History

A2A Simulations was formerly known as "Shockwave Productions Inc.". On May 14th, 2008 Shockwave rebranded its corporate name to Air to Air Simulations Inc (A2A). [cite web |url=http://www.shockwaveproductions.com/a2a_press_release.htm |title=For Immediate Release |accessdate=2008-27-6 |author=A2A Simulations |date=May 14, 2008 |work= |publisher=A2A Simulations]

Air to Air Simulations states that its name change was triggered by reports of customer confusion between Shockwave Productions and a popular online gaming website known as Shockwave. In effort to better serve their customers and avoid any further confusion, a company name change was in order.
