| By Grant (Falcon124),on July 26th,2009% From the 3rd to 6th of August 2009,the Asia Pacific Aviation Outlook Summit 2009 is being held in Sydney at the Four Seasons Hotel down at the Rocks end of George St (near the Harbour). Shashank Nigam from SimpliFlying will be in town to attend the conference and present a keynote. You may have heard Shashank interviewed on episode 29 of the Airplane Geeks podcast. He’s also been interviewed on CNBC Arabia,the Things With Wings blog at Aviation Week,Asian Airlines &Airports (PDF) and many other places. I’m going to fly up to Sydney for the day on the 5th August to meet Shashank and interview him for the podcast. We’re also going to hold a combined SimpliFlying/PCDU TweetUp while we’re there. In addition to having a drink and mixing with other aviation enthusiasts,the event will also offer a panel discussion moderated by Shashank and featuring Karla Courtney from the Frequent Buyer blog and myself. More panelists are being arranged and I’ll list them as they sign up. Update: Karla’s going to be at the Summit on behalf of her work with the QANTAS Travel Insider site and their associated Twitter account,QFTravelInsider. You’re more than welcome to come and ask questions,suggest topics and otherwise join in. Dress is smart casual and we’ll be starting at 5:30 on Wednesday 5th of August. Sign up to follow the event via TwtVite and Facebook. You can also post a comment here or email us so we can keep you updated about when &where we’re meeting. So,if you’re in Sydney on the 5th of August and can make it down to the rocks from 5:30 onwards (exact venue to be confirmed),you’re more than welcome to come and join us for a few drinks and join in the discussion. It promises to be a great night of fun and information. Update: Venue has been locked in:Top level bar at Jacksons on George (176 George St) –looking forward to seeing you all there:) By Grant (Falcon124),on July 24th,2009% Steve and I would like to say “Thanks!”to all the aviation podcasters and Twitterati who have made the effort to welcome us to the ranks of content producers. People like Jack Hodgson at Uncontrolled Airspace,Steve Tupper at the Airspeed Podcast,Rod Rakic of MyTransponder,Captain Chris (ex Plane Madness,now LightPlane),@redrowen,@EAARentals and many others have all helped retweet our “We’re here”messages and have recommended our podcast to the people they know. Major thanks to you all,folks. Of course,no thank you could be complete without very special mention to the guys at the Airplane Geeks podcast. Max,Dan,Rob and Courtney have really helped us get started,from the early “Australia Desk”entries in their podcast to the invitation to join in with a whole episode (we’ll figure out a way,don’t you worry about that!). Even if Courtney is too busy becoming a Canadian to be involved in the weekly episodes,his podcasting guidance has been invaluable. So thanks once again to everyone who has made us feel so welcome. You’re guaranteed a few beers from Steve &I if we ever get to catch up with you in the real world. By admin,on July 19th,2009% After managing to jump through a few hoops,our podcast is now available through iTunes. You can find it under the Aviation section of the Hobbies &Games category. Woo hoo:) Now to link our Twitter feed (@PCDU) with the blog,get the blog &podcast feeds on clearly marked on the blog,add an iTunes “subscribe”icon and get the look n feel sorted out. Never a dull moment down under,that’s for sure:) By admin,on July 15th,2009% Welcome to Plane Crazy Down Under,an aviation podcast with a focus on the Asia/Pacific area. Produced by Steve Visscher of the AusFlier blog and Grant (Falcon124) McHerron of the Fly Me Friendly blog,Plane Crazy Down Under will feature discussions about aviation news,interviews and anything else we think is suitable for an aviation podcast in this part of the world. The idea for this podcast came to us when we had been producing the “Australia Desk”segment for the Airplane Geeks weekly podcast and finding that,in the process of editing our sessions down to 5-7 minutes in length,lots of stories and discussions were being dropped. It wasn’t long before we realised that all this material could be made into a podcast of our own and thus,Plane Crazy Down Under was born. We’re still going to be editing down a 5-7 minute “best of”from each podcast to make the “Australia Desk”segment for the Geeks. After all,we’d be mad to miss out on the exposure we get from all their listeners and they’re a lot of fun to work with:) For now,the site is active and the first episode is about to be uploaded. In the near future we’ll have the podcast set up properly so you can subscribe to it in your favourite podcatcher. We’ll also get the site looking a LOT better when we get a chance. Feel free to post comments here in the blog or contact us via planecrazydownunder@gmail.com. We’d really like to get your feedback on what you like,what we’re doing wrong and any ideas you might have for content,interviews,etc. | |
