African-American aviation,” helped develop a civilian-pilot training program for blacks. His 1941 flight with first lady Eleanor Roosevelt aboard was the catalyst that led to the training of the first African American military pilots, the Tuskegee Airmen, for whom Anderson served as chief instructor. 2) Maj. Gen. Patrick H. Brady, USA (Ret) – His highly decorated 34 year-plus Army career includes developing foul weather and tactical techniques for helicopter air ambulance rescue in combat. Brady flew over 2,500 missions during two Vietnam combat tours and rescued over 5,000 wounded. His numerous service awards include the Medal of Honor and Distinguished Service Cross. 3) Capt. Robert L. “Hoot” Gibson, USN (Ret) – As a Navy fighter pilot, Gibson flew combat in Southeast Asia, graduated from “Top Gun,” and served as a flight test pilot before joining NASA’s astronaut corps in 1978. He flew five Shuttle missions (four as Commander) and participated on the Challenger accident investigation team. Also an aeronautical engineer, record-setting pilot and air racer, Capt. Gibson has logged over 14,000 hours in over 130 types of aircraft. 4) The late Dwane L. Wallace, After 41 years with the Cessna Aircraft Company, Wallace retired in 1975 as its Chairman and CEO. During the Depression, Wallace used money won by air racing to meet payroll. After the company served WWII military aircraft demand, Wallace directed Cessna’s development and growth of extensive corporate and general aviation product lines. He was a founder and first chairman of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. The enshrinement dinner and ceremony will take place on Friday, October 4, 2013 at the National Aviation Hall of Fame Learning Center and the adjacent National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Often referred to as “America’s Oscar Night of Aviation,” the black-tie ceremony is open to the public and reservations are available by advance purchase from the NAHF.

The agreement brings the substantial space capabilities of Dynetics to the Moon Express team for the pursuit of commercial lunar missions, and will leverage and carry forward the substantial work done by RCSP supported by its visionary partners: Dynetics, Teledyne Brown Engineering, Andrews Aerospace, Draper Laboratory, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Von Braun Center for Science & Innovation, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Moog, Huntsville Center for Technology, and Analytical Mechanics Associates. The agreement also allows for the transition of RCSP's team leader, Tim Pickens, to the role of Moon Express' chief propulsion engineer. Pickens is an award-winning rocket pioneer and was the lead propulsion designer for Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne, which won the $10 million Ansari X PRIZE in 2004. In honor of the legacy and incalculable contribution that Huntsville and the State of Alabama have made to the U.S. space program, the Moon Express lander will carry to the surface of the Moon the "Spirit of Alabama " insignia, a historic artifact that will be developed in collaboration with the RCSP partners to be attached to the lander or one of its mobility systems. Both Moon Express and RCSP/Dynetics were selected by NASA in the fall of 2010 for commercial lunar data contracts worth up to $10 million each. Moon Express and RCSP have been recognized as leading contenders for the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE. Both entered the competition in 2010, with RCSP engaging a consortium of highly reputable and experienced partners from the Huntsville area to become one of the most formidable Google Lunar X PRIZE contenders. With the deep technical expertise and contributions of Dynetics and its partners, together with support from the State of Alabama and the notoriety of its team leader, RCSP engaged the hearts and minds of schoolchildren and the public in a substantial STEM outreach program, while advancing its technical plans and developing prototype propulsion systems for its lunar lander. The Teaming Agreement with Dynetics and acquisition of RCSP adds to Moon Express' substantial momentum as a leading contender in the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition. "The players behind the Rocket City Space Pioneers are true visionaries and entrepreneurs," said Naveen Jain (pictured), Moon Express co-founder and chairman. "We look forward to working with Dynetics and its partners in carrying forward the innovation and vision of the Rocket City Space Pioneers." Dr. Marc Bendickson, Dynetics CEO, commented that the teaming with Moon Express is testimony to the hard work and dedication of the RCSP partners . "Dynetics and its partners have made remarkable technical progress with the Rocket City Space Pioneers venture," he remarked. "We are proud to bring our energy and value to the table with Moon Express in a way that continues our dreams of sending the Spirit of Alabama to the Moon."

