During the opening session of the Bombardier Safety Standdown this morning, safety specialists promoted the theme of this year’s event—elevate your influence—and celebrated the 28th year of the three-day safety event. Attendance is free, and the event again saw a full house at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Wichita, but those interested can also watch webcasts of many of the presentations live on the Safety Standdown website.

“You'll hear a lot about our theme this year,” said Bombardier demo pilot Franco Pietracupa, who launched the Standdown. “I think it's a great one. I love the word influence because it starts with ‘I’ and you'll hear a lot of our guest speakers talk about influence. You do make a difference.”
