Many times New Years just means starting a new calendar and remembering to write the new year instead of using the old one. But for me, 2015 means a big change, albiet in familiar surroundings. I’m taking on a new role as managing editor of The Weekly of Business Aviation after covering aviation for the Wichita Eagle for 15 years. I’ll still be based in Wichita and look forward to continuing to work with people at manufacturers, suppliers and other aviation businesses that I have dealt with over the years.
