Aero-News Quote of the Day

"...an act of domestic terrorism."

Source: The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission commenting on a resolution to condemn the demolition of Meigs Field. The resolution notes that Meigs "was destroyed on March 31, 2003 by Mayor Daley in an effort to close the airport for his own personal reasons but claiming homeland security as an excuse." In their resolution, the commission called upon the Department of Homeland Security to prohibit restrictions on or closures of public use airports on claims of national security without the Department's concurrence and a specific threat.
