Aero-News Quote of the Day

“I think the whole city of Coranado was there. It was a happy day.”

Source: Tom Rice, who turned 100 years old on Sunday, August 15. Not one to settle for a boring birthday party, he celebrated the day by jumping out of the Commemorative Air Force's C-53 D-Day Doll assigned to the Inland Empire Wing based in Riverside, California. Rice parachuted in Normandy on D-Day, leading 18 paratroopers.
