Jon Ostrower was in the right place at the right time, tripped and fell and ended up in the blogging universe. His obsession with anything that flies borders on unhealthy and has resulted in a chronic sore neck. Jon knows that he has been writing about aviation for far too short a time to actually be taken seriously.
If you ask him when his love of aviation began, Jon will say, "at birth." However, his first love (age seven) was the Granville Brothers Gee Bee Model Z and it was all downhill from there.
In all seriousness, Jon Ostrower's FlightBlogger has been extensively quoted in many publications and wire services including the Wall Street Journal, Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun, Everett Herald, Bloomberg News and Reuters.
Jon was born in Boston, MA, and went to college in Washington, DC. He floated back to Massachusetts for a short while before returning to the nation's capital, where he now lives to write about all things aviation.
And I always loved planes, from small and wanted to be a pilot and I am close to my dream is fulfilled
Keep up the good work Jon. As you know, the Gov is currently in China and meeting with officials of Hainan Airlines. Use your connections to be the first blogger to report a possible new partnership with the airline and Logan Airport, which could lead to the first non-stop service to Asia from Boston.

....and I thought you went to D.C. so that I'd someday have a presidential candidate I would actually enthusiastically vote for....Oh well, as long as you're happy.. ;)
Keep up the good work Jon!
Great work with your blog, Jon. So-called "normal" people just don't understand us aviation enthusiasts! Would like to meet you if you are planning to be in the Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. area anytime soon.
Again, keep up the great work!!
You know, I just love it when someone borders on overboard for aviation. I am obsessed enough with flight, that I can see right through the skin of an overpassing airliner, right to the flight deck. I would love to find a way to have an alarm clock that would wake me up to ATC chatter.
I am new to your site, and man I just love it. I hope to be a pilot someday myself- I have only flown second seat twice on a Piper Cherokee. If you were ever near TPA or PIE someday, would love to meet you!
Take care, Jim
