Post Report – ASOG Networking Meet-Up – Police Aviation Unit Tour

ASOG 2022 Focus Area | Networking

Posted By | ASOG Desk Editor

Before getting started, we would like to thank all Austrian Detachment II/7 – Air Police men and women for hosting the Airborne Sensor Operators Group. With their super professionalism, dedication, and service, the world is definitely a safer place.

The local ASOG Vienna Austria members had a spontaneous opportunity to Meet-Up and network last weekend (Saturday, 27 August 2022). Like other past ASOG Meet-Ups, it was a great chance to network with other sensor operators, industry, and their families in the local area.

ASOG member Dominik Grimm (Austrian Police Officer, Tactical Flight Officer) arranged a tour for his fellow ASOG members (plus, families) around his Police Aviation Unit's busy schedule at the Vienna International Airport.

The tour included a fantastic overview of their mission, a walk-around of their base operations, observing a quick-response launch and recovery security patrol, and a detailed TFO powered-up workstation experience.

Following the tour, Networking continued at a nearby Gasthaus for lunch. Again, like previous Meet-Ups, new professional friendships came about, and great professional topics were discussed.

Based on the feedback from Dominik's unit and the ASOG members who attended, this tour and ASOG Meet-Up were great successes. As many of you know, organizing professional networking events is one of the core functions of the Airborne Sensor Operators Group, i.e., breaking down barriers and opening doors for like-minded professionals.

The Next ASOG Meet-Up

The next ASOG Meet-Up will be held at the EUROPEAN ROTORS 2022 VTOL show and safety conference from 8 to 10 November in Cologne, Germany. If you didn't know, the EUROPEAN ROTORS organizers have made space for our association to conduct a conference & meet-up.

Our conference will take place on the 8th (Stage 2, 1300 to 1700). The conference will consist of presentations by ASOG members relating to the Airborne Sensor Operator career field, i.e., sensors, multi-missions, non-rated aircrew topics, aircraft, etc. Along with this, ASOG will have a base camp for members to hang out and relax throughout the show, i.e., AV Buyer Magazine | GA Buyer Europe Magazine Booth.

Even though it's only three months out, mark the date and make time to attend. With the ASOG conference & meet-up embedded with an exceptional large aviation tradeshow, you'll be able to learn something new and network in one place. In the weeks to come, we'll start posting more information. However, if you have any questions prior, please let us know.
