It's been a long time coming, but we've finally launched the new version of NYCAviation.com.
Just under 5 years ago, the site experienced its first re-design, intended to create a simple layout that fed a few dozen locals their aviation fix. Over that half-decade, thanks to so many people involved, we've gone far beyond the city limits to begin serving people all over the world who want something different than what is out there, or something that simply just cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.
The goal of the newest revamp was to create something more modern that afforded us the ability to better manage the site from a technical aspect, and therefore add more content, more easily, and more often, serving your morning bowl of aviation with spunk and true entertainment value. Through this, we can begin to deliver these features to the sprouting aviation communities not only around the country, but around the world as well.
We are still adding our content and tying up loose ends with the new site, but I urge you all to go ahead and look through the news articles, browse the news calendar and it's mouse-over capability, and navigate around the Google Spotting Maps with their airport information tabs, of which will soon also include approach plates. Additional features will continue to be added over the coming weeks and months, and you'll start some seeing exciting changes on the message boards as well.
Please have a look and let me know what you think. If you don't like it, blame me. If you do like it, thank Matt Molnar, who is the man behind the scenes of just about everything you see here.
Our mission over the past 6 years has been to provide aviation enthusiasts the kind of community that brings people and information together at your fingertips and makes a largely unrepresented and uncharted hobby easier to enjoy. We really do want you to watch the planes and let us do the rest </cheesy slogan plug>.
Thank you all for being here. We wouldn't want to do this if it weren't for all of you.
-Phil Derner, Jr.
