Once again, Flight is here at the National Business Aviation Association show www.nbaa.org in Orlando, Florida, producing Flight Evening News, our innovative concept in bringing today's news to air show visitors today in the form of an evening tabloid newspaper. It's a frenetic and exhausting task: journalists' stories from the morning's press conferences and other nuggets of information which they pic up around the convention hall and static park are collated, laid out together with live pictures, and sent to press at lunchtime. Four hours and a whirl round the presses of Orlando's most efficient printer later, NBAA visitors have the newspaper in their hands, either when they leave the convention centre or static park, or picking it up in their hotel that evening. Our competitors' newspapers - carrying much the same stories - don't hit the halls until the next day. We shouldn't gloat but we like to use the slogan: "Today's news todayÂ…everything else is yesterday's news". You can read breaking news from NBAA - including Bombardier's new Challenger and a new name for the Hawker Horizon - on www.flightinternational.com over the next three days.
