Last Friday I got to attend a kick off Investor Party for Air and Space Television.\u00a0 It was a great event with a number of aviation\u00a0and broadcasting notables in attendance.\u00a0 I am happy to have been one of the original investors in this exciting endevor to bring a quality channel about flight into being.<\/p>\n

I had been originally approached by Phil Hurst over a year ago about the idea while he was still working at the Golf Channel.\u00a0 He was the first employee hired when the Golf Channel was at the stage Air & Space Channel Television is today.\u00a0 Phil had a dream of using his knowledge, connections and passion for aviation to create Air & Space Television and kept me in the loop as his dream unfolded.\u00a0 Recently I became one of the initial investors to help take it to the next level.\u00a0 The Golf Channel was recently valued at over $1 Billion!<\/p>\n

I have several motives for being involved.\u00a0 One, I think there is a void\u00a0for a product like this if delivered properly.\u00a0 Second, I see it as a great opportunity and outlet for some of what Fantasy of Flight can contribute in the way of product content and direction.\u00a0 And third, I want to learn and understand this business because . . . who know’s? . . . You might see a Fantasy of Flight Channel one day!<\/p>\n

There is some great talent behind the beginnings of this so stay tuned as Air & Space Television begins to sprout its wings!<\/p>\n
