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.

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"OK, folks... ANN did not suddenly lose its mind (though, there ARE moments... oh, never mind).
Check the DATE. 04.01.05.
It's April FIRST... a/k/a APRIL Fool's Day.
Get It?
If you believed ANY of this stuff, you have been fooled, bamboozled, and otherwise become yet another victim of our annual attempt to enjoy the First day Of April with a little imagination and a LOT of nonsense. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did."

Source: ANN's Jim Campbell, making sure that ANN readers checked the date before they got too involved in any of the stories we publish on April 1st of each year. Happy April Fool's Day!

This year's insanity was brought to you by Jim Campbell, Pete Combs, Mike Sweezy, Kevin O'Brien, Aleta Vinas, John Ballantyne, Juan Jimenez, Chris Armstrong, Michele Kellenbenz, and a huge group of other folks (who actually hope to continue to work in this business) who will kill us if we actually name them. We think you'll agree that this year's bit of tomfoolishness was some of our best yet. Have fun reading it!
