About the Blog:
This blog is for anyone and everyone. Whether you are an expert in aviation, or have never flown at all, this blog is designed to fit you. It is our intent to write about topics in aviation that are interesting to the public eye. Our opinions in each post are solely Jonathan’s and Andrew’s, respectively. If you have your own personal view, feel free to share it (without explicit content). We, and others, enjoy reading what you have to say.
Prior to the name Aviation Buzz, the blog was entitled “An Aviator’s Blog.” An Aviator’s Blog began in July of 2008 as a summer project for Jonathan. From July to mid-November 2008, it was solely under the domain of http://jonathanheckman.com. Aviation Buzz was founded in mid-November of 2008. Since the overall blog start-up in the summer of 2008, it has grown significantly in: hits per day, features, and overall audience / recognition.
