Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Right. Like that really happens."

Source: The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, in response to the Air Transport Association's computer-animated television ad -- featuring a fleet of talking aircraft -- that claims "that hot shot there is clogging up the skies," as a business jet jumps to the front of the line of airliners waiting to depart. The Alliance for Aviation Across America is fighting back with an ad of its own, that soundly refutes the ATA's "distortions and half-truths."
