I'd like to thank everyone for the warm reception as Delta FLY!'s new editor. I'll do my best to continue producing a quality publication as we've had in the past.
With that said, I'm anxious to get to work and get our 2014 copy moving forward. Many folks have already come forward offering their help.
I'd like to give everyone a chance to contribute. Anything you can think of that would be beneficial or entertaining for our pilots and hobby, please come forward with your ideas, articles, resources, editorials, stories etc..
In addition, if you are a writer, proof reader, photographer, or have former editing experience, volunteering your skills would be really appreciated. I'd like to put together a small team of regular contributors to help finalize each issue.
Please contact me: editor@deltava.org with your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks!!

Bob I think it would be cool if we interviewed Staff. One staff member a month. Think it would be interesting to learn about our staff here.
