Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are extremely grateful to EAA for making the Spirit available to us for our auction.

We hope the opportunity for a ride in this incredible aircraft will draw lots of excitement from the aviation community and increase the interest in the mission and programs of the Foundation as well."
