Our Approach

At the end of a day at the airport, pilots shootin’ the breeze in the hangar, sharing stories about their flight, the airports they visited, planes for sale, projects they know of being restored, that’s how aeronews7 started.  We needed to make sure that everything we had learned in the aviation world, since last weeks hangar hang-out, was now known to each one of us.

What used to be a good time sharing positive aviation news, like “Hey, be sure to attend the EAA meeting next week, the speaker is an astronaut .”  “You going to the Stearman Fly-in this year at Galesburg?”   “Boy that pancake breakfast fly-in sure raised a lot of money for the Young Eagles, the community really came out to support.”  Has now changed tenor to “Did you hear the new housing development next to the airport is complaining about aircraft noise?  Make sure you attend the public meeting and speak out.”  “What’s going on at Santa Monica Airport.  It’s scheduled to close in 2028 replaced by a park!”  “Did you hear they want to restrict helicopter operations in the Hamptons?”  “A damn shame about Meigs Field in Chicago, that really bites when the local government closes down an airport without any community input.”

General Aviation needs community support.  It’s important to get the local neighborhoods to come out to your airfield and learn why the small general aviation airport is so important.

So we call upon you, the pilot and aviation enthusiast, to share your stories here.  Please tell us about  your local airport events and happenings;  encourage your neighbors to learn more about the small airport in your town.

Welcome to Aeronews7, let’s hear from you soon!
