FROM THE DESK OF THE PUBLISHER
On to Dallas The Rotorcraft Pro Media Network team is packing up and head-
ing to the inaugural NightCon conference in Dallas, Texas. I would like to take a minute and thank a few of our supporters and a few folks who have done an exhaustive amount of work putting this event together.
Night Flight Concepts and Aviation Specialties Unlimited, who
have partnered with RPMN as producers of NightCon, have put together quite an impressive line up of subject matter experts to speak on a wide variety of subjects. Leading that effort is Mr. Randy Rowles. Thank you Randy, your hard work and professionalism is greatly appre- ciated.
I’d also like to thank Lyn Burks of our own RPMN team. Lyn,
as many of you know, heads up our online media group. Lyn’s atten- tion to detail, hard work and faithful guidance are in large part respon- sible for the success of this event.
my gratitude; your diligence is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank our presenting sponsor REBTECH, your
support and encouragement will go a long way toward improving the operations and safety of helicopters and crewmembers in the NVG environment.
Thanks also to our additional sponsors Hoffman Engineering,
Aerodynamix and Avidyne. Without your support this event simply would not have been possible. Thank you.
