Kicked off the "Fighting 55th" Air Wing inaugural symposium on ISR ("Leading the Fight: Airborne ISR in 2025"). DEPSECDEF Gordon England closes it, with SECAF Michael Wynne in between. I was immediately followed by old friend David Gordon, now Vice Chair of the National Intelligence Council (he goes back to both the Y2K project and the NewRuleSets.Project with Cantor Fitzgerald); we talked together through the reception last night and had breakfast this morning (I telling him of Enterra's Development-in-a-Box work in Kurdistan and he describing his very intense work sked on Iraq and Afghanistan--and yes, I take off my journalist/columnist hat for such discussions).

As usual, I spent less than 24 hours here in Omaha (roughly 18), but it was enjoyable and the interaction with officers was very good).
