Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It was great to explore the whole state and land at so many different airports. As pilots we always practice the same approaches at the same airports, but this gave me experience landing in many different environments. Some runways are real narrow, there are a few that aren’t paved, and some sit right on top of mountains. Some are real short, and there’s one you can’t land at."
