Wow ! What a year 2022 has been — spanning an early slow start , to welcome recovery , to a straight-up climb reaching pre-pandemic business levels — with more to come ! Thankfully , the growth we are currently experiencing looks like it will continue into the coming New Year of 2023 .
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our Northwest Aerospace News subscribers and advertisers . We have stood arm and arm with you through these “ interesting ” days . We continue to be excited about sharing this amazing industry with an engaged audience , as well as helping inspire future generations to participate in the aerospace industry .
With the convenience of Zoom calls and COVID now in the rear view mirror , it is a welcome change to meet in person and shake hands with so many of you . There is no better way to make real connections than to sit with someone and enjoy face-to-face conversation .
Top Drawer Media will be bringing our “ A ” game to 2023 with our newly reframed Aerospace Vendors website www . aerospacevendors . com
We are also looking towards the future with our new junior aerospace magazine Let ’ s Go Aerospace ! Individual subscriptions are now available . www . letsgoaerospace . com .
Northwest Aerospace News will continue its mission to effectively promote your businesses and the Pacific Northwest aerospace cluster , as well as provide the anticipated “ Who ’ s Hiring Guide ” supplement with each issue . www . northwestaerospacenews . com
So , here ’ s to 2023 ! May this become the year that makes the last three seem like distant memories . Cheers !
To your success ,
Dean Cameron Publisher www . topdrawermedia . com
