Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Through the Airport Watch program, your folks at airports have the ability to call about anything they see that is untoward or unusual that might help us. There is no additional emerging heightened awareness for the Memorial Day weekend I can provide, other than this is a three-day period with many events. Pilots should keep their eyes open for anything unusual."
