You’ve read the stats: 26,000-plus attendees, 1,100 exhibitors, 100-aircraft-strong static display. But it was the vibe that sent us home happy. Attendees celebrated the industry, honoring heroes who paved the way and trailblazers who continue to push us forward. Standing-room-only opening sessions included frank talk and we’re-all-in-this-together energy. Announcements not just on press day but throughout the show communicated an industry gaining momentum. Our images cannot capture the depth and breadth of what happened in Orlando. But they should give you a mighty good feel. And a very good feeling.
