Aero-News Quote of the Day

"When you are exposed to aviation early in your life, there's a good chance that you'll stay involved in aviation. I think the outreach to youth is probably one of the most important areas to expose people not only to aviation but to the things that are important to aviation. Science, Math, Engineering, Technology, and I think America needs to stand up and be strong in that. EAA has a significant role to play ... in it's outreach programs to touch a lot of youth around the country and around the world."
