Aero-News Quote of the Day

“The Nation’s aviation system is the safest in the world, but it is woefully inefficient to meet the increasing demands of the 21st century. (This) hearing will shine a spotlight on the challenges facing American aviation and highlight the urgent need for transformational reform of the FAA.  We need to rethink the operation and modernization of our air traffic control service in order to improve the system for the American people, passengers, and pilots.”
