Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We would need billions and billions and billions more dollars. It is a balancing act of the entire portfolio of warfighting capabilities that we need because we are catching up on the peace dividend. And we can't afford to put all the money in tankers that it would take to do something like that."

Source: Sue Payton, head of acquisitions for the USAF, commenting to The Financial Times the Air Force won't consider splitting its initial 80-plane order for new aerial tankers between offerings from Boeing and EADS.
