What they are saying

“David Allen is one of those rare people through whom the True Source of the spirit of aviation channels (and sometimes erupts) to the rest of us.  No mere fanboy, his hubris is based on a solid understanding of the science and history of aviation and aerospace. Neither is he grizzled, ancient, or jaded – he has yet to meet the magic circumstances that will let hIm complete his private pilot certificate. Perhaps the true measure of David’s appeal is the fact that EAA, Sun ‘N Fun, and AOPA have each chosen him as a new-media spokesperson for recent events. And each has immediately asked him back.

“We each have a little part of our soul that is David Allen. David Allen, on the other hand, is – well – ALL David Allen.  But that we were all that lucky.”
-Steve Tupper, Airspeed

“David’s infectious enthusiasm for life and all things aviation has helped him to make his mark in the New Media world. As co-host of the popular podcast “The Pilot’s Flight Podlog”, he brings both entertainment and an appreciation of the wonder of flight to a wide audience.”
-Jo Hunter, FuturShox.net

“If there is a guy out there who loves aviation more than Dave, and who is NOT a pilot, I haven’t met him. Dave is rated in every vehicle of social media out there, however, and I could not recommend his communication and people skills more without, well, you starting to wonder if he was paying me off. I love this guy.”
-Linda Meeks, GirlsWithWings

“David is an expert practitioner of modern media. He brings years of hands-on traditional media skills which catapult him above the herd of so-called  new-media experts.”
-Mike Miley, myTransponder

“David Allen mixes up a passion for aviation, new media, and the people that love both!”
-Martt Clupper, AirPigz

“After just one year of volunteering with us, Sun ‘n Fun Radio has come to count on David Allen to make things happen. His knowledge of computers and social networking/new media, love of aviation & outgoing personality make him a valuable part of our operation.”
-Dave Shallbetter, Chairman of Sun ‘n Fun Radio

“David Allen wants to be wherever things are happening in the world of aviation and space – and when the rest of us can’t be there, we want Dave to be there because he’ll share the adventure with us!”
-Jeff Ward, Uncontrolled Airspace
