Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Along with the rest of you, I watched in horror as many of those I knew and worked with perished, and those glorious buildings were reduced to rubble. This is indeed a tragedy I will remember for all time. In the ensuing years, I have come to heed the President’s advice that we must keep on living, conducting our lives as before and not constraining our activities. To this end I would submit to you that we should not allow General Aviation to be unreasonably constrained or eliminate its future. This would be another tragedy I would rather not have to watch. Should this happen, the terrorist will have surely won without doing anything.”
