Changing with the times: Here comes your new Front Range Flyer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --  So what do you think of the new Front Range Flyer?
 
Your Public Affairs office works feverishly to answer these two, simple questions: how do we tell more than 1,400 of our Reserve family members the Air Force story and how do we tell you what's going on throughout the wing and, just as important, how you're being affected by changes in the Air Force? 

It's obvious the way to distribute news and information changes at the speed of the internet. For starters, just read civilian news sources. Newspapers, magazines, bulletins; they're all going the way of the dinosaur. New media, including Web reporting, social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace and viral video sites like YouTube are dominating the way people seek out and get their information. Even the Front Range Flyer, which used to be a monthly publication, has been reduced to a quarterly product.
 
Why the change? The same news and information you can find in your Front Range Flyer has gone online. If you haven't visited our Web site at www.302aw.afrc.af.mil, you're missing out on keeping plugged in with the Air Force Reserve side of your life.

Whether you're a traditional Reservist, civilian working in the wing, an Air Reserve Technician or just a fan of the C-130s parked on the Peterson ramp, every day there is something new for you to read on the Web site. 

But the "Flyer" isn't going away. On the contrary, your Front Range Flyer staff has put a considerable amount of time and effort into redesigning it for this new information age. We think it's snappier, easier to read and a more enjoyable experience. Also, there will be some things in the magazine you can't get anywhere else, like in-depth reporting on major events and changes affecting you. So when the Front Range Flyer comes to your house once a quarter, be sure to pick it up and read it; you might be missing something if you don't.
 
Feel free to drop us a line at Public Affairs if you have any ideas, suggestions or feedback for the Flyer. Our information is just to the right. The PA staff is ready to serve you!
