Waiting for Philadelphia
I never fly to visit my parents for Christmas as I figure the five and half hours it takes to get there by car is the same if I fly. This year I tried flying ... and I've been sitting at the airport for two hours with two more to go as my flight is delayed almost three hours -- because of the Philadelphia connection.
Ah yes, now I remember…
Now I remember why I do not often travel. It can be a living nightmare. I know people say that; I say that quite often, in fact, but I really, truly mean it this time, from the depths of my being. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online at www.pennwellblogs.com/mae.
Fighting over journalists
Ok, maybe not fighting but sponsoring companies of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) were flipping coins to see who got which journalist at their table at the AIA Year-End Review and Forecast luncheon last week at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.
Living like a pioneer in the wake of Northeast ice storm
It's not easy living without electricity or running water, with the prospect of several more days before the lights go back on.
Quick turnaround in wartime
Many of our stories this past year have covered how U.S. Department of Defense leaders are pushing aside funding for long-term programs to get equipment and technology into the field quickly to help the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan – especially for technology to defeat improvised explosive devices or IEDs.
Times are tough, pants are tight
When the economy turns south, most businesses reign in expenditures by curtailing travel. It is easy, however, to become cloistered in the office and detached from the industry. I know of what I speak, as I often and inadvertently find myself holed up in my office. A trip to I/ITSEC in Orlando, however, saved me from my Dickenson-like existence and put me back in touch with the markets I so happily serve. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online.
IITSEC, fun show
What makes the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (IITSEC) in Orlando, Fla., fun is the exhibits where you can refuel Air Force F15s in midair, test the avionics of other jet fighters, fire Javelin missiles, test your efficiency with a handgun or rifle, or even fire weapons for a gun boat in rough waters -- all on the show floor.
Giving thanks where it is due
I am not an historian, though I play one on the Mil & Aero Blog. I kid. I don't portend to know all that I should about history; I believe I have gained and continue to enhance a wonderful education, but I'll admit to some pot-holes in my education when it comes to names, dates, and faces. I find myself wanting to know more these days, and so I opted to research the topic of Thanksgiving this week. Read The Mil & Aero Blog.
Love covering space
My favorite beat at Military & Aerospace Electronics over the years has been space, specifically NASA programs.
Bright spots in bleak economy
At a time of recession, when a majority of businesses are slashing budgets, eyeing the bottom line, continually conscious of the dwindling profits, how is it that other companies are growing, acquiring other firms, and expanding their portfolio product and services? What are they doing right? A great deal, I can only assume. Read The Mil & Aero Blog online.
