The weather in Tampa last week was beautiful, not that I had much time to experience it. I was busy manning my booth at the AOPA Aviation Summit. Here are the show highlights from my perspective:
AOPA Live: I was interviewed by Rod Rakic, founder of MyTransponder.com, on the subject of social media in business, which was streamed live over the internet. I was nervous (after all, there could have been tens of people watching!), but I think I managed to conduct myself somewhat respectably. Special thanks to Rob Mark for watching my booth while I was on the couch.

Traffic: Other exhibitors reported that traffic was down from past years. It was my first year so I had nothing to compare it with, but I thought the traffic was great on Days 1 and 2 — I collected many names for my newsletter. Day 3 was quiet and very slow… you could have taxied a Cessna down our aisle and not hit a soul.

Marriage: I didn’t see the nuptials myself, but Twitterland was all abuzz when Glenn Plymate and Irene Bolam decided to get hitched at Airport fest.

The Flying Octogenarians: Are you 95 and still flying, like Herb Sloane, above? Well then God bless ya!
