"There was the early 1990s, the big bump after 9/11 and this — the perfect storm in which the global economic condition is hitting us,” said Mary Smith, executive director of the Oklahoma Aerospace Alliance.

This latest hard time for the aerospace industry, Smith said, is an opportunity for its leaders to confer and exchange ideas and to attend workshops designed to help companies achieve success.

The aerospace summit is expected to focus on two key topics — work force training and research, Smith said.

The summit begins today at the Crowne Plaza Hotel downtown, Smith said.