The airport authority has been working on the plan since 2009, when they hired the consulting firm LPA Group for a feasibility study for the airport, according to Knoxvillebiz.com. The Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET) had at that time asked the authority to consider several DOE sites for a potential airport. CROET is actively involved in the development and eventual sublease of DOE property at the technology park under consideration for the airport. According to the Knoxvillebiz website, the plan is for an airport with a 5,000 foot runway to serve GA traffic up to business jets as well as commuter airliners, but not heavy commercial traffic, serving the business and technology markets in Oak Ridge. After reviewing several possible sites, the board recommended 132 acres near the technology park. The board hopes to have a plan finished next year.

All multi-day APS upset recovery and emergency maneuver training courses, recurrency courses, and many specialty courses are authorized for credits at the Basic, Advanced, and Master levels of the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program. The number, type (Knowledge or Flight) and level of credits authorized varies with each course, depending on content. The FAA’s Advisory Circular AC 61-91J describes the WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program objective as “… [reducing] the number of accidents in General Aviation by assisting airmen to find educational opportunities designed to help them apply the principles of risk assessment and risk management. When properly applied, these principles will help mitigate accident causal factors associated with common pilot errors, lack of proficiency, and faulty knowledge." “Comprehensive upset prevention and recovery training as taught using APS proprietary technologies rapidly develops knowledge and skills to mitigate loss of control in-flight for pilots at all levels of experience.” said Paul BJ Ransbury, President of APS. “Of critical importance in any upset training curriculum is the enhancement of a pilot’s experience with transferrable concepts and strategies that can last in the long term.” The knowledge, experience and skills that APS’s courses provide consistently produce a safer, more aware pilot. A number of aviation insurance providers recognize the effectiveness of the WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program by providing premium discounts for policy holders that complete the various phases of the WINGS program. Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) located at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (Mesa, Arizona), has trained thousands of pilots in fully comprehensive upset recovery skill development, more than any other training organization. APS offers comprehensive loss of control in-flight solutions via industry-leading web-based, on-aircraft, and full-flight simulator upset training programs. APS is the only Part 141 Flight School currently certified in the delivery of complete upset recovery, stall / spin and instrument recovery training courses worldwide.

Before construction on the $120 million project can begin, the EPA must sign off on the company's plan, and local zoning will need to be secured. The plant will turn solid municipal waste into electricity and aviation fuel, the company says. The first phase of construction will encompass a materials recovery facility, which will process recyclables, a gasification plant which will produce fuel for the electrical generators, and a pilot gas-to-liquids plant with a capacity of processing 15 tons of garbage daily. According to a report appearing in Biofuels Digest online, a full-scale gas-to-liquids plant would come online in 2017. When fully operational, the plant is expected to produce as many as 8 million gallons of liquid fuel each year, along with a substantial amount of "green" electricity. The plant is also expected to bring 700 direct, indirect, and induced jobs to the region. Paradigm BioAviation has enlisted the support of Illinois State University as a partner to develop the plant. The school will analyze local feed stocks, as well as study the economic impact and sustainability of the plant, perform quality control testing, and eventually certify the liquid fuels.

The Japan Times online reports that a JAL airliner was unable to land on schedule, and that delay caused an ANA airliner to be late, according to the Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry. There were two controllers assigned to the tower Monday, but one controller in his 60s was reportedly away from his post for about 50 minutes, according to the investigation, while the other controller, described as in his 40s, had inadvertently turned down the audio volume in the tower. Japanese regulations require that there are at least two controllers on duty at all times. The ministry said it was "inappropriate" for the older man to be away from his position for such an extended period of time, particularly at a time of day when air traffic volume is usually high. The ministry has not said what kind of disciplinary action it might take against the controllers.

