L to R: Dan Bryant, general manager of TAC Air, which played host to the NBAA Regional Forum, with John F. McCarthy Jr., publisher of Business Jet Traveler.
TAC Air at Centennial Airport played host September 15 to the National Business Aviation Association’s Regional Forum, an all day experience for those interested in regional aviation, and for business leaders wishing to discover more about business aviation and the NBAA.
An integral component of these regional forums is a series of presentations and discussions on timely and important topics. Included in this year’s forum were six presenters and a panel making presentations on such topics as FAA medical certification, Rocky Mountain ski airport system and infrastructure changes, flight department management, aircraft ownership considerations, aircraft maintenance issues and operations issues.
Ed Bolen, NBAA president and CEO, presented the opening session. He gave an encouraging and deliberate talk on the state of affairs and the future of business aviation. Nearly 800 attendees took part in the event, visiting some 70 exhibits and nearly two dozen static display aircraft.
