Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We are quite pleased to see this provision included within the bill... The banner towing community has unfairly singled out since the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Incredibly, they have been prevented from operating, seemingly for commercial reasons.  The Subcommittee's action corrects this injustice and all aviation businesses should be gratified with this step toward restoring their ability to make a living."
