Aero-News Quote of the Day

"We have extended the closure at our HQ location, which we enacted due to wildfires in the area which have resulted in very poor air quality and evacuations in the surrounding areas. Many of our staff members have had to evacuate their homes with their families, while others are on standby to do so. As such, a significant number of people are displaced and have pressing family responsibilities. This way our Van’s team members can best take care of themselves and their families... As a result, we will not be conducting any business operations on Thursday. This includes telephone services, email communication, orders, shipping, and factory production. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding during this dynamic and unpredictable time."
