Aero-News Quote of the Day

“We accomplish these goals by hosting a friendly annual vintage aircraft competition, where each aircraft is judged against restoration standards in line with those of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. We bring together rare vintage aircraft which have been meticulously restored to compete for the coveted Grand Champion Neil A. Armstrong Aviation Heritage Trophy. The Armstrong Trophy resides throughout the year in the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum’s Hazy Center.”
