I had no clue Falwell (ACTUALLY HIS FAMILY –HIS OWN INVOLVEMENT IS NOT YET KNOWN) had his own plane service. But, alas, Falwell Aviation is located in Lynchburg, is privately owned, has a flight school and charter’s planes to business professionals and other individuals. The business has been around for 50 years, according to the snazzy Web site, and has a private airport off Route 460.
Andrew Kantor, technology reporter at The Roanoke Times, has decided the motto for the company should be: “32,000 feet closer to God.”

I missed this one last week, as reported from the Bedford Bulletin. Liberty University is sponsoring a race car.
Stephen Berry, a freshman at LU, got the university to sponsor his #71 Monte Carlo Late Model Stock Car for the full NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at the Motor Mile Speedway in Radford.
Among the “associate” sponsors are Falwell Aviation (I had not clue that existed), Liberty Dining and Barnes and Noble at Liberty University.
According to the LU Web site, “Liberty’s sponsorship of the team and the association to the sport of racing and NASCAR’s 90 million fans will provide great exposure for the team and the University. “
Anyone out there know how much it costs to sponser a car like this?

I am working on a story right now for the BRBJ on LU’s acquisition of a technology that will supposedly bring in millions and millions of dollars in revenue to the University. The intellectual property was donated to LU by an engineer who had two children graduate from the school.
The technology is based around printed circuit boards and claims to make the communication between circuit boards in all types of devices much quicker. I have been told this will change the industry.
I am still researching, but keep an eye for the story in the technology issue of the Biz Journal.