The members have nominated Lowell Dorn and Cedrick Johnson, both of whom are current members of the commission. But after the tie vote December 18th, the board's attorney said that its bylaws do not provide for the scenario, and that Mayor Deke Copenhaver, who is recognized as an ex-officio member of the panel, is not eligible to vote. The Augusta Chronicle reports that Dorn had been chosen by a special nominating committee, and Johnson had been placed in consideration by commission member Paulett Curry during the meeting. Curry said she had not nominated Johnson earlier because the nominating committee had scheduled a meeting she was unable to attend. Current Commission Chairman Jay Forrester called the development "disappointing," adding that during the nominating process only one person expressed an interest in taking the leadership role. The paper reports that the commission will table the election until after the first of the year, and its current officers will remain in place until new leadership can be elected.

UTair Group helicopter transport operations logged a total of 156,049 flight hours in the first 11 months of 2012, 19.5 percent more than for the same reporting period last year. In the same period, UTair Group helicopters transported 739,815 passengers and delivered 154,288.62 tons of cargo. The growth of operations has come with fleet modernization and expansion of the airline’s portfolio of service operations, for example, the helicopter taxi services launched in the Rostov-On-Don region with AS 355N rotorcraft at the end of November this year. UTair-Engineering has also expanded its MRO operations, receiving licenses this summer from the Robinson Helicopter Company and the Russian aviation authorities to operate as an authorized service center for Robinson helicopters in Russia. UTair-Engineering has already received the first Robinson R44 helicopter for overhaul. With more than 350 domestic and foreign made helicopters in operation, primarily Mil and Eurocopter, UTair Group helicopters service clients on four continents. Principal UTair clients for helicopter services in Russia include leading Russian oil and gas companies, many of which have more than 40 years of cooperation with the airline. UTair is the largest provider of helicopter services to the UN since 2002.

The Show will feature performances including the show's just-announced headliner, the Royal Canadian Air Force Jet Demonstration Team, known as the Snowbirds, along with thrilling military demonstrations, world-class aerobatics, wingsuit flyers, barnstorming, wing walking, and endless entertainment and displays along the ramp. Show organizers say that many of the acts booked for the 2013 show will be performing in Sacramento for the first time. “Sacramento is in for a rare treat this year. The Snowbirds fly a nine ship formation and fans will be captivated with the graceful yet heart-pounding aerial demonstration,” said Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow. “Serving as Canadian ambassadors, the Snowbirds demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Forces. Since they are an international jet team, their travels to the US can be limited – you won’t want to miss this performance. They may not be back for years.” The Snowbirds’ pilots and aircraft technicians spend the winter months at their home base in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, acquiring and practicing the skills necessary to perform in very demanding positions.

"After months of bargaining, the company's unwillingness to adequately address our pilot group's most pressing issues has forced us down this path," said CAW National President Ken Lewenza. "It's truly a shame that such a profitable company would choose to ignore reasonable requests of its highly skilled flight crews." "It's truly discouraging," said CAW Local 7378 President Captain Dave Matkovich. "The company refuses to move on issues of inefficient scheduling, crew fatigue, unproductive work hours and compensation. We understand the need for our company to maintain its current pay structure and have only asked for a minimal wage increase," Matkovich said. Major issues concerning the pilots at Sunwing Airlines are scheduling stability, greater productivity while away from home, and the length of continuous time on duty with respect to fatigue. The Sunwing Travel Group announced earlier this year that it once again made the list in the Annual PROFIT 200 Ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT Magazine. Sunwing Travel Group, which employs over 1,700 employees, ranked at #94 in 2011, boasting a 521% growth. The Sunwing Travel Group has also been ranked on both the PROFIT 100 list and the PROFIT 200 list seven additional times, exhibiting the company's strength and continued growth throughout the years. Sunwing's pilots have been bargaining since August. The Sunwing pilot group's contract expired on November 30. They now await the appointment of a conciliation officer.

