More TBA

Hmm...very nice, organized schedule. I'll be sure to participate in the seminar, as well as the Aviation and Rail expos, with Daniel of course.

P.S. Post #600!

I sure hope you mean me.

If you wish, the December Minor Summit can be aviation? We don't have a theme yet.

Sure. I'll be bidding then, since we can't secure the host yet.

Awesome schedule, can't wait!

Nice, waiting for December 2010!

Nice schedule!

Flight Simulator and I will spearhead the Aviation Expo

And I shall follow with automata!

By the way, Liberater and I were discussing about an AIN version of the Blue Angels. We can either talk about it now or in the minor summit.

Is this similar to the Red Arrows?

If I may say something....

Airlines are good and well, and a major part of AIN and the world today. But, I think our airlines transit system is good as it is right now, there are many airlines and air alliances. I feel we need to focus on rail, ships, mass transit, etc. just as much as we do any other aspect of transportation. If need be, we could even have an Air Transportation Department and an "everything else department".

I don't want to seem like I am jumping on everyone about it; but something I've witnessed, even in my time as Head of Trans. was that airways are dominant over every method of transportation. I'd like to see a change in that.

Great Point, DC!

So, in order to get the most focus out of the other expos, I will be moving the Aviation Expo to March 2011.

Well...you didn't have to if you didn't want to. I'd just like to have balanced activity at all the expos.

But thanks for listening!

No, it's a great idea! This is vital to the survival of the Rail Road and Space forums.

You just have to make sure people show off stuff for Rail, Road, and Space.

So, what would you like the December Summit to be about then?

I propose it to be an aviation summit cum airshow.

Emgmod: Of course! That's my primary objective for these summits/expos; get their creative juices flowing!

Thomas: I just switched March/December up. Currently, December's event is the Road Expo.

Kevin: I beg your pardon?

kevin: lolwut?
