AvBrief is quickly becoming the hub for the best in GA news coverage and analysis.

Some of us think that it always has been, even before the <cough> “name change”. Now Julie will bring her valuable insider insight to our feed.

Frankly, the biggest draw for me has always been the breadth and quality of its readers’ commentary.

I was a longtime reader of the old [AViation WEBsite] and I think AvBrief has already risen to, and even exceeded, its best days. Sad to see so many once-proud aviation media brands dying under Firecrown’s AI slop diktat, but so it goes.

The rush is on to join AvBrief. Good news travels fastest among news types and the wind of a good story makes others want to get a scoop.

Congratulations Julie. Just took a moment to read some of your stuff on your website. Gratified you’re noting historical connections with current issues and doing your pieces on women in aviation. A perspective “after my own heart.” Continued success.

Hi Julie,
I see you’re gone from FLYING. I wrote for IFR and got the unceremonious boot, too.
i met you years ago at a conference when you had just started at AOPA. I told you then that you were going places, and you have!

I’ve always liked Russ and he’s a fine writer.I read his news page in IFR every month. He always had his ear to the ground. I think you’ll be happy there.

Congratulations and best wishes,

Fred Simonds
Contributing Editor, IFR Magazine (ret.)