The center is located in the Seletar Aerospace Park, a major hub for the Singapore aerospace industry. The inauguration was attended by Singapore government officials, the French and the Italian ambassadors, top executives of Asian ATR operators and ATR CEO Filippo Bagnato with other top management representatives of ATR. The new center has the capacity to train more than 600 pilots and maintenance crew per year. The facility features the new Full Flight Simulator (FFS), an integrated suite of flight training devices and advanced classroom settings to provide both pilot and maintenance training for multiple ATR aircraft platforms. The new FFS enables training for both ATR 42-600s and ATR 72-600s variants. Fully equipped, the facility and its flight training equipment have recently been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). “ATR's extensive presence in Asia and around the globe, together with our unwavering commitment to quality, assures our customers of the highest fidelity and reliability for their training programs. The aim is to be always closer to our customers," said Filippo Bagnato, ATR Chief Executive Officer. ATR and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), the lead government agency for planning and executing strategies, have closely collaborated to launch this new training facility. “We are pleased to have the strong support of Singapore's Economic Development Board. Our facility in Singapore will enable ATR Eastern Support, ATR's dedicated customer support center for Asia Pacific which has already been operating in Singapore for close to 25 years, to bring our comprehensive regional support services offering to a higher level hand-in-hand with the industry and public sector,” added Mr Bagnato. "ATR's investment is a strong vote of confidence for Singapore, and underscores our efforts to provide comprehensive aftermarket solutions for Asia-Pacific," said Mr. Lim Kok Kiang, Executive Director, Transport Engineering of EDB. "We look forward to deepening our partnership with ATR as it continues to grow and expand in this region.” (News release image provided by ATR) FMI: www.atraircraft.com For the WHOLE story, go to http://www.aero-news.net/news/commair.cfm?ContentBlockID=f0eaed6e-1ffd-48dd-846e-241ecf3e9dd3 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ANN FAQ: How To Get YOUR News Out On Aero-News Good News, Bad News... It's ALL News As the preeminent online aviation news resource out there, to say the editorial staff at Aero-News sees a large number of news releases -- and notices of new products -- each day would be a profound understatement; we see hundreds each week, with sources ranging from Boeing's prolific press center... on down to the backyard tinkerer, who has come up with something completely new and innovative for the industry, and shoots us a short email about it. We look at all of them, and can usually tell whether something merits publishing consideration within reading the first couple of paragraphs. Often, however, a new and innovative product can be overlooked because of the very words written to promote it, by the very people who created it. Those people should be best able to tell others why it's so new and innovative -- but often, the information is... frankly, uninspiring. Most of the time, a company is its own worst enemy when writing a press release -- either they fail to tell us why their new product is important, they don't properly target the audience they're trying to reach... or, their true achievement is buried under lawyer's jargon, flowery prose... or self-aggrandizing statements that would make Narcissus blush with embarassment. It is important to remember that a news release is NOT an advertisement -- or, at least, it shouldn't be. News releases are just that... putting your news out into the mainstream, or conveying information to your target audience so they can then make up their own mind. If you want to inspire someone to buy your product... contact ANN about our very reasonable advertising rates. We're happy to help there, too. Having said that... what is the best way for a company to get its news out? 1) First of all, keep your audience in mind when crafting your release. Is it a message for the flying public? If so, which sector do you primarily wish to appeal to? General aviation? Bizav? Military? All have slightly varied -- but very real -- perceptions, opinions and jargon. Know your audience... and write to them. 2) Send pictures. That goes for clipart, logos and digital snapshots. "Art" is precious to print media types like us. If you're promoting someone, send a picture! That way, you get your company's logo in the story and the person you're talking about gets his or her picture on the web (not recommended for those who are deeply in debt or wanted by the law). 3) Make sure the pictures are relevant to the story. 4) Add quotes. Quotes are pictures painted with words. We really like quotes. 5) Don't get fancy. When inserting the aforementioned quotes in a story, you don't have to agonize over ten different ways to say "he said." That'll do just fine, actually. 6) Always include a web reference. Every story we publish at Aero-News has an "FMI" line. That's a web address or email that readers can use to obtain more information. 7) Email submissions work best at ANN. Phone calls are certainly welcome, but emails are much more effective. 8) Work in advance. Don't send something to any news organization without as much lead time as possible. 9) If you intend your message for the general public -- the average person with no connection to the flying industry, apart from the occasional redeye to New York -- be absolutely SURE your release is free of jargon... or, explain what you mean (example -- does everyone in your target audience know what the initials FAA stand for?) If in doubt, run it past someone with little to no aviation background before sending it out... to see what questions they may have. 10) Keep in mind the infamous five "w's" and one "h" when writing your release -- Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Since this is a business, we also add a second "h" to the mix -- How much. Answer those questions, and you've done almost all the heavy work. 11) Construct your news release as if you were having a conversation with a member of your target audience. What would you like to tell them first... and how would you say it? Write that "conversation"... really, it IS that simple. 12) And speaking of simple... KEEP it simple, and on message. If you have more than one message, write more than one release. 13) When sending a release to ANN, send it to editor@aero-news.net. If you send it to any other mailbox, it could get delayed. If you have questions, ask us. Perhaps you've noticed already, but we're very responsive to our readers. When we get your email, we make every effort to reply within 24 hours -- and often reply within six hours. Don't be afraid to drop us a line and ask our advice. After all, this is your publication and you deserve to be in it! But When Do You Send A News Release? Whether sharing happy news, or managing a crisis, a news release is one of your most vital tools. "Happy" News is just that... a new product release, success stories, personnel changes (promotions, new hires, etc.), contract awards, and sales achievements. It's the stuff you WANT to write about... and, not surprisingly, that it's the stuff WE want to write about, too. But alas, not all news is good news... and it's important to remember that your message is just as vital -- in fact, we'd say even more so -- during bad times, as it is during the good times. Getting your message out to the media shows forthrightness, leadership, and that you are in control of the situation. Think about it... aviation is an industry that has seen more than its share of setbacks and failures. How many failures have ALL of the most successful aerospace companies out there experienced? Too many to count... and far more than the number of their successes, no matter how memorable those may be. In bad times, your message might explain a downturn in business, views on a regulatory issue or trend, a mishap involving your product or service, or layoffs... and with each of those, the key is to get the information out there. Remember that talk of forthrightness and leadership we mentioned above? This is when your company can best show its most admirable qualities. It's easy to appear successful when you're hyping an exciting new product or service -- but admitting your setbacks honestly -- and describing what steps you're going to take to correct them -- shows your true character. It's as true with companies as it is with people. Above all -- Whether it's good news or bad, a company should not be afraid to put all the relevant information out to the media.

