Our speakers in the general session and workshops were great and the overall conference program was well received by all.  Between the meetings, lunches and breaks provided the opportunity to relax and network with colleagues from around the world.  And things really got wild during the Silent Auction!

 

 

The Silent Auction

 

 

This year's auction produced a flurry of excitement when bidding for the rare FedEx model A380 came under the hammer. An aircraft that will never be build is always a collector's item and this was won after a nail biting contest between Penny Richmond of Instone Air Services and Stephen Poirier of Calgary Airport. Stephan's nerve finally cracked and the plane was sold to Penny for an amazing $1100  but Jim Haggarty topped the list with $1125 for two air tickets donated by Continental.  

 

Michael Kuntz, Silent Action Administrator, thanks everyone for their participation in the 4th Annual silent action which raised $3648 for AATA. As a non profit organization, this amount is greatly appreciated.
