Hello and welcome to episode 21 of Av Talk, our final new episode of the year, I am

E. Petchnick and here for the 21st time with...

Jason Rabinow, hello.

It's the middle of December, we're recording our 21st episode how do you feel?

Tired but not for traveling reasons for I guess a change I've just been here going to work every day

and that's surprisingly that's more tiring than traveling like usual.

Who would have thought? Yeah, who knew?

So this episode is our last new episode of the of the year.

The good folks who put up with listening to the raw cuts of this

You have no idea how that is.

Going on holiday at the end of the month.

So we're going to bring something a little bit different in the next episode.

But in this episode, it's also a little bit different because we put together a brief survey and sent it out there on the socials media and got, let's see, we ended up with over 120 responses, which is I think pretty respectable considering how the trends worked out.

So we're going to go through what we thought, what Jason and I thought was, and what you all sent in the biggest aviation stories of 2017 and then

we're also going to talk about what's coming up next year and what we think is going to make a big difference there.

So let's just dive in, shall we?

How do we do this?

Well, that's a good question, very carefully.

The answer is always very carefully. So we sent out the

survey and asked what what were the biggest aviation events stories, things that made you stop and really look at it over the last year.

And there were some themes that really developed over the 100 and, well, we gave you kind of

three options, so I guess we'll call it you know 300 responses.
