Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

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.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The accident occurred during the landing sequence following a training flight with another B-1B, also stationed at Ellsworth AFB.... The second aircraft, "attempted to land but struck the ground short of the runway and began skidding across the overrun before coming to a stop between two taxiways. The aircraft caught fire... resulting in a complete loss of the $450 million dollar bomber."

Source: From portions of an Air Force Accident report following the loss of a 450 million buck B-1B Lancer bomber... we're afraid to ask what the deductible was.