We appreciate every one of those releases -- news is news, after all, and we want to be an information outlet for everyone. After having seen the best and the worst in press releases over the years, we have some ideas to help companies do so much more to help themselves, both with ANN and with the general media. For instance: 1) Send pictures. That goes for clipart, logos and digital snapshots. "Art" is precious to print media types like us. If you're promoting someone, send a picture! That way, you get your company's logo in the story and the person you're talking about gets his or her picture on the web (not recommended for those who are deeply in debt or wanted by the law). 2) Make sure the pictures are relevant to the story. 3) Add quotes. Quotes are pictures painted with words. We really like quotes. 4) Don't get fancy. When inserting the aforementioned quotes in a story, you don't have to agonize over ten different ways to say "he said." That'll do just fine, actually. 5) Always include a web reference. Every story we publish at Aero-News has an "FMI" line. That's a web address or email that readers can use to obtain more information. 6) Keep it short. Brevity is a happy thing. 7) Email submissions work best at ANN. Phone calls are certainly welcome, but emails are much more effective. 8) Work in advance. Don't send something to any news organization without as much lead time as possible. 9) When sending a release to ANN, send it to editor@aero-news.net. If you send it to any other mailbox, it could get lost. If you have questions, ask us. Perhaps you've noticed already, but we're very responsive to our readers.
