That’s one reason those of us in the news business complement our print stories with coverage on the web, where we can bring our considerable editorial resources to bear in a timely way. DTI and its sister publication, Aviation Week & Space Technology, cover stories just as quickly as mainstream media, but we go well beyond their news with award-winning reporters whose work reflects the knowledge and insight gained from decades of experience. The big news in March was Northrop Grumman/EADS’s KC-X tanker victory. And AVIATION WEEK was right there with our trademark coverage, both on AviationWeek.com and Ares, as well as in AW&ST and Aerospace Daily & Defense Report. When there’s breaking news in aerospace and defense, our web stories, blogs and publications are must-reads. We cover the angles the major news outlets don’t see—or understand. Here are some of our best stories on the KC-X: Northrop Grumman/EADS Win USAF Tanker “Corbeau a la Languedocienne” (Translation: DTI Editor-In-Chief Bill Sweetman admits his prediction was wrong) Tanker Win Moves Airbus Freighter to U.S. My Two Cents on the Tanker Deal as a Former USAF C-5 Pilot Tanker Decision May Not Be End of 767 The Wrong End of the Boom (The New York Times miscovers the story) Something else we can do online that we can’t do as well in print is post lots of pictures. AVIATION WEEK’s Defense Showcase Photo Gallery is updated many times each week with fascinating photos from around the world. Additionally, Senior Editor David Hughes does a Photo of the Week post for Ares. Finally, a few of the best posts from Ares over the past month: Good Night Nighthawk Typo “Cancels” British JSF Production B-2s Are Tough, Sometimes Misguided Reasons Not To Fear China Rough Waters for Ship Plan Video: Engaging the Taliban UAV Ops at Creech AFB –Sean Meade, Columbia, S.C.
