Day 3 of the 2011 Air & Space Conference

We are now on the last day of the 2011 Air & Space Conference and Technology Expo! We've got some great things going on today, with a panel on US Contingency Operations Tomodachi & Odyssey Dawn, as well as our Four-Star Forum, which will be the very last session of the Conference!

Yesterday had our social media team inundated with the many different sessions, covering future challenges of the USAF, present issues that the nation is addressing and great stories from historical airmen.

WWII Bomber George Kuckenbecker provided us
with some great photos of his time in the war.

The Technology Expo is sporting some amazing advancements in aerospace technology, so make sure to check it out our exhibit halls before they close at 4pm. We also had several book signings yesterday at the AFA booth, and we have one more scheduled for today: co-author Don Shepperd of Bury Us Upside Down will be signing at 11am!
