My job at this month’s NBAA show in Las Vegas was to present our AINtv webcasts. I’ve been working on AINtv since its launch in 2006 and it really is great fun—in fact, don’t tell my boss, but it’s light relief from the daily grind of churning out articles for AIN’s print and online editions.
Apart from the dangers of using excessive blusher, one of the challenges of television is the need to distill complex news into almost microscopic bites of information and comment. Five years ago, during my first week as an AINtv reporter, our producer told me that she needed “something short” on the state of the global business aviation industry.
