Airborn Media – #GusFlt0511
Later this week I am going to take to the skies with a team of bloggers and social media professionals as guests of the Air Force Reserve Command operations. We have been invited to participate in a special in-flight demonstration of one of their jets being refueled in flight. The mission is a media event, designed to showcase the activities of this Indiana based operation. The Air Force is tapping into the growing influence of bloggers and social media professionals. I am not sure they are ready for our sense of humor (BgKahuna keeps threatening to fly the plane), but I think they...
