NBAA pulls out of NEW...

"NBAA to Relocate 2008 Annual Meeting & Convention
April 26, 2007
NBAA today announced that it has made the difficult decision to move its 2008 Annual Meeting & Convention from New Orleans to Orlando. "We have been looking forward to hosting our Convention in New Orleans in 2008, consistent with our desire to assist the city in recovering from Hurricane Katrina," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "Reluctantly, we have made the difficult decision that we will not be able to host the Annual Meeting & Convention in New Orleans, but will have to move it to Orlando," he said. The new dates will be Monday, October 6 through Wednesday, October 8, 2008."

A frustrated NEW could not be reached for comment...

In all seriousness, my understanding is that NEW hasn't come close to being repaired. There's only one FBO (Millionair) and the ATCT is not operating.

Apparently, an ASOS is up and running, finally, but the ILS may be gone for good...

While I'm sad to see New Orleans lose this show, I'm pretty excited to see that it's going to be held instead in my backyard. Maybe I'll get to meet Dave in person after all...
