"It gives me great pleasure to welcome readers to this new edition of the FAI's official on-line magazine, "Air Sports International".This is the only place on the Internet with top quality international news and features about all air sports.

As the newly-elected President of FAI, the World Air Sports Federation, I intend to give high priority to keeping the air sports community well informed. Our Internet magazine will be a key element in this strategy. I hope that you will find much to interest you in this edition, and that you will revisit these pages often."
