1. It’s Back to Business at NBAA 2001

Notwithstanding a three months’ delay and an uncertain economy, it was back to business in New Orleans at the 54th National Business Aviation Association Annual Meeting and Convention.

Fewer airplanes meant that our roving eye had more time for some closer looks. So relax while we take you on a tour of these beauties. Photography by Bob Kaputa.
