Wing World's legendary (16 years) editor, Nick Hoppner, is coming out of retirement to be a Featured Speaker at Americade 2008. This is his first public appearance since retiring a year ago.

As the former editor of Wing World, he witnessed many changes in long distance touring, and also the media's perception of it. He promised: "it'll be a colorful narrative which will challenge the audience to agree, disagree, applaud or boo and hiss." "We're delighted to host Nick as a Featured Speaker here. I've enjoyed his writing for nearly 2 decades" said Americade Founder Bill Dutcher.
