Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It's good to see that there are no user fees for general aviation in the Administration's budget plan for 2010. However, we remain concerned that the Administration's long-term planning could leave the door open to user fee proposals for general aviation. This would be a very divisive approach at a time when the industry needs to come together and move forward in making NextGen a reality. We will continue to work with members of Congress and the Administration on a funding plan that builds upon the proven and efficient fuel tax for general aviation."
