Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Folks, this is a watershed event... it can not be allowed to continue unchallenged... it is simply a case of one narrow-minded, selfish, group trying to exert their will over another... about as anti-American a concept as I know. The Grant-Valkaria insanity needs to be fought aggressively, publicly and with an eye towards not only defeating the madness but making the idiocy of Grant-Valkaria's rule-making an example for all others to avoid. The aviation community needs to band together and show these narrow-minded, elitist, fools the error of their ways..."
