Aero-News Quote of the Day

“It’s unfortunate that the truth is being sacrificed for the self interests of Hawker Beechcraft and its owners ... a Canadian company, Onex ... and an investment bank, Goldman Sachs. Hawker Beechcraft is using aggressive media and lobbying tactics to fight the Air Force decision instead of letting the Court decide this issue in due course. These delaying tactics are having the greatest effect on our fellow Americans currently engaged in combat operations. They need the capability that only the A-29 can provide. The delay also is preventing the creation of jobs at a time when there is an urgent need to put Americans to work.” Source: Taco Gilbert, Ret. USAF Brigadier General, and Vice President of ISR Business Development at Sierra Nevada Corporation, concerning the LAS contract award.
