Aero-TV: Arlington 2009 Revisited - The Friendly Fly-In
Source: aero-news.net
 Third Largest Fly-In In Nation LEADS Them All In Terms Of Hospitality
Aero-Note: On the eve of the 2010 rendition of the "Friendliest Fly-In" we know, we thought it paramount to revisit some of the heights of last year's Arlington Fly-In... with the 'high hopes' that those of you who were about to pass up this AMAZING Fly-In, might reconsider and skedaddle yourself to Arlington, WA... which for the next few days IS the Sport Aviation capital of the world! - We hope you have as great a time there as we have had in past years! - Jim Campbell, ANN E-I-C
There is a reason that ANN dubbed the annual Arlington Fly-In the Friendly Fly-In - no other event produces as positive a vibe as Arlington and does it with such consummate professionalism... and yeah, its chock full of aviation goodness, to boot.
ANN sent two of our best folks to Arlington (last) year, to enjoy and document the sites, sounds, stories and personalities of Arlington 2009. ANN E-Media producer Paul Plack and Videographer Nathan Cremisino wore out a lot of shoe leather but came back with big grins on their faces and a sincere appreciation for a Fly-In that "is run awfully well."
That opinion appears to have been shared by many... in light of this year's report in which Arlington, the third-largest fly-in in the country, saw a 14 percent boost in attendance over last year, according to the organizers.
"What can I say, it was great - a phenomenal turnout this year," said Barb Tolbert, executive director for the fly-in. "We are still verifying the number of aircraft - at times the registrations even overloaded our system - but it looks to be well ahead of last year."
Come along with ANN's expert Aero-TV crews and enjoy some of the highlights of the 2009 Arlington Fly-In in this as well as a number of future Aero-TV Feature programs.
